I'm sitting in the bridge of the Enterprise, dreaming of reading all those wonderful books about how we got here and how we can't make sense of why people used to be so horrid to each other.

When I came to Australia nearly 50 years ago what a breath of fresh air to have so many nationalities all cohabiting happily, except the native people of course as they weren't counted. Then elsewhere more unrest brought Asians and Africans who fitted in and we finally gave a tick to the locals too!

The majority of voters must be non racist. Racism does not make sense in your country. I doubt if we in Oz would ever have a black Prime Minister yet multi culturalism seems to fit a little better.<br /><br /> WASPS may be the ruling class now but I predict they will not be in the future. There is religious persecution of Christians occuring which gets little coverage.Christianity is the most persecuted religion in the world. Most of these persecuted Christians are black Africans and from the middle East. Coloured Christians it seems rate less than white ones.rallentandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980559347805844568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-87028034453757426552014-12-21T18:52:58.368-05:002014-12-21T18:52:58.368-05:00I hope your words resonate loud and your work with...I hope your words resonate loud and your work with all of us rids us of the negative speak and perceptions that have met their time to go....Donna@LivingFromHappinesshttp://www.livingfromhappiness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-52260410930952492082014-12-21T18:51:39.200-05:002014-12-21T18:51:39.200-05:00we might begin to undo negatives.

How wonderful that, even in pain, you are attending such events, and working hard to raise awareness and reverse this long-lived inequity. Change is happening. Awareness is growing. But so much - SO MUCH - depends on who gets elected next time. I have my fears and worries that we could be zapped right back to 1950.
