(5,125 posts)I see color. I love color. What a boring f**king world without it. BLAH.
I simply believe that we can't ask to resolve the issues of racism by making everything a person can or can't do ABOUT race.
TO BEGIN to realize that we are all HUMAN above and beyond the color of our skin, doesn't ignore the color of our skin.
It simply refuses to believe that a person is limited by the color of their skin to certain behaviors. We have choices and certainly our historical knowledge and experience informs those choices, potentially directing us in certain directions. But if our minds are open, we can make different choices.
I want to support anyone of any race to be the best person they can be whether the challenges they face are because of or in spite of the color of their skin.
Because a person being happy in whatever skin they are in is a more productive member of society and makes the world a better place.
