A KENEZIAN PROLOGUE FOR
NATURAL SCIENTISITSWORLDWIDE:
· Modern theosophy is generally understood to mean “divine wisdom”.
Theosophical writers hold that there is a deeper spiritual reality and that
direct contact with that reality can be established through intuition,
meditation,
revelation,
or some other state transcending normal human
consciousness.
· Modern theosophy displays a characteristic preference for monism
(see pluralism
and monism)—the view that reality is constituted of
one principle or substance, such as mind
or spirit.
· Moedern theosophists recognize the basic distinctions between the
phenomenal world and a higher spiritual reality and between the human and the
divine, which suggests dualism,
· Monism enunciates an integration of all peoples to form a nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity,
without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, or colour; to encourage the
study of comparative religion, philosophy, and science; and to investigate
unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in human beings.
· Most theosophists also affirm an overarching, all-encompassing unity that
subsumes all differentiation; hence they all posit this eternal humane motto;
ONEALMIGHTY CREATOR, ONE CREATED UNIVERSE and therefore ONE HUMANFAMILY.

1. ONE ALMIGHTY CREATOR, ONE CREATED UNIVERSE, ONE HUMAN
FAMILY IS A GIVEN DATUM NOT A HYPOTHESIS NOR MUNDANE THEOLOGY
THESE ARE THE FOUNDATION PILLARS
FOR THE INTERNATIONAL PRACTICE OF INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT WHICH WERE

THE PRACTICE OF SPIRITUAL FELLOWSHIP FOR ALL NATURAL SCIENTISTS POISED TO
ENTHRONE A LASTING WORLD PEACE IN OUR DIGITALISED GLOBAL VILLAGE WERE SCRIBBLED
PIECEMEAL OVER A TWENTY-FIVE YEAR PERIOD! IT WAS & IS THE DIVINE
INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF THE ENTIRE
UNIVERSE. IT LASTED FROM 11/03/1989 AND ENDED ON 11/03/2014 @ 01:11:39 HRS GMT
· From 1963 when the earthly animator was in his year two in secondary
school till 2003 when he began his crusade to sanitise Christendom marked the
THEORY epoch of the divine revelations he received from above that demarcates
temporal development of ISM.
· From 11th March
2004 to now; March 11th 2014 delineates the development of the
divinely revealed details of the eternal PRACTICE of the international crusade
to enthrone a global crusade to usher in a lasting global fellowship for a
global peace in our digitalised global village.
· From 11th March
2014, be it known that as there were no recorded rituals when the Almighty
Creator engineered the Entire Universe nor were there any informing us of any
liturgical rites when Adam arrived on Planet Earth, so shall there be NO
MAN-MADE RITUALS at the birth or the death of all genuine and wise progeny of
that Adam.
THE DIVINE OVERVIEW OR MISSION STATEMENT
1. All the
fables, legends, doctrines and dogmas of every shade had all along been used by
reprobate demagogues to hoodwink mankind into providing a select few with easy
lifestyle at the expense of the teeming population of men and women that had
been brainwashed and programmed to fear death and the UNKNOWN by idolatrous
rituals.
2. Refresh the minds
of all new converts to this integrational fellowship of true and wise children
of the Almighty Creator of the origin of religion revealed to our earthly Chief
Servant a.k.a. Animator International thus;
“Religion was/is a superstitious search by
humanity for its origin, existence, meaning and relevance before the scientific
era. The search was led by acclaimed sages among the elders of a community who
defined its theories and practices. It is later ratified and recommended for
legislation and implementation by state apparatus by convincing stratagem or
coercion by politico-religious leaders. Thereafter, it is fine tuned and
administered by ordained priests and priestesses who hand it down along
ancestral lineages from one generation of lukewarm adherents, fanatics and
mystics to another. Gradually, strong personalities emerge claiming divine
appointment and so pull strong followers who idolise them as role models with
supernatural powers. This obsession confirms them as beacons of adulation and
finally leads to clannish hero-worship or full scale idolatry. Therefore, my studied summation
stands until it is disproved, I stoically assert that Religion, which is
superstition sanctioned by the state, is actually an addiction to man-made
doctrines and dogmas invented, patented and copyrighted by a few demagogues.
