racism : a revelation of the end ?

Racism : A revelation of the end ?


We talked about how we are supposed to save the planet.

We bragged about how we worked as one to stop injustice and famishment around the solitary globe.

We even mentioned how we love each other.

We ?

We..as in you and me..

or just you and YOURSELF ?

Man..the word 'we' is simply over-rated and abused.

I came across a blog

and this particular paragraph was more than enough to coagulate my blood from "boiling".

" This 3 indians just came and played v.ball with us -_-"

Pretty decent line till came this

"If japs or koreans approach me i wouldn't mind..Y ? because they have same skin colour as us"

Such complex interplay of individual attitude.

Racism of any kind is repulsive.

But why is it that we must set the "38th parallel" amongst ourselves ?

Does color and culture really play big significance ?

Does being white or yellow makes you any better ?

Debates over racism often suffer from a lack of clarity.

Many conflate racism with earlier forms of ethnic and national conflict.

Ethnic identity and ethno-nationalism became a source of conflict even till today.

This ideology devalues and renders inferiority to those groups

as this is reflected and perpetuated by cultural inequalities in society.

Racism is destructive and a persistent evil.

It fuels the fire of suffering.

Deal with it and not go with it.

Do it before it gets under your skin.

peace

Assalamualaikum.
