The more we talk to people, instead of having preconceived idea of them, the greater chance we will have to make meaningful connections.

COMBAT RACISM WITH ME BY SHARING THIS MESSAGE: It’s easy to sit around and judge other people. The hard part is looking in the mirror and judging yourself. #repost @hollyweird_is_evil_extended Prejudice cannot see the things that are because it is always looking for things that aren’t. #preconception #prejudgement LOVE KNOWS NO GENDER, NO AGE, NO RACE. LOVE HAS NO LABELS. #love #haters To prejudge other men’s notions before we have looked into them is not to show their darkness but to put out our own eyes. #hatred #ignorant Judging someone by the color of their skin is ignorant. Their skin complexion has nothing to do with their morals, beliefs or intelligence. #character #judging If you judge people, you have no time to love them. #prejudging #prejudge Prejudice is a great timesaver. You can form opinions without having to get to the facts. #prejudice #labels Reason is always weak where prejudice is strong. #judges #ignorance None of us are responsible for the complexion of their skin. This fact of nature offers no clue to the character or quality of the person underneath. #prejudgment #preconceivednotions “Our minds are constantly being invaded by legions of half-truths, prejudices, and false facts. One of the great needs of mankind is to be lifted above the morass of false propaganda.”- Dr. MLK Jr. #preconceived #preconceivedideas THE GREATEST OBSTACLE TO PROGRESS IS PREJUDICE. #judge #hate All skin colors, whether light or dark, are not due to race but to adaptation for life under the sun. #progress Race prejudice is not only a shadow over the colored, it is a shadow over all of us. And the shadow is darkest over those who feel it least and allow its evil effects to go on. #dislike #execrate The glaring injustice is there for all who are not blinded by prejudice to see. #detest #loathe Prejudice is opinion without judgment. #racism #racist PREJUDICES ARE THE CHAINS FORGED BY IGNORANCE TO KEEP MEN APART. #abhor #despise “Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.”- 1John4:20 (at Mount Juliet, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuVEvhYFvls/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x9b84lh0ody4

Misconceptions about Africa

When watching American television shows or just seeing Americans talk In general about Africa, I see that Americans have this preconceived idea about what Africa is. First of all, Africa is a continent and not a country. You cannot fly to Africa as there are many countries in Africa. Not everyone in Africa is poor and hungry, in fact Africa is filled with millionaires and even billionaires. Nigeria's movie industry (Nollywood) is the third largest movie industry in the world after Hollywood and Bollywood People in Africa don't walk around naked or with animal carcasses around to cover themselves. We know about the latest trends and brands. We wear Christian Louboutin, Versace , Tommy Hilfiger, Nike and all these famous brands. Africans also have their own fashion designers such as Thula Sindi and David Tlale from South Africa. This preconceived idea that Hollywood has somehow indoctrinated people around the world actually makes me angry. Africans do not ride elephants or lions to school. They are kept in zoos and game parks and in the wild (where they belong) We have cars. Actual cars. Mercedes Benz, BMW , Audi , Chevrolet- they are all available in Africa . These ideas and notions that Africa is a bad place and that Africans aren't aware of the things that go on around the world need to stop . We are advanced We are technological We are pretty much just as smart or even smarter than Americans We are Africa