· It enslaves the mind more than
psychoactive drugs,
· Benumbs human creativity and
resourcefulness thereby
· Restricting the development of the
human potential and capital.
It is the main cause of poverty of the mind and
underdevelopment of third world countries as its side-effects are indolence,
redundancy, laziness and dependence on finished products and services. In the
final analysis, it is the predisposing factor to lack of initiative,
debilitating ignorance, fetish belief-systems, abject poverty and perennial
ill-health. Perhaps its
only advantage is that it makes the polity docile and amenable to the whims and
caprices of their oppressive leaders. Often, it hoodwinks its adherents into
believing that ‘The God’ or ‘the gods’ they worship speak to them through the
voices of their egocentric clerics who therefore can conveniently exploit them
to satisfy their demonic desires of sensual pleasure and inordinate ambitions
of amassing wealth. Their wanton indulgence in gluttony, wine and women is seen
in every action and definitely this is the foolproof evidence of their demonic
genealogy. To rescue humanity
from the demonic stranglehold of idolatry that now predominates worldwide, you
are invited to reason along with us and see that we provide an everlasting cure
for sensual lust for food, wine, sex, wealth and power that are the trademarks
of a society heading for damnation! Are you going to sit on the fence and wait
for another failed experiment in messiahship that was riddled with myopic and
ethnocentric bias? Who knows the Creator well enough to declare that he has ‘a
chosen people’? Or, that he had only one son? If mere mortals like responsible
human fathers in every community worldwide can have seven sons or more from one
fertile woman, who limited the Almighty Creator and eternal Father of us all to
only one son? Who is the father of all the other men; ancient and modern, who
had been sent earlier on?
THE EVIDENCE IS SO CLEAR TO EVERY NATURAL SCIENTIST OR THE EDUCATED
RATIONAL HUMAN THUS, WITNESS;
Culture is the summation of ethnocentric survival
strategies that each sub-unit of humanity had developed over the
centuries, institutionalized and passed on to their descendants. It
is only the sons and daughters of the Almighty Creator have ignored their ONE
CULTURE; obedience to all the natural laws as ONE WORLD RELIGION. That is what
we desperately need today just as we use cellular phones and the Internet
without killing anyone. Respect for and obedience to all the laws of nature is
the key for a peaceful world with beautiful people living, loving and sharing
the Creator's benefits as equal heirs to his blissful global world that we now
share amicably thanks to scientists who have uncovered his designs for our
mutual existence. LET US LIVE IN PEACE!

Being
the Paper presented at
THE
UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON RACISM
Held
at Durban , South Africa
23rd August – 2ndSeptember 2001.
Abstract
This guest paper emphasizes the
origins and development of prejudice, discrimination, ethnocentrism, stereotypy
and religious bigotry as the seeds that germinate into racism or political
radicalism, dominant and minority ethnic groups that culminate in stressful
relations, violence and wars.
A cross-cultural harmonization of child-rearing practices is the author’s
therapeutic prescription if youths must be re-oriented towards the universal
brotherhood of mankind. We have the same basic anatomy and physiology; we
share the same air, water, food and rest periods. Blood groupings,
emotions, motivations, and libido allow for similar sex attractions,
pregnancies and births. So, where do these ethnic superiority and
inferiority complexes come from?
The “Kenezian Creed” and “The Letter to Educationists all over the world”,
epitomise the ideals that this Existential Therapeutic Programme
enunciates. The panacea for racism is a systematic re-education,
religious liberalism and socio-political equality, which should form the
foundations of cross-cultural harmonisation of youth counselling and
personality development initiatives.

INTRODUCTION:
Philosophy demands the delimitation of concepts, terms or nomenclatures for
clarity of discussions, analyses, conclusions and recommendations. The
following are relevant in our case:
Prejudice is “a system of negative
conceptions, feelings and action-orientations regarding the members of a
particular group”; whereas“Discrimination” refers to “overt action in which
members of a group are accorded unfavourable treatment on the basis of their religious, ethnic or racial membership”
Zanden, (1972).
