I was just reading a blog about racism and one line stood out far above the rest."Our souls don't have color." No they don't, but unfortunately it's our minds and our hearts that dictate the way we treat people. Hate is not born, it is bred. Racism seeps from the swamp of ignorance and lack of education. Teaching our children to stand up and be heard, to defend even a stranger because it is the right thing to do. That is the path to equality.
How many people have sat at a table with a group of people and someone tells a racist "joke?"
How many of us have laughed along just to fit in while thinking that it is wrong to do so?
The day that you are the person that stands in defence of equality in all ways, in all situations,
no matter the cost to you,
THEN you can truly say, "I am not a racist"
