Cant we all just get along?

Question

Look around, none of us have extra limbs, none of us are purple, blue or green. Racism is outdated... Who cares who believes in what? Why are so many of us so afraid of differences?

Answer 1

The key word is different. We are hard wired to mistrust that which we do not know.

Answer 2

Our human mind is geared to I'm right & everyone else is wrong. We are all equally made by God himself. Therefore, He doesn't make an imperfect person. It is up to each individual to learn from each-other. I say,"Get over it." And take the initiative to learn from another. The word of God says, "For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature."

I think every time racism is exploited against one another, God grieves.

Answer 3

It is extremely outdated. I have often found that the most racist people are the ones who have never been surrounded by diversity. It kind of boils down to the fear of the unknown.

Answer 4

I do agree. All people should be judged on their individual acheivement and accountability. Diversity is one of the greatest teaching tools there is. We shouldn't be defensive because of differences, but should respect people for who they are and realize we can learn from everyone.

Answer 5

fear....plain and simple ~ we fear that which is different...even though we are the same

its possibly THE most stupid thing on earth

to quote the bard "if you prick us do we not bleed?" and do we not all bleed the same blood?

i wish we could all just get along