Ethnocentrism is “an exaggerated tendency to think the characteristics of one’s own
group or race superior to those of other groups or races” whereas “stereotypy” means
“a pathological symptom of mental or nervous disorder showing itself in
continuous repetition of seemingly senseless words and syllables, or of certain
posture’s and actions”. Drever
(1972).
Religious
bigotry refers to “an obsessive belief and practice system whereby a person or
group of people has strong and unreasonable opinion and will not listen to or
accept any contrary views or religious opinions of anyone who disagrees”.
Hornby (1976).
Racism
or Racialism refers to “any set of
beliefs that organic genetically transmitted differences (whether real or
imagined) between human groups are intrinsically associated with the presence
or absence of certain socially relevant abilities or characteristics, hence
that such differences are a legitimate basis of invidious distinctions between
groups socially defined as races” Berghe
(1967).
Ethnic
Group is a parallel term for race “which is often socially defined on the basis
of cultural characteristics superimposed on perceived physical traits defined
by the group and/or is defined by other groups as different.... by virtue of
innate... inherited on genetically induced behavioural patterns”. A. H. Coleman-cited in – Krauss (1976) and this
naturally leads us to Dominant and Minority groups – which are the remote and
immediate causes of violence, terrorism and wars.
A
Dominant Group is “one within a national state whose distinctive culture and/or
physiognomy is established as superior in the society and which treats
differentially/unequally other groups in the society with other cultures or
physiognomy “Marden and Meyer (1968), and correspondingly;
A
Minority Group is a “culturally or
physically distinctive and self–conscious social aggregate, with hereditary
membership and a high degree of endogamy, which is subject to political,
economic or social discrimination by a dominant segment of an environing
political society” Williams (1964).
Analytically therefore, the recurrent decimal in all these definitions is
that racists are misguided, self-opinionated and neurotic people who need ego
trips or massage to suppress their feelings of inadequacy, otherwise termed
INFERIORITY COMPLEX.
Ethnology and Ethnography do not support apartheid,
religious bigotry or racism. For want of space and time, there are two
traditions in ethnic relations and socio-anthropological studies, which this
existential author subscribes to (i) the psychosocial orientation, which is
phenomenological, and (ii) the socio-cultural orientation, which is
existential. Both form the contrasting research perspectives that most
scholars patronize. However they should complement each other.
Individuals are born “tabula raza” - a clean slate! It is parents and relevant
others that write on and crowd this slate with parochial traditions! No
child hates another child! Hatred is a learned behaviour! So many films and
dramas portray this. Individual prejudice comes mainly from the
internalization of the prejudicial norms of one’s society. A case in
point is the historical origin of Hitler’s hatred for the Jews. A
mistaken identity and maltreatment in his primary school days when he freely
associated with Jewish children -–was the remote cause of anti-Semitism which
he internationalized, followed by ‘German blood superiority’ he championed
which eventually led to the two world wars he engineered!
The adult populations manufactured Black-white relations in U.S.A. , Indians, Mexicans and
Puerto Ricans segregationist policies, not teenagers nor adolescents! South Africa ’s multiracial society
and apartheid system have been studied as the ultimate in structured inequality
while Hawaii and Brazilas multiracial societies with a
low degree of racism. Why can’t we replicate the latter form of ethnic
relations in all countries of the world? The choice is ours!
