The Grays...

So back to the aliens...  

No, silly, not those aliens, the other ones...

We were talking about aliens, weren't we?  You know, those little "Gray" people?  The ones folks keep reporting as having seen so many times over the years?  Over the millennia?  Those guys?  The Grays?

Well anyway, back to the aliens.  I have it on good authority that they are sick and tired of being referred to as "The Grays," and I don't blame them.  It's a racial epithet and it should be removed from our lexicon! They consider the term demeaning and wish to be known by more socially-acceptable terminology.  I mean, you don't want to piss them off, they might riot!  And we surely do not want that!  I'm suggesting "Little People" as a much nicer name.  I mean, they average only about 4 feet in height, so that term would fit nicely.    

Of course, the Leprechaun Lobby would object, but somebody's ox always gotta' get gored, right people?  "For every action," and all that...

Anyway, our intergalactic alien friends are wondering exactly when we'll decide to stop slicing and dicing our society into various little races and colors and ethnicities and sub-groups?  I mean, it's divisive and accomplishes nothing except fomenting ever more disharmony between our various peoples.  And in the case of our famously scarce friends from "up there," they absolutely abhor it!  So much so, I hear, that they don't intend to show themselves, to land on the White House lawn, so to speak, unless or until we get our collective act together.  

Face it people!  We're just going to have to stop thinking of each other in terms of our color first.  I know there's one political Party that will dig in its feet here, but I'm pretty sure the other one will go along with this plan happily.  And maybe then we'll be able to convince those "other" guys, the ones who see race first, the ones to whom melatonin is the single most element on the "societal table," to finally see the light.

So, if you want to know the secret about those "Grays" and those flying saucers, you're just going to have to stop being a Democrat, or start being colorblind, or both...
