To find out who started the racist concept in the world, all you have to do 
is to read the Old Testament.

That's the source of all racial prejudice and racism..

I think it's funny that Jewish people cry out racial injustice while they 
have been living in it with that Book of theirs for as longest as in 
history, as shown phrase by phrase.

This is the most amazing hidden hypocrisy of the modern world.

Genocide is one thing and the racism is another, they do not go along 
together nor do they define the same.

Let's get rid of the root of the racism in the world, so that people can 
live peacefully together.

The only way to do it is to expose them to the bright light. Make it subject 
to the open discussion.

For the truth of history, Japanese are a group of islanders conquered and 
unified by Backje who are one of the ancient Korean tribes defeated and 
ousted from the peninsula out of the internal struggle by Shilla.
