A quick thought as I am just about to log off but for me we are not all the same as many would have us believe but rather we are all different and no two of us are the same. The words racism and discrimination go hand in hand these days but when thinking about the true meaning of the word discrimination it is in no way a negative as society would have us believe also but instead it is the means by which we are able to identify these differences! Is it really so bad to identify the things that make us different? I have no time for a world in which we are all lumped into one homogenous group.
I like different! :)
There is beauty in the variation but using it as a mechanism of control rather than empowerment is where part if the problem lays.
We discriminate each day through our various preferences. Does a red shirt feel bad because I think I look better in blue?
You might loom great in red though so why can't I have my preference and appreciate red for what it is and let it have the space it needs so you can have your preference too.
You protect my rights, I protect your rights. It also means if I harm you, I am also harming me.
