So you are saving the others from bodies such as me. You are a Savior.
I get to be the 'bad' guy in your 'reality' with no salvation available. I am
correct in this - you said I am beyond saving.
You created a part for me as the 'devil', so I 'play' the part - a theatre
performance to one.

OK - why would I be orange and pink, with blue shadows? Because my 'sight' or
'perception' sees those colors when looking at my skin. Seeing 'white' is
clouded vision (cultural conditioning perhaps). Even using 'flesh' color from
the crayola box is clouded. If you look at the spectrum of 'white' people,
they vary tremendously in color hue, saturation, and contrast. What exactly are
you saying when you say middle class white people? Are you talking about an
italian, irish, jew, russian, other ethic type? Or perhaps you really are
referring to a mindset - naive, ignorant, blaise, etc? Or some characteristic
behavior that we are supposed to assume all middle class white people engage
in?

Again, you present yourself as an authority without basis. You are a Baptist
