     Depends on how far back you might be going. 
Agricultural societies were the centers of
'land-gainers', such as the early city-states in the
Tigris-Euphrates rivers region.  These city-states
expanded into civilizations.  They probably had good
magic in their eyes.  Not sure where you came to this
conclusion, or maybe you could expand on this.

     Ok, but I'm not sure what you're saying here.  I
do see racial discrimination as being a clogged in the
flow.  Once people are distracted by these things,
such as racial discrimination, thus, caught-up in skin
color, this would keep their mind focused on color of
skin instead of how wonderful the warm spring wind
feels after a chilly night, which the latter clears
the mind, opens the mind to a lovely day - and thus,
an attitude that is open, ready, and willing to live
and help others even if it is with a simple smile.

oh, these tiny purple flowers in the grass
     clearly it takes time to see you,
caught up in problems throughout the day,
     do I have time to notice you?
