Why should racism end Derrick?

Without racism, the person best qualified would have a better chance to succeed which means we all benefit. People would try harder knowing the playing field was more level even though sometimes we confuse racism with favoritism.

Why should racism end Donald?

Hi CJ,

Here are three reasons why I feel racism should end:

1. Equality: A person’s ability to succeed should not be based on the amount of pigment in their skin or the continent or country from which he/she originates.

2. Innovation: With as many needs as humankind currently has, shouldn’t we be using every resource available to us? The greatest resource we have is the mind. Every day we waste intelligence and innovation because we turn our back on people, just because they are different. How sad for all of us.

3. Competition: You want to get better at anything? Unleash competition. It is a driving force in humans. You want to win? Dig deeper in your grades, art, sports or business. If you want to make yourself better, then compete against everyone. That means no one gets excluded

Why should racism end Robert Nibbs?

CJ,

Three reasons why racism should end:

1. Racism is built on a concept of fear, hatred and ignorance and absolutely no one benefits.

2. If you believe that people make the world go round and are committed to happiness, love and peace, then racism never fits into the equation.

3. Racism diminishes our potential for greatness.

Why should racism end Brad?

CJ,

Racism serves no purpose and is absolutely wrong. Racism offers nothing but pain, resentment, anger and distrust. Unfortunately, you cannot simply end racism. There is no way to ONLY be “non-racist” in the same way that there is no way to make a room “un-dark.” Just like racism, darkness is the absence of something; not the addition or existence of anything. To illuminate a room you must add light and to eliminate racism you must add respect. Share the light of life by respecting others and you will help develop respect-FULL people. Be a positive force of change by replacing racism with respect.

All the best and remember…Always Play IV Each Other…in everything we do!

Peace and Grace,

Brad