YOUTH
DEVELOPMENT:
It is interesting to note
what anthropologists, psychiatrists, sociologists and psychologists have
concluded after varying researches into various aspects of child-rearing
practices all over the world. Collumb and Valatin (1970), French psychiatrists,
concluded thus:
“The social changes attendant on modernization cause far
reaching disturbances in traditional family organization and bring about
alterations in the relationship of the child to the family group. Love
and authority are no longer provided for the child by the communal group of the
whole family but (only) by the biological parents.... Are the parents able to
take on these loving and disciplinary roles alone? Cut off from their
extended family group on all sides, can they overcome their own problems and
fears and make themselves ready to fulfill their new functions? How does
the child experience these changes? Is it already possible to set out
their pathological consequences? It is difficult to say; however, one may
state that the number of maladjusted children, the number of adolescents with
problems is growing considerably, especially in towns. The present
generation will be followed by another which will have the same incidence of
schizophrenia as in West” p. 127
This international Conference in South Africa in 2001 should address those
fundamental questions. What this author offers is only a
palliative/prophylactic recommendation. Before that however – we need to
recall what Erikson (1972) and Kohlberg (1969) posited as the critical stages
of moral development in teenagers and adolescents. These will help us
formulate the cross-cultural harmonization this paper proposes. In his
“EIGHT AGES OF MAN,” Chap. 7 pp. 239-266; Erikson established eight sensitive
developmental patterns that parents, teachers and relevant others must take
advantage of, if children must grow up into mature, respectful and responsible
citizens of the world. Correspondingly, in his “DEVELOPMENT OF MORAL
CHARACTER AND MORAL IDEOLOGY” – a cognitive developmental approach – Lawrence Kohlberg of Harvard University posted six moral stages that
teenagers pass through – namely: pre-moral, instrumental-hedonistic, role
taking, law-and-order, autonomous-principle, and finally the
universal-ethical-principle.
Time and space may
not allow a detailed discussion of these stages. However, let it be known
also that: Bandura & Walters, (1963) have their SOCIAL LEARNING AND
PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH, while Goshin, (1969) has relevant topics in
their HANDBOOK OF SOCIALIZATION THEORY AND RESEARCH; while Hoffman Martin, has
his “Moral Development Theory” cited in Paul. H. Mussen (Ed.)CARMICHAEL ’S
MANUAL OF CHILD PSYCHOLOGY (3rd ed.)
All point to this one fact: That what we give or fail to give growing
children, teenagers or adolescents form the base of all racial discriminations,
hatred, fear and apartheid tendencies. There are no known genetic traits,
or inherited behavioural patterns that warrant racial discrimination. The adult population
manufactured, patented and marketed RACISM. Therefore, it remains their
duty and urgent responsibility to dismantle and obliterate the consequences of
their mischievous and xenophobic creations; apartheid, religious bigotry,
anti-Semitism, Zionism and all other forms of racial inequalities that they
breed!
The creator of the Universe
did not input any racial inequalities in his created universe and beings.
Nor did Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, even mention any scientific basis
for racism. Politicians, warmongers, and demonic rulers who traded in
human beings and monetary values invented racism based on their inferiority
complexes, xenophobic reactions and vainglorious exploits. For how long
must we all suffer for their mischief? The onerous duty of liberated
minds, as exemplified by the participants at this United Nation’s Conference
will come into sharper focus as we deliberate on the therapeutic measures
proposed by this paper.
CROSS-CULTURAL
HARMONISATION
In the light of the foregone scientific references, this psychotherapist has
developed two basic inter-ethnic and inter-racial compositions – spanning a
period of thirty years and has labelled them “THE KENEZIAN CREED” and “THE LETTER TO TEACHERS OF HIS
CHILDREN”. The pair is crucial re-orientation ploys to revolutionize the
religious and educational climates of the world and subsequently ameliorate or
slow down the incidence of/or the increase in racial tensions, religious
fanaticism and ethnic cleansing.
“CROSS-CULTURAL” here is used as an adjective meaning “involving, or containing
ideas or elements from two or more different cultures, while “HARMONIZE” to
make something harmonious e.g. coloursthat harmonize well (i.e.
together produce a pleasing effect) or the cottages harmonize well with the
landscape. In music “harmonization” means to play or sing notes that
accompany the main tune and produce harmony with the lead singer”. Hornby (1995)
pp 279 & 544
From the above the
therapeutic regimen for racialism and other ethnic stressful relationships lies
in the Homo sapiens sapiens accepting
that each culture must harmonize with the lead race; that is, the HUMAN
RACE. If musicians can harmonize with the lead singer why are whites,
blacks and yellows unable to harmonize? Its is due to ignorance, petty
jealousy, morbid fear of strangers and unbridled
self-pride. An attempt
must be made to de-emphasize religion which is the greatest harbinger of
fanatical zeal to discriminate against and dominate others. MISINFORMATION or
DISINFORMATION – also known as propaganda that completes the racial tones
dictated by maniacal leaders, politicians and governments must be halted and
reversed systematically.
