Racial Equality

Life is a mixture of colours and hues .When you look around you ,you see meadows covered in green,when you lift your head above ,you feel pleased to add more colours to your life with the rainbow . At night ,the stars twinkle to greet you and the moon accompanies you along your walk . Stop for a while and contemplate what surrounds you . Can you ignore a colour ? Of course not .Similarly earth dwellers came in different colours to beautify the land . They didn't choose the colour of their skins .Whether white ,black ,red or yellow ,they have come to mix together or stay apparent to add more flavour to life ,sweet ,chilly or savoury .
Starting from this simple parallel ,no race is bound to be excluded .All races are equal and none is superior .All colours matter .Let us remember what history made ,how it demeaned a race and raised another but things have changed and science has proved that no race is superior .God granted us  brains that function equally .Let us unite for the benefit of all ,let us use our brains to preach equality between races and opportunities .None was born a servant ,none was born a master ,either .We were born free with the same chances to inhabit the earth ,live ,do good and let others live .Let us practise the will of the creator who will judge us according to our deeds and not according to our colour or creeds .
History witnessed people who preached justice and left their prints as an everlasting testimony.Martin Luther King had a dream ,let us make it our dream and fight with all our might any form of prejudice ,hatred or segregation .
We must be all proud of our colours ,the colours of earth,of clay :black ,brown yellow and white .Even metals come in colours and they are precious .The same for human beings ,we are valuable ,the skin is just a cover .Our content is good ,our blood has the same colour and can be donated to all . Our mission is not easy but not impossible ,with communication ,with awareness ,with love ,writing and sharing ,we are able to overcome all obstacles ,if not all at once ,we start with some to reach our goal to make everyone believe in the human being .Let us be humane and cut with all forms of suffering and pain . Let us just remember that " Racism is evil and has no place in the family of GOD " Let us not forget that " Racism is not born ,it is taught " and we have to teach values and goodness !
