..consider the
racial implications. Before you kill my queen, perhaps you should
contemplate just what you're about to do. Are you taking her out simply because she is
white? Is that what it is, do you get some sort of thrill out of killing all the pieces of
this game that is my life right now simply because you think your blackness makes you
superior? Well, let me tell you, I don't think it's right. You've destroyed half of the key
participants, I can't even recover now.. and you just
line their bodies alongside the board, discarding them
as if you couldn't care less. I saw the smile of satisfaction on your face as you killed them all, that
smug grin.
Chess is a very
racist game.
Black vs. White, White *always* goes
first, both are against eachother strategically destroying the opposition. Why, I ask, are the pieces generally black and white?
Why doesn't black go first? And why, oh why did my white queen die for her people whilst your
black queen was made out to look like this amazing figure of
supreme royalty? I crave a chess world where
all pieces are equal and live in
harmony.
Why can't my pawns play with your pawns? Why can't my rook move onto the same space as yours? And why, please tell me, why do you seem so
intent on destroying that which I've worked so hard to preserve?
I desire unity.. and so, I propose this..
Instead of trying to systematically
destroy pieces that are a different colour than your own, simply pick the opponents piece up and
kiss it tenderly. Place it next to one of your pawns, or better yet, let it visit with your queen without
fear of being slaughtered unnecessarily. Consider letting your king and queen
swing with the other king and queen! You don't always have to win, it's alright to remain
neutral. Instead of becoming frustrated over an unfair, racially biased game of chess, put your pieces into a little
doll house and create relationships between the two different groups.
It's okay to do this, it really, really is.
Actually.. I don't think this way at all, but I do wonder if any
PC freak has ever noted these possible racial discrepancies. If they haven't, I think it will happen one day. That will also be the day that I become a
happy recluse.
