We are equal! deal with it! stop the hate!

Hello!I'm here again to share some words on what I want to imply about Racism. As you can see I made some quotations here below. 

" The color of our skin would             never be a sin "


"we're so different yet were so the same"




The quotes above are just some quotations I made for making a change by making blogs and promoting fairness and equality. I'd like to give emphasis on the second quote first. "we're so different yet were so the same"
what exactly do i mean with this? I want to make it straight to the point ..it simply means that no matter how different we are in our appearance, culture, dialect, country, religion and all other aspects in life.. We are still made by one King, one Creator and one GOD.  I mean, we are all humans..same structure origin and everything we are created specially and uniquely! we should treat each other like our own brothers and sisters because we are all brothers and sisters in God. As my advice i'd like to share with you another quote "Let's love each other and be happy together" :) 
On the first quote " The color of our skin would never be a sin " 
This quote depicts just how absurd it is to judge people by the color they're wearing. Well its not our fault to be whatever color we are right now. It's just mean and illogical for someone to think how a color is better than the other. We should not consider ourselves worthless or good for nothing if others keep on boasting how better they are --just keep in mind that we can achieve anything we want because if others can do it, why can't I? Just believe in yourself, Don't let discrimination stop you from being what you can be. A lot of people already proved that . Just like the blacks who are the ones most racially discriminated before proved how they can keep pace and outstand with everyone in the field of entertainment, sports, modelling and a lot more. Remember that God made us differently for us to stand out but to come together as brothers and sisters. 
THERE'S NO ROOM FOR RACISM IN THIS WORLD

 Cheer up , smile and live life. That's all. I hope you realized something from this simple blog. : D

My thoughts on the "Telephone conversation by Wole Soyinka"



The Telephone Conversation



The price seemed reasonable, location
Indifferent. The landlady swore she lived
Off premises. Nothing remained
But self- confession “Madam, I warned,
“I hate a wasted journey- I am African.”
Silence. Silenced transmission of
Pressurised good – breeding. Voice, when it came
Lipstick-coated, long gold-rolled
Cigarette- holder pipped. Caught I was foully
“HOW DARK?...... I had not misheard……
“ARE YOU LIGHT OR VERY DARK?” Button B, Button A, stench
Of rancid breath of public hide-and –speak
Red booth. Red pillar box. Red double-tiered
Omnibus squelching tar. It was real. Shamed
By ill-mannered silence, surrender
Pushed dumbfounded to beg simplification.
Considerate she was, varying the emphasis-
“ARE YOU DARK? OR VERY LIGHT?" Revelation came
“You mean –like plain or milk chocolate?”
Her assent was clinical, crushing in its light
Impersonality, Rapidly, wave length adjusted,
I chose “West African sepia”- and as afterthought,
“Down in my passport.” Silence for spectroscopic
Flight of fancy, till truthfulness clanged her accent
Hard on the mouthpiece. “WHAT IS THAT?” conceding
“DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT IS” “Like brunette.”
THAT’S DARK, ISN’T IT?” Not altogether,
Facially, I am a brunette, but Madam you should see
The rest of me. Palm of my hand, soles of my feet
Are a peroxide blonde. Friction caused
Foolishly, Madam – by sitting down, has turned
My bottom raven black- One moment – sensing
Her receiver rearing on the thunderclap
About my ears- “Madam” I pleaded “wouldn’t you rather
See for yourself?”

Wole Soyinka

Wole Soyinka's works are always very unique, sophisticated and interesting.
It even took me days to understand fully what it's trying to say, but yeah I had fun reading and understanding it. hoho.








Now what is the story trying to tell us? The story is trying to depict racism which was a great widespread issue before especially in the U.S.A.?
It is about a conversation with a black guy and a prejudice white lady. 


 
(the described look of the white lady )


Why did I described this White lady as prejudice? Well the way she talked with the black guy was a bit rude for me..even if she asked politely it's still insulting for the black guy to be asked like that. Why would she even care about the fact that the guy mentioned he's Black?  that means the lady wants to further know if the guy was really that black, if he is ,the lady would just hang up---and she actually did. My racism sensors are tingling.. Well, Racism was out of hand during that time that's why there was a prejudice apprehension that the blacks are wild,violent and slaves etc. To make it short, the purpose of this story is to show how senseless the idea of Racism is. 




I remember a story told to me by my uncle. It goes like this..When he was in Dubai he went to a high end boutique where there were 3-4 customers..and all the staff from the shop looked at him from head to toe and just ignored him. Another customer of caucasian origin entered the shop and was immediately approached and attended by the staff. Stupid huh?
The idea of judging people depending on the color of his skin makes me sick. It's just ridiculous to be judged by narrow minded people. 

My advise to people discriminated, judged or humiliated by narrow minded people to stand up for themselves, If you think it's too much..Use your wits! Use sarcasm but always remember to be polite, you'll surely leave them dumbfounded in awe! ;D (an original dauntless tip by me) If not, you could just ignore them knowing you have  better understanding, principles and perspective in life. Be proud and stay your positive outlook in life!
I am special and beautiful..I am me. Beat that!

Have a goodnight/day~
