► When we stop putting people in boxes
STOP
LABELLING PEOPLE.
"Gender, race, sexual
orientation, colour, religious persuasion..."
ANY
"minority group" labels are messed-up.
Ignore them.
Labels
create division creates conflict create hate.
Please.
Stop.
► Racism Destroyed in One Minute
The woman in the video is anti-racism educator Jane Elliot.
► "I Am NOT
Black, You are NOT White."
Children are not born with concepts of racism (or any -ism) - it's taught! And that's tragic.
It is the ADULTS who continually instill labels/negativity/division/anger/hate/conflict...
"No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion".
► "The Great Dictator" (Charlie Chaplin) 1940 - true as now as it was then.
Since 9/11, 2 Australians have been killed here in Oz due to terrorism; our governments have spent over $33Billion on counter-terrorism measures in Oz; over 25,000 Australians have committed suicide; domestic violence has killed over 1000 Australians; Australians have murdered around 3000 fellow citizens; car accidents have killed around 10000 Australians; AND since 9/11 over 200 Australians have been killed by falling off chairs...
So let's keep perspective and take the wall-to-wall media spin and cliches being spoken by our politicians as exaggerations and lies, for that is what they are.
I love it when I can find
someone else,
who can express much more clearly than I would be able to, what's been
floating around in my head.
