Racism: Part II / We looked at it, now lets do something about it.

Tweet

Yesterday I posted on the topic of racism and wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of the people that responded and hope that they will continue to provide their insight on the subject. What I learned yesterday was that while only 26 people responded the general consensus was that many of us believe that there is a little bit of racist in all of us. The question now then becomes, What can we as individuals do to change that ? I am not talking about trying to change the world. Just suggesting that perhaps if we change what we as individuals do, act and think towards another race. Then I must regress and say that in a small way we have changed the world. My addition to what we can do is to SPEAK UP. It does not have to be on a grand scale. Many of us have had conversations with friends that have turned to racism and making derogatory remarks. How different would that conversation be if we were to say. Wait a minute I won't listen to this, I will judge people on the person that they are and not the color of their skin or the country that they come from.
