If blacks were like pets, then whites the world over would adore them

FROM the perspective of a black person, generally, white people appear to be great animal lovers.

On TV documentaries and other visual platforms that show wildlife, black people can see white people showing extraordinary care for animals. Then, of course, to the horror of many conservative black people, white people can keep snakes and wild cats or reptiles as pets because they are the greatest lovers of animals.

And white women, in particular, seem to have a deep affection for “vulnerable” animals as they often volunteer in animal shelters and become vets or animal doctors.

Certainly, we have seen that whenever there is a protest about the environment and animal rights, usually few black people show up.

So we can conclude that white people care for animals in a way that seems greater than in the case of other races, especially Africans.

But is it love or the love of the power over animals? Let us not forget that the animals cannot protest or demand equality from their master. I’d like to think that the so-called love of animals is the ability to do whatever one wishes with the animals of God.

The same people who claim to love animals usually cannot love a fellow human being, only because of their different skin pigmentation.

But I suppose that if black people were to humble themselves and be obedient like “pets” to their white

counterparts, then they would be adored by white people the world over.

The truth of the matter is that no one can love any animal if they don’t love as themselves another human being who looks different in appearance. However, many white people do care for the environment and animals and also love their fellow humans as they adore themselves and that is good and adorable.
