Who Is Responsible For Ending Racism?
This is my viewpoint based on blog posts and conversations
I am a firm believer that wherever is the origin of racism, is also the same place where it will end. We must first check with the man in the mirror and then get educated.
“If achieving world peace and ending poverty were really genuine concerns to the majority, then they would have happened already by now. So, either people are not aware of their collective power, or their fears overpower their desires. The amount of money spent on the military-industrial complex in one year is more than enough to end hunger in Africa. Every problem on earth today has more than one solution. However, priorities are determined by values.”

What did MJ mean when he said these lyrics?
“I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could’ve been any clearer
If they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change”
We have to be the change we want to see.