The Kenezian Creed sifts the L.C.M and H.C.F. of the human race. Then it
dresses them in philosophic, ethical and scientific language whichharmonises with the main language of nature – WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS, WITH SAME CREATOR, SAME
BLOOD AND PLASMA, SIMILAR ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY and WE INTER-MARRY AND PRODUCE SAME SPECIES. Of what value
are our World Cups, Olympics and Arts Festivals, if at the end of the day we
still discriminate and derogate others based simply on the colour of their skin, or eyes and or the texture of their hairs? Does
emotion and motivation vary among the races of mankind? No, is the
answer! Any man or woman can learn the language of the ethnic groups they
are born into and mingle with, hence, English, French, Swahili, German and some
other languages have gained international appeal and usage. In the like
manner, lets amplify those areas of cognition, memory and recall that unify the
races rather than propagate those minor differences that separate and antagonise us.
In education, any child irrespective of skin colour, genetic endowment and
child rearing practices can become a genius in nuclear physics, computer
science, acrobatics and, music. There has never been, nor will there ever be a
scientific proof of the superiority of one race to another. These
xenophobic rationalizations are ego defense mechanisms that emanate from
depraved and demented minds and must not be allowed to drag us to another world
war. A word is enough for the wise. The systematic incorporation of
the tenets of the following compositions into primary school/educational
curricula will eradicate racism worldwide:
THE KENEZIAN CREED
Nuggets of Wisdom for the Unification
of all Belief Systems.
1.
I am of age; therefore, I affirm that I exist! I am “ME”, you are “YOU”
and we are “US”. I affirm that I am a Created Being living in the present,
hoping to come to an end as other creatures I have observed, do come to a
definitive end.
2.
I therefore know that all finite creatures obey some natural laws that govern
existence. I affirm that these laws are also eternal and like every other
law, must have a Giver. I deduce therefore that there are commensurate
sanctions for any deliberate violation of these laws.
3.
When I observe the heavens and landscapes, hills and valleys, rivers and
oceans, sunrise and sunset, equinoxes and eclipses, I am certain that this
Eternal Law-giver is Great and Powerful in all respects and possesses
Superhuman Intelligence, Power and Control over all of us?
4.
When I inspect living and non-living beings, their beauty and variety, their
numbers and their sizes, especially their modes of survival in varying
environments, and particularly their ability to reproduce their kinds, I
confess that this Eternal Law-giver must be Beautiful, Loving and All-Creative.
5.
I respect “IT” in all “ITS” creations while admiring in particular those that
move about. For I do realise that I share the traits they have; we all have the same basic structures,
we survive by performing similar functions, have similar feelings and produce
comparable results. I cannot but bow in reverence and worship this Almighty
Being, the Eternal Law-Giver who sustains everything on this planet.
6.
This Almighty Being set all things in motion. “IT” directs their courses and
life spans, keeps them in space and time, now and always. And because
there are no accidents in nature when “IT’S” laws are strictly adhered to, I
attest to the fact that “IT” is the greatest GOOD; All-knowing, All-caring and
Ever Present Being.
7.
To “IT” be all my respect, obedience and loyalty, as I extend my hands of love
and brotherhood to all Human Beings, co-heirs and offspring of this Almighty
Creator and Father of all. Therefore, my creed concisely is this: (a) THE
UNIVERSE IS MY COUNTRY AND INHERITANCE, (b) ALL MANKIND, MY BLOOD RELATIVES AND
EQUALS, (c) SEEKING THE TRUTH, LIVING THE TRUTH AND DOING GOOD AT LL TIMES – MY
RELIGION.

DR KENEZ DANMBAEZUE’S PLEAS TO
TEACHERS OF HIS CHILDREN
*(Each paragraph/plea can be used as
the theme of Morning Assembly Talks)
Dear Teacher,
Your job is an onerous one, commendable by both God
and man,
My child will look up to you as a role model, a mirror
to view the world;
You will have to father him for 5 hours a day, 5 days
a week and 35 weeks per year,
That’s long enough to make or mar his future, his
classmates and that of this country.
