Racism

Got home yesterday.

When I arrived, I saw something that saddens me.

Kids, maybe 7 or 8 years of age.

Throwing racist remarks to an Indian.

How could this happen?

How can little kids be a racist at an early age?

Didn't their parent teach them not to hate other people?

Even though they are not as the same race as them.

Did their follow their parents who also are racist?

These kids are the future.

They will be leaders.

And we can't have leaders that are racist.

This will lead to inequality thus maybe sparking another May 15th incident.

So, parents.

Please don't turn your child into a racist.

Or if you, yourself are a racist, please do change.

We live in a multicultural country.

We can't have unity if people keep hating each others guts.


Even if a unity of faith is not possible, a unity of love is.
-Hans Urs von Balthasar
