The racial identity has always been in an able position to declare war and it last still. Since the very beginning with the unaccountable slave ships crossing overseas, passing by the Jews history chapter – at the World War Two, by the segregation episode in USA until nowadays with all discussion aiming to the Muslims.
When a child begins to discover herself as an unit into the world, questions about “what they are “ are often made and the answer for that is hard to find even for the grown ones. How to reduce all the multiracial and historic heritages in a single word such as Black, White, Asian, Jew, or Muslim? Why the way someone look define its personality or its worth to be respected?
All these labels putted on people raises imaginary boundaries that keep people apart on opposite sides, in a sad and dangerous way. Most of the problems the world has and most of them that are yet to come are about the differences and it should not be like that.
Instead of teaching the kids about how the differences affect to environment they live in by mixing colors, religions or cultures, it should be seen as a very rich contribution to build the near future. How fascinating would be to have the chance to learn from the others one´s experiences, flavors and Gods? And how good would be showing them the same?
The way things are being done for ages are not working; the world is on war again. And still because of the intolerance.
