Just Be Thoughtful
May 30, 2020 | Blog
I have been in disbelief and saddened by what I have seen and heard.
I do see that racism and discrimination is real and does exist. I have seen people be mean to others and be intimidated by others because of the way they look and for who they were as an individual.
At some point, everyone has been stereotyped, an assumption has been made about them, and/or labeled.
We are all human beings. May it be your race, ethnicity, nationality, culture, the color of your skin, hair, body size, occupation, life style choice, your native language, your accent, where you live, if you are educated, the list goes on.
Why see these things as differences, when they are all pieces of the beautiful collage of life.
Racism and discrimination may look and come in many forms, situations and statements and can be verbal and/or non-verbal. Everyone should be able to express themselves without fear or despair.
We all must concentrate on the good of all humankind, the human race, no matter our skin color, ethnicity, or beliefs. We all need to be kinder and nicer. Just be thoughtful.
