We would really like to take this to an international level where countries around the world would declare themselves a Race-Free Zone but to achieve this goal, our first step would be to have organisations sign the pledge first. Mia, Australia One of the organizations that I am working with is Shine SA which is in partnership with young people and other organisations to reduce community based violence related to language, culture, race, gender, sexuality and religion. There will be a major youth convention here in Adelaide on March 21st 2001 focussing on community harmony and the voices and aspirations of young South Australians. When I was little, I never thought that I would have to deal with something so hurtful. I never thought that I would have to fight to help people that what they are doing is wrong.
Racism is only good for sadness.
It causes pain and wars between people of different skin colour and class. You would think that people would learn that racism is bad because there is a long history of the consequences and effects that people all over have been exposed to. We are no longer limited since our minds have grown in different parts allowing us to fly and talk to someone when they are half way across the world. However, when it comes to racism, we act like cave men. As a child this broke my heart.
