racsm.. is todays hot topic....
how racist are you... but the funny thing is that racist, by no means an ordinary word, is what we all are...
Racism is judgement - passing judgement, making comments, discrimination against another person, purely because you may not understand them, think they are weird, do not agree with their customs...
yes we are all racist, we all use derrogatory words to descibe another person, race/colour - it may be through no fault of our own - its is what we have learnt growing up. - but it does not make it any more right or less wrong..
As a race, we are each goverened by how society percieves another individual as either being acceptable or not. We pass judgement based on how the other person conforms to this ideal. if it is foreign, then its is weird, it is backward, it is undignified...
what we dont understand we dismiss as unprogressive, we oppose and we seek conformity...
but look! life is not like that.. there is me, you, us and we, we can all be the same yet very different, each with distinct characteristics, we multiply, we form communities and develop a culture..
We should learn to understand where other people are coming from, not seek conformity but understand and TOLERATE.... what gives anyone the right to think that they are more superior than another... what is it.. Is is EGO, arrogance, Selfishness, POWER?
what gives anyone thie right to think their culture is the best, ?
The human mind is only concerned with I, I think, I know, therefore I say it should be this way... Selfishness....
how do they know that IT IS the best?
They cant know, because they only see their culture through the window of their judgement... They obeserve through the comfort that it allows them and then they decide with this same yardstick, to measure another culture...
Yes i agree, one is able to get on with another person without having to respect their point of view.. It is tolerance..
