For the sociologists and anthropologists: Please enlighten us
What human characteristics lead us to Racism?
Jealousy?
Need to dominate?
Superiority complex?
Other?
Can Racism ever be eliminated?
Does Racism arise as soon as we define ourselves as 'Other' - ethnic/ religious/ geographical/ physical characteristics?
Does this automatically create an 'Us' and 'Them'?
Is this unavoidable?
This is a difficult discussion, but a necessary one. It runs deep for all of us.
Can we reach clarity with intellectual discourse?
Our failure to reach common ground affects generations. If we cannot do it in a forum like this, then what hope do we have?
Maybe the question of Racism is more about Tolerance towards each other?
How do we better live with each other?
How do we share space, without denigrating and oppressing each other?
Talking out against Racism , prejudice, bullying, oppression:
It is important that Moderate voices are heard. As difficult as it may be.
Because when we don't speak up, then the Radicals move into that space...
Just a single voice is enough to moderate the tone of a discourse.
Let us join and make this world a better place. Let our voices be heard
We owe it to our ancestors and to our children. Let us respect the suffering of our parents' generations and our future generations.
As slow and painful as it is. Let us have the courage to change our societies for the better.
Give our souls a chance to heal
WE make the difference
Let us start today...
