The mission to debunk erroneous semantics

Let’s touch on a touchy issue raging across our nation—race. Now, let’s debunk it. There is only one race—the human race—so we’re all living this huge earth-experiment together. There are cultural differences, there is a continuum of pigmentation shades—from nearly clear to shining black—and these differences do not constitute “race.” One race = human race. Enough said.

By changing semantics (and recognizing we are all together living on one planet) we can begin to change the nature of bias; we can begin to accept, even embrace, diversity. Our mission in life is to listen to the variety of voices, to challenge assumptions, and to recognize our own intolerances (and we ALL have them).

Be kind. Play nice. Share. Smile. These positive actions feel good and are good for our health (endorphins are excellent). We DID learn these things early in life—let’s practice them daily and frequently throughout the day.

Peace and blessings (practice the first; count the second).
