Racism

Years ago, I made an award-winning short film that dealt with this very issue. Please enjoy… THE LIGHT OF DARKNESS

“Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social or moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics.” – ADL

I have found as a general rule, that in vigorous debate or heated conversation, the first one to raise the specter of race is usually the real racist. It is also interesting to me that “racism” is solely a visual prejudice. If you were to stand alongside someone in a pitch black room, and nothing was said, would you still be able to maintain a racial prejudice? No. When you close your eyes, we all look the same! The modern-day cultural cudgel we call “racism” is the political weapon of choice for those who seek to tear down and divide this great nation. And it is most often wielded with hypocritical abandon by those who project their own bigotries onto those around them. Do no fall for this sinister tactic! We are all Americans. We all have the same hope and dreams for our families. There is FAR more that unites us than divides us! We do not always have to agree on everything, but if we treat others the same way we want to be treated… I assure you, the best is yet to come!
