Prejudice is not ok.
Discrimination is not ok.
Inequality is not ok.
Abuse is not ok.
Any kind of inhumanity is not f*cking ok.
The colour of our skin, our religion, our culture, our country, our gender, does not determine our value.
There is only one human race and we all belong to it
Every human being deserves safety, equality, and freedom.
These things are not privileges for the few, but the human right of all.
The world is showing us we have far to go, but the size of the task must not deter us – it should inspire us, to do whatever it is that we can, no matter how small, to change this world for the better, every day of our lives.
And we do that by facing reality as it is, not by avoiding it or making excuses because it’s too uncomfortable or frightening to face. We must use our voices, our actions, our humanity to join together as one, united by love, and made great by the beautiful fusion of our different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
There is only one race, the human race and it runs on love, not fear.
Now more than ever, we must find the courage to do the right thing, to stand united and for each and every one of us to be the change that is so very needed.
So, please take your place and be that change.
With much love,

Great Article Nik. Tears come to my eyes which is not very often unless something hits the core of my soul. When we were born from the womb, created by God, He did not say that those born of color are less than life itself. People, Leaders, Race Baiters, Liberal Professors and teachers, lack of two parents in the home, improper teaching in the schools have all contributed to what is happening today. If we do not find the courage to stand up for all that is good, allowing the evil to continue to seep through our communities and government, we are in for a long battle to make things right.
