Rabbi Emmanuel Rabinovich at a seance

african negroidIt is dangerous to mention the Negroid racial category. It must be made clear that the breakup of a relationship was possibly rooted in a reckless but positive discussion of members of this race at an Ethiopian restaurant last Saturday night.

As has already been said, Negroid is a racial category – one of the three “great races” – divided again into subtypes by the Caucasoid and the Mongoloid races. Populations included in the category in the 19th century and early 20th century were the black people of sub-Saharan Africa, the Australian Aboriginals, the Melanesian and Negrito. During the 1950s, the Australian Aborigines, the Negritos, and the Melanesians, as well as the Papuans (the inhabitants of New Guinea) were referred to as the Australoid race.

The concept originated with the typological method of racial classification and is still used by many anthropologists, especially physical anthropologists working in the forensic field of craniofacial anthropometry.

Thanks for all the convoluted Wikipedia content on the Negroid but what about Caucasians? Can we talk about them at McDonald’s? Will talk of this race possibly break up a relationship?

Skin Stripped from this Caucassian in order to avoid offending those of a darker skin tone!

Blumenbach_beautiful_Georgian_skullIn scientific racism, the term Caucasian race (or Caucasoid, sometimes also Europid, or Europoid) has been used to denote the general physical type of some or all of the indigenous human populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia.

In common use in American English, the term “Caucasian” (rarely supplemented with “race”) is sometimes restricted to Europeans and other lighter-skinned populations within these areas, and may be considered equivalent to the varying definitions of white people. The term continues to be widely used in many scientific and general contexts, usually with its more restricted sense of “white”, specifically White American in a US context.

What does that have to do with Rabbi Rabinovich attending a seance?

seance circleRabbi Rabinovich is an authentic fictitious character created by anti-semites, Even so, it is very rare for a Rabbi to attend a seance.

The seance involved a meeting of people who gathered to listen to a spirit medium discourse with and relay messages from the spirit of a dead relationship. Rabbi Rabinovich is always interested in helping couple get together even when they don’t want to. A little known fact about relationships is that they often break up. Sometimes the break up is mutually decided upon. Other times the break up is initiated by one of the partners usually under false pretenses to supposedly cushion the blow to the other party. Often the person who initiates the break up will do so because they have no real interest in being in a long term relationship and find a “reason” to break up to assuage their conscience.

Mud happens. Rabbi Rabinovich is as fictional as this relationship was.

There are more members of the Negroid racial category in the National Basketball Association. That is verifiable. It is not fiction.

Just a little joke before I end: A young blind boy is being tucked into bed by his mother. The mom says “Now Billy, pray really hard tonight and tomorrow, your wish will come true!”. Billy says, “Ok mommy.” and goes to sleep. The next morning, Billy wakes up and screams “MOMMY! I’m still blind, my wish didn’t come true!“, the mom answered, “I know – April Fools!

Rose Rabbinovich had no comment.

I still haven’t found what I’m writing for

We have spoken of mud and in an upcoming post we shall be addressing racial categories. At this time the writing involves reporting on these things.

We will speak about the National Basketball Association and the secret white supremacists of Belleville. What a great time to be alive.

Sitting alone or with friends, one cannot deny that thirst to express. The expression of writing. That is what we are writing about. Mud.

Here is a link to Aish HaTorah and one to the Seventh Day Adventists. Check these sites out. They are fab!

By the way, a Seventh Day Adventist named Kelly told me about how cruel God was to those that do not follow his orders. She described Hell in graphic detail. I was 5 years old. It was cool because it happened according to God’s will. I am still freaked out about it 45 years later!

This post may be difficult to understand but if you allow yourself to be comfortable and relaxed you will easily comprehend it. The story is in my fingertips and your eye and mental energy are huddling down to understand the message. You are already doing a beautiful job. You are in a state of ease, like Mexico after lunch.

The cause of war, thankfully God is funny

The first thing to “get” is the level of satisfaction that you can have from just being with yourself as you watch Duck Soup by the Marx Brothers. The war is on due to a verbal misunderstanding and ego. Thank God it is funny.

A sock lost is a sock gained

The second thing to “get” is that the sock you mysteriously lose in the laundry is not actually a sock lost but rather a sock gained. This may sound odd at first since we are trained to see it as a missing sock, our entire sock collection minus 1 left foot sock or 1 right foot sock. But I am proposing that we are actually gaining one half of a pair of socks and thinking that we are missing its match and that therefore we are in a state of loss. Since we tend to be superstitions about missing socks we may as well entertain the idea that we are mysteriously gaining 1 sock that happens to be missing its mate.

This is not so difficult a concept really but some have responded with bewilderment. So I try and find new ways of explaining it.

A friend of mine, who “got” it right away, suggested a way that this point of view could lead to world peace and the spread of human rights. I think this is doable (perhaps through a facebook group – that always changes the world) but the level of attention and prerequisite knowledge is beyond the scope of this blog post.

Is it enough to say he is handsome?

Let us assume that Rabbi Rabinovich is a handsome man and let us assume that Rose Rabbinovich is enamored of the Rabbi. Is it enough to tell the Rabbi that he is handsome? Is there a chance for Rose to have a relationship with the Rabbi?

Too bad that Attila the Hun didn’t develop a sense of gratitude

Attila the Hun and gratitudeIt is well known that people who are more grateful experience higher levels of well-being. Grateful people are happier, less stressed, and more content with their lives and social relationships. People who maintain a sense of gratitude also have higher levels of control in their lives, as well as sustained personal growth, and acceptance of their self. They have positive methods of coping with the challenges that arise, being more likely to accept support from others, able to re-frame situations and grow from the difficulty, and give more time to planning how to deal with it. Grateful people are also less prone to using negative coping strategies, including avoidance and denial, self blame, or using substances. Grateful people sleep well, and this is because they are less inclined to think in negative terms. They will experience more positivity in their thoughts in the moments before going to sleep.

Healthy emotions and character traits are important to wellness, although it is probable that gratitude may be of unique importance. Studies show that people who have more gratitude cope better with life transitions. People who are more grateful are less stressed, less depressed, and more satisfied with their relationships. Gratitude may have a unique relationship with well-being, and can explain aspects of well-being that other personality traits cannot.

It is probable that had Stalin, Hitler or other historical goons had a sense of gratitude there would be less suffering in this sorry world.
