People are people. Color is color.

Here’s something that has been getting to me, also; Racism. It’s not only the fact that racism even exists, it’s also the fact that people argue “Race doesn’t matter.” There is only one race, God created only ONE race; the human race. Skin color is skin color. Even people of the “same race” don’t have the exact same color skin. That being said, I believe racism is merely stereotypic. You shouldn’t be stereotyping people, everyone is different, and that is to say, we all have our own minds.  God created us all equal. You hear that a lot, don’t you? Especially when people talk about racism, didn’t Dr. King state it in his speech?

It all fits together, love and wisdom. You have to learn and understand that all people are people. No matter what they look like, act like, talk like, all people are of one race. You can be 14 different colors and still be a family. Color is just color. Imagine your bed room being strictly just one color, and everything that enters into it has to be the exact same color. You can’t buy things or invite people over that is not that one color. Seems kind of silly doesn’t it? Well that’s what racism is.

If you can learn and understand that all people are one race, and all people are created equal, you can better love. How are we created equal, you may ask? God gave us all the same important organ; a heart. We all have a heart and a mind of our own, God gave us a free will. We can do what we want, pretty much. But if you don’t choose love, you choose hate. You can’t have both and you can’t choose neither.

If you want the world to be better, learn to understand this simple fact:  God created one race; the human race. Man created racism.

Every person you come across in life has a heart and has a story. The way you treat them may very well push them over the edge, or save their life. You really wouldn’t want someone to hurt themselves all because a stranger didn’t treat them as a person with a heart, would you?

Consideration; the man in front of you may be going too slow in front of you, because he’s old, and can’t go the speed limit because it’s a little hard for him to see. You don’t need to lay on your horn, speed past him, and flip him off when you pass.

Did you ever consider that the group of teenagers (whatever color) act the way they do, because you treat them with about the same respect as a group of ants trying to invade in on your picnic? If you expect and react in the manner that the group of teenagers is going to mug you and steal all of your goods, then you’re helping them turn into the thugs they become to be.  This could very well be the case. The way you treat people, even the “nobodies”, does have an impact on every single person.

Respect; if you treat everyone with the same amount of respect you would want (or think you deserve), would the world not be a better place? Love is respect, respect is love.

People are people. Color is color. People are not the color of their skin. We were all created by the same God, we were all created with a heart, we all have a story, we all have scars, we all need to love and be loved.
