It's just a Race!

If the color of your skin and your nationality was up to you what would it be?

We live in a white man's world, a white man's nation at most. One in which we kill ourselves to have lighter skin or become citizens of their nation. One in which we sell our every distinction as a Filipino to belong with their crowd. We are Americanized!

A white american passes by you in a store, what is your initial reaction? You work in a bank and a British national wants to open an account, how do you greet him? You dine in a restaurant with your family and in the next table dines an Arab family, would you request a different table? What if they were Jews? Blacks?

Bigotry is a word people! Look it up!

It's the 21st century. Gone are the days of slave laborers, holocaust and the likes. The highlight of our week is no longer "the time I spent giving directions to a foreigner." But racism, bigotry and prejudice still live in us. Sadly, we are prejudicial against our own.

We put foreigners above ourselves. We wait on their hands and feet even if its not our job. Come on, admit it! You are more pleasant when speaking to the white race than to your fellow Filipino. I myself am guilty of this. And the truth is they milk it. They enjoy being pampered and getting away with whatever they want here. They treat us like trash and we say Thank You for it. How low can you go??!!!

It's just a race and I don't owe them anything that matters. So do you. We are a greater people than them. We went through more than they can imagine. We are a stronger nation once we realize it.

And what of Arabs and Muslims? I read a post once, this from a pastor:
     "Not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims."
The uncritical minds agree to this, it's ok but read it again then think.

The above post is an example of prejudicial thinking. The UNABOMBER (terrorist bomber by mail  )identified as Theodore John "Ted" Kaczynski  was neither a Muslim or Arab. That's one example. Besides terrorists like the Al Kaeda preach a different Muslim. If it is in their religion, wouldn't all Muslems be therefore terrorists? Terrorists CLAIM to be Muslims but they are a minority sect and that is all they are. For a religion is uniformity.

We judge and rob others of the treatment they deserve - impartiallity. You were not taught better, but you must act better. It's just a race people! The color of my skin or my religion will not tell you who I am. (By the way I'm not a Muslim. =P )
