we are all one

by dasrah @ 2006-06-20 – 01:19:37

after watching the world cup with some friends and family i was aware of someone at the back of the room saying "the black bastards they breed like rabits" that was shocking enough,but the fact that it went un-challenged was so shocking i got up and left the room.

I have always hated racisum,but recently its become clear that if i dont let those who do it go un-challenged the i feel im as bad.It might mean i get a bashing but it has to be done.I was in the minority there but i had my say,not because i want to change anyones opinion because you cant' more because i have made a commitment to walk my talk.I feel we are all the same no matter what the colour of our skin,sex,race,or what language .we all love our kids worry about money,get sick,laugh,cry,pray.Untill we realise the things that make us the same instead of the things that make us differant then we cant hope to change the world or live in peace.

But do you think that simply leaving the room was challenge enough?

perhaps i didnt make myself clear here,i had a 3 hour debate with about 5 people who were racist.It was hard going but i stuck to my guns and atleast 1 of them thought hard about where they stood.The thing is i think most people dont think of themselves as racist,but its not till they are challenged that they stop to think.

  An old girlfriend was walking through a park (on a day off from university) here on her own. some young lads (around 15 she thought) were hanging about.
  One of them called her a nigger. She didnt show any responce, just kept on walking.
  Although, she didnt show it at the time. It did upset her, but it was important to her she didnt show how hurtful it was.
  
  She is; an Indian from Malaysia, christian, brought up to respect people. small and beautiful, one of the thoughly kindest people I ever met.
  
  Some people are proud of there English city. Imagine how ashamed I am.
