RE: Racism... Have you ever tried simply not referencing race?
I am in total agreement with this. You will get a number of arguments along the lines of "But there are other races, we just have to accept one another's differences". I don't agree with that logic, because now you're not just using 'race' you're using 'differences'. I think these bodies are like costumes. Yeah, there are different shapes, sizes, and colors, but they hold a spirit that has no race.
Yeah bigotry (of which racism is just one type).
You can't fight bigotry with bigotry.
You can't fight racism with racism.
That is simply hypocrisy.
Dr. Martin Luther King had a great quote that apparently MANY people do not understand. It is beautiful and puts it very eloquently.
Yes, this. Well said. I'm afraid that many people do not have the level of empathy it takes to evolve to the next level...yet. I'm encouraged after joining steemit though, to find a number of like-minded individuals.
