THE PERPETUATION OF RACISM
RACISM IS AN UGLY,EVIL,SCARY,DESPICABLE PRACTICE. IT CAN BE PERPETUATED UNCONSCIOUSLY BUT IT'S EFFECTS ARE STILL INSIDIOUS. INSTITUTIONAL RACISM IS AVAILABLE 24/7. EXAMPLE, THE NEED TO CLASSIFY, BLACK PEOPLE AS AFRICAN-AMERICANS BY THE MEDIA AND OURSELVES. IF WE MUST. WHY AREN'T WHITE PEOPLE CLASSIFIED AS EUROPEAN-AMERICANS?? TO CONTINUE TO PROCLAIM THIS DESIGNATION ONLY SCREAMS DIFFERENT. DIFFERENT ENOUGH TO INDICATE. I DARE SAY IT ALL STARTED WITH ACCEPTANCE AND TOLERANCE TO DISPARTIY. I POSE THE QUESTION. WHY? WE ALL PLAY APART IN THIS ISM AND WE CAN ONLY HEAL IT WITH BARE HONESTY. OUR WORK CONTINIUES AMERICA.
CAN OUR PRESIDENT BE A BLACK MAN (AFRICAN-AMERICAN) BORN OF A WHITE MOTHER?? REALLY?? OR IS THIS JUST MORE ACCEPTABLE? HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF, 2009.
