(21,210 posts)we have been living in an American Cancer Society funded facility for the past three months. There are a variety of skin colors and people of different religions, everyone is a person.
Is there racism in our society, yes, but if one dwells too much it can be counterproductive. I say good morning and good night to everyone equally, I offer support or to hold the door for others without thinking what color there skin is or what their religion might be. Sorry to say that the Muslim family felt afraid to admit their religion to others at first, we need to stop seeing reasons to divide and see common reasons to move forward.
We all have many things in common and need to focus our energy on what we have in common and not what divides us.
I only know what I do, it may seem insignificant and slow, but each one of us can make a difference without being confrontational.
