Together, I feel we can do a lot of things. I feel if we could come together as one, or as groups who want to do good, we can change the world. I feel that all people could work together and be something great.
We could see what we all have in common to bring us more together. I feel like it’s not a lot of actual racism, but a lot of racially biased people. People believe they are better than a race because the color of their skin, the amount of money they have, their looks, etc… I don’t believe that is correct.
You/we all should see each other as equal – not a statistic, hoodlum, low-class, non-mannered, no job-having, dead-beat individuals. There’s way too much “race wars”, thinking one race is superior to another. That isn’t correct.
If we live that way forever, we will never know how to come together and be together as one. Basically work in unison. And I don’t understand why we can’t all be judged on character and not skin color, race, social class, money, etc.
Another factor is people bring down, or disrespect on people’s religion. Me personally, I don’t believe in being about any religion, but I respect and understand people’s religious thoughts and beliefs.
People put you down or shut you out of the circle if you don’t like or believe in what they believe in. I don’t like how if people don’t believe in God, they are cursed out and not respected like a person who devotes his life to Jesus.
Some things that would work for me are pretty simple. I can live and develop in most environments you put me in. I believe some people have problems because of the way they were raised and the way they grew up and saw the way people were treated.
So they believe they can do better isolated or they can live with being disrespectful and rude to people they come in contact with. With a lot of work, we can learn how to respect and live with different races, genders, religions, backgrounds, and all.
But that has more to do with faith and individuals putting their pride aside, and all come together as one and make the world a better place for everyone.
If we STOP worrying about the color of people’s skin, social class, how many Gods they believe in, how much money they make, and START worrying about each other’s health and attitude, we can be some inspirers instead of putting one another down.
