Theos-Talk Archives (January 2005 Message tt00968)

Hi triple seven
I agree with you, but unfortunately, in some countries, racism is still related to race, probably through cultural guilt. Theosophy also talks about Aboriginals and some native tribes, in what today would be regarded in racist terms, although HPB simply meant it as our younger brothers.

What exactly is wrong with the term race?
Do races not exists?
Or if they exists, propagates Theosophy the 
destruction of the races and replace them by a 
Illuminati world republic?
Does Theosophy support race mixture?
Does Theosophy support peoples and culture death 
thru multi-culti by forcing emigration?
Shall all national spirits be destroyed?
And what has the first aim Brotherhood to do with 
it?
Is it brotherly to destroy each race and it's own 
culture?
Or is it more brotherly to replace it by foreign 
rule?
Does HPB support foreign rule?
Will there be peace when all nations are 
destroyed?

Lavanda,

I think the term race is racist nowadays and 
theosophy has to be
adapted to our present time.
