I watched Sarah Polley’s film Take This Waltz with Addie and Angela a while ago. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but at that time, it just struck all my chords, especially this quote from Sarah Silverman’s character.

“A person of color may have race prejudice, but until most of Congress, state, provincial, and local governments, the Pentagon, the FBI, CIA, all major industries, the Stock Exchange, Fortune 500 members, the educational system, health care system, the International Monetary Fund, the armed forces, and the police force are all operated and controlled by people of color and their cultural values, we do not have the kind of power that it takes to be racist toward anyone. Similarly, ‘reverse racism,’ within the context of present society, is a contradiction in terms.” —

Possibly the coolest animal out, the Muriqui, otherwise known as the woolly spider monkey, is “an unusually peaceful primate: Instead of fighting over females, the male wooly spider monkeys patiently wait to mate, allowing females to choose partners without the violence other female primates risk.” The males also spend heaps of time with each other without getting antsy and aggressive over feeling the need to prove who is alpha. Annnd they are also polygamous. How cool.
