LIVING COLORS

We have usually say that we are not racist and we are against racism. but have u ever have a deep thought that no matter how much u fight for and stand for deep inside you the sub-concious area the racism virus is in there. No matter how many different racial friends you have at the end of the day there is surely a thin wall dividing you and the other races. Its the simple fact, its a fact that wont run away. I myself seen and heard from many racial abuse that can really be sickening. I just cant understand why cant we stand together as human beings rather than as white, black, yellow, brown or wut ever color u wanna call your race... It is just the different lifestyles and culture that makes us have that certain idealogy. I am not gonna give any examples as it will end up to be extremely sensitive and just plain pain to the ears and mind. The idea of racism starts off usually at home. Kids are thought by their parents the difference of race, they didnt exactly teach them directly but indirectly, they might not know it but the remarks they make and the attitude they reacted to other race is just a stepping stone to the racism mind. When this remarks reaches some really zealous fanatic child's ear he or she will start spreading the hate among friends. Racism also starts when the respect among races starts to thin. Causing displeasure among races. Why cant we just sit down and respect each other be it race or religion and live together as human beings. What are we doing to the nation and our kids? See now u all are making me repeat myself!

Try watching this movie called Crash starring Sandra Bullock, Brendan Fraser, Matt Dillon and Ludacris. Its about several characters of different racial backgrounds collide in one incident, The different stereotypes society has created for those backgrounds affect their judgment, beliefs and actions, This in turn causes problems for each of them.

Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.-

"
It's just black people demeaning other black people, using that word over and over. You ever hear white people callin' each other "honky" all the time? "Hey, honky, how's work?" "Not bad, cracker, we're diversifying!" " -Crash-

"
Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason."
-Abraham J. Heschel-
