The Revolution Needs You To Speak Truth
"In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
There is little that unites our world. We can't agree on which side of the road to drive on. Nor can we agree on nuclear disarmament, living wages, clean air and water, need over greed, a world wide strategy to fight the Beast or what's healthier butter or margarine. We can't even agree on something as provable as, Trump is a liar.
The Left lies about the Right. The Right lies about the Left. The Center lies about everybody.
Some lie because they believe that the end justifies the means. Others lie because they're evil. Many repeat lies because they believe the lie is true. Constant lying has brought our world to a time of evil and destruction.
Now is the time to tell the truth. Perhaps the nastiest cultural lie, the lie used for systematic societal oppression and to beat the drum for war, is the lie of Race.
Neither race nor ethnicity is detectable in the human genome. Humans do have genetic variations, some of which were once associated with ancestry from different parts of the world. But those variations cannot be tracked to distinct biological categories. Genetic tests cannot be used to verify or determine race or ethnicity, though the tests themselves are associated with an increased belief in racial differences.
Though race has no genetic basis, the social concept of race still shapes human experiences. Racial bias fuels social exclusion, discrimination and violence against people from certain social groups. In turn, racial prejudice confers social privilege to some and social and physical disparities to others, and is widely expressed in hierarchies that privilege people with white skin over people with darker skin colors."
Here's the truth that will start us on the path of Peace:
“I am aware that everyone that exists has a story, and we all exist because that story is important for us to tell. We should choose to live our lives nobly with understanding that if you exist your story is just as important to this world as mine and we all have the rights to live and tell the most important story we have ever known The story of our existence”
If you and I will come together to walk and talk this Truth the Revolution will begin and in time we just might change our world for the better.