1.Teach him to look around and admire the beauty in
nature, himself inclusive,
Let him know that for every child he sees, there are
two parents – a father and a mother;
So for the birds he sees, trees, animals, hills,
rivers, sun, daylight, night and moonlight,
There is but One Almighty Father, who created and
takes care of us all on a daily basis.
2.Teach him to trust and obey The Almighty Creator
with worship in humility,
And to love every other being, as we all are sons and
daughters of the same Creator;
Let him realise that when it rains, it’s for every
one: plants, animals and man,
The Creator’s kindness and benevolence does not choose
those to hate or love.
3.Teach him that for every lie he tells, he will tell
ten more lies to cover it up,
And for ten lies, he needs one hundred more lies –
that is foolishness;
So let him learn that truth is golden, more precious
than wealth and riches,
Knowledge, wisdom and fame are the rewards earned by
truthful people.
4.In school, let him love and respect his classmates
and fight to protect the weaker ones,
Allow him to taste bitter and sweet things; and to
combine laughter and suffering;
That way you will have prepared him to deal with
wicked and honest human beings,
Thereby teaching him to differentiate good from evil
and to do good all his life.
5.Teach him that lying, cheating and stealing produce
criminals and rogues,
Teach him that a kobo earned is better than a hundred
won by lottery;
It’s better to go hungry than enjoy a meal prepared
with stolen money,
Or eat crumbs of bread among finest friends than a
whole loaf among dishonest men.
6.Teach him that a passage studied, understood and
memorised,
Is far better than one simply crammed and repeated
like a parrot;
The former leads to ingenuity, resourcefulness and
creativity,
The latter to imitative behaviour, and lack of
self-confidence;
Teach him that it’s more honourable to fail an
examination,
Than to copy, cheat or use “expo” methods to pass any
examination.
7.Finally teach him that it is better to be neither
too poor nor too rich,
Than to become wealthy by stealing, deceit and cutting
corners;
The former leads to contentment, peace of mind and
long life,
The latter to arrogance, greed, restlessness and
sudden death;
Explain to him what “Honesty is the best policy”
really means,
And the practical implications of the saying: “More
haste, less speed”.
Postscript: You’ll have to believe and practise these
yourself,
Before you can teach them to my son
and his mates;
But be assured that if you succeed
in this assignment,
You will be a hero and the father of
heroes and heroines;
And that’s what our dear country
needs most.
May God guide your endeavours!

RESUME,
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The etiological origin of racism is ethnocentric megalomania best exemplified
by Adolf Hitler’s xenophobic ideas. “Xenophobia” as defined by Drever
(1972) is “a morbid fear of strangers”, and Hornby (1995) concerns by defining
it as “an intense dislike or fear of strangers or people from other
countries”... “excessive patriotism can lead to xenophobia” – he concluded p.
1385.
“Racism or racialism” van den Berghe (1967) affirms, “are beliefs (not facts)
that organic genetically transmitted differences (real or imagined) exist
between social groups” which he concluded were false. There has never
been any existential or scientific proof that a Caucasian is superior to
Negroid or Mongoloid specie of the human race. Racism is puerile and
futile!
Professor M. Nesturkh, a Russian anthropologist has a 133-page hardbound book,
with over 100 black and white and coloured pictures - entitled THE RACES OF MANKIND. In the preface,
Professor N. N. Cheboksarov, a Doctor of History, and a Miklukho-Maklai Prize
Winner, opens up thus:
“The
problem of the races of mankind is one of the most important in anthropology,
the science that studies the natural history of man with all the variations due
to age, sex, and geographical factors. The races of mankind are, in
actual fact, geographical (or territorial) variations, historically
conditioned, of a single physical type-MAN.
“The writings of the founders of Marxism-Leninism contain many valuable
statements on such problems as the connection between the origin of races and
the natural geographical conditions of life of primitive man; the distant
ancestors of the present–day peoples, the gradual obliteration of racial
differences in the course of historical development, the racial mixtures that
make up modern nations and the absolute invalidity of racism.
