Color and coloured

It has been a while since I have last posted. I had a situation with my power cord to my machine. So much has gone on that I cannot begin from the beginning. Voting just ended in my country and the Opposition ran a racist campaign. (Yeh,they actually did that) and now one of 'their' companies has been boycotted and they cannot understand why they have to pay for one person's racist statements. Today I have to write that I am extremely pleased with the stance on racism. Covid-19 has equalized so many aspects of life. Right now we are still facing the fallout of the Oppositions racist rants online everywhere and on your phone too. But I see further along. There is a great opportunity to define better for all of us. One person in response to the boycott has suggested that they create an apatheid sytem. Yes, that is the thinking of one of the Oppositions supporters. This development begs the question, can things really change? The answer is an unequivocal yes. Citizens do not have to take one groups impression of them as the only way. That is what abolition of slavery was all about. One is not helpless or homeless. There is not only one way to do something. You do not have to purchase anything from anyone who takes your money and deems you a cockroach as the person stated in their rant. Cockroaches educated them cockroaches made them wealthy. Well these cockroaches are now marching with our cockroach money away from you racist opinions and building something much better, and guess what, we don't hate you. Racism is a sickness. We know that you are hurting and want to see life as a skin color. We get it. Poverty can seem to be a race. But it really isnt. Name a country where there is no poverty? I may not see many of a certain race in destitution in my country, but I certainly see it when I visit their country of origin and it all looks the same. Confronting raist stereotyping is so healthy for the wrld to discuss. It must be seen as an outdated, dispiccable practice that must be wiped from the face of the Earth. Until that time, the growing pains of our opposition is a test to us all and an opportunity to truly act like the better human beings we can become.
