The fact is that there is good and bad in all cultures. At one time, the whole earth was filled with people of color. During those times there was less tension. People never built fences--lands were left in common for animals to graze. Much later, people began to fight for land and behave like enemies. When the Civil Rights movement began in America, the leaders asked all people of the Diaspora to re-introduce brotherly love. The theme was to begin to sow love and respect to your "brothers and sisters" and then spread those positive seeds beyond.
Wouldn't be nice if the whole world stop behaving like enemies and behave like brothers?

the Me4xicans call each other cousin
it is a friendly term .meaning that you are not enimies.
it has nothing to do with the fact that they look a lot like each other and want to be sure that their family is included when greeting each other and they have such large families.

God calls us brothers and sisters, cause we are all his children. If you would go to church then you would know that not only black people do it.

i'm white and i sometimes call my friends "brother" It's when you feel like someone's family. Blacks extend it to the entire race sometimes to try to establish a sense of unity. It's all good. :)

It's a term of endearment. It also shows solidarity among the people of our race.

First all, it doesn't matter what color you are, we all are brothers and sisters.
Why does everything have to be about the color of ones skin?
