Actually it isn't never ending at all. Dr. John H. Clarke has done intensive study on this subject and actually has a video on youtube entitled: The Role of The Bastard Child In History. In his lecture he speaks to the confusion of the bastard child in terms of them not knowing where their alliegience and loyalty lies...and of how the bastard child has always been used against the interest of Afrakan peoples when we have viewed them as one of our own even though they did not regard themselves as such.
Dr. Ivan Van Sertima also speaks to this in the context that "although race is a misnomer as we see it, the world does not judge you based upon the unseen or one's genotype...we are all judged based upon our phenotype or outward physicality".
So I say this to say that, we can be stupid if we want to in terms of thinking that we can raise our children to be color blind if we want to....but go anywhere in the world and shout out "That niiiiggger just snatched my purse" and see if they stop a white man, an oriental, an Arab or a black man". Only then will we understand that Color Matters Greatly and to teach our children anything outside of that is a recipe for disaster!
Mr Clarke, in spite of his popular lectures, reveals he was just another flawed human being:
That is, however intelligent he also might've been, the very use of the word 'bastard', to label anybody's kinfolk- let alone any of ours-as less worthy of our respect., unfortunately reveals he wasn't always a very wise individual....