“A correct conception of the races of mankind is of particularly great
political and scientific importance today, in the period of the collapse of the
colonial system and the unparalleled development of the struggle for national
liberation by the dependent and colonial peoples. The ideologists of
imperialism, in their effort to provide a basis for class, national and
colonial oppression, have advanced the false “theory” of the physical and
mental inequality of races, or the existence of “higher” and “lower” races, of
races that are capable and those that are incapable of independent, social,
economic and cultural development.
“Racism is closely bound up with reactionary nationalism and chauvinism.
The Programme of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, adopted by the
Twenty-Second Party Congress, lays special stress on the fact that
nationalistic prejudice and the survivals of former national discord constitute
the sphere in which resistance to social progress may be the longest, fiercest,
most stubborn and most implacable. The
misanthropic inventions of the racists stand in direct contradiction to the
data provided by anthropology”. Pp 5 & 6
All scientists agree with the learned Russian Professor and
PrizeWinner! Moreover, Professor M. Nesturukh, himself concludes his
introduction to the book thus:
“The
author realises the difficulties attaching to the task he has undertaken and will be
satisfied if his readers obtain from his book a general idea of the concept of
races and their origin and a conviction of the unscientific nature of
racism”. P. 10.
It is the conclusions of this paper that only intellectual pygmies and
anthropological misfits can, and do propagate racism in ethnic or religious
relations. But for the fact that this is a scientific paper, passages in
the Torah, Bible, Koran and the Bhagavad-Gita would have been used to
substantiate the stupidity of racialism and the demonic possession of all
racists. They are all adenescents!
Suffice it to recommend the following:
i. That all racists be subjected to a
psychiatric evaluation. It is possible that they have congenital deficiencies
that warrant their schizophrenia fantasies.
ii. That participants at this
conference devise means and modalities for appealing to religious leaders of
all shades, coloursand faith to repudiate
discriminatory sermons, doctrines or catechesis in their religious worship.
iii. That all film makers and drama
writers expunge sentences or scenes depicting superiority or inferiority in all
their products. On the other hand they must encourage scriptwriters to
douse the embers of hatred, violence and ethnic jealousies in their productions
e.g. GUESS, WHO’S COMING TO DINNER.
iv. That musicians review their lyrics
and emulate the consortium of international stars that gave us the famous song:
WE ARE THE WORLD. In like manner, let all intelligent people all over the
world stand up to be counted among music lovers who appreciate that orchestras
and choirs need soprano, alto, tenor and bass to harmonise the lead instrument or singer. So also should white, black and
yellow races blend or harmonize the leading HUMAN RACE.
v. All newly established families must
make conscious efforts to give their offspring a better deal or lease of life
rather than feed them the same nepotic ideas or prejudices their own parents
condemned to feed on during their growing years
vi. Re-education in all nursery,
kindergarten and primary schools, must eliminate segregation based on skin
colour, class or creed. Each stanza or paragraph of the Kenezian Letter
to all Liberated Educationist can be used to conduct morning assemblies.
vii. National constitutions should
incorporate sections that make it a crime to discriminate against any citizen,
guest or stranger in one’s native land. Moreover, national prizes may be
awarded to those adjudged to have demonstrated the tenets of the Kenezian Creed
practically in their daily living.

THIS
CONFERENCE PAPER RECEIVED A STANDING OVATION BUT TO DATE NO ONE HAS IMPLEMENTED
A SENTENCE FROM IT AT ANY OF THE UNITED NATIONS ASSEMBLIES HELD ANNUALLY SINCE
THEN. WHY? IT WAS NOT WRITTEN BY A WHITE MAN! THIS REALLY PROVES THAT THE WORLD
HAS ACTUALLY REFUSED TO REPENT OR SHED APARTHEID, RACISM AND ETHNOCENTRISM,
WHICH PROVES WE ARE NOT YET READY FOR A GLOBAL PEACE!
OUR GLOBAL I.S.M. IS
POISED, PREPARED, DETERMINED AND READY TO CHANGE ALL THAT! DOES ANYONE CARE TO
JOIN US MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!
