Racism
When empathy and love shall abide in the conscience of man, racism shall cease to be a problem to humanity.

Nepotism is not just limited to Bollywood chat shows or the film industry, rather it has been the foundation of every society since the beginning of mankind. An actor’s kid is expected to be an actor, a lawyer’s kid a lawyer, doctors kid a doctor, and a laborer’s kid is unfortunately exploited even before birth, and forced to become a bounded child laborer. Child labor is one of the many social issues that demand immediate redressal. In common terms, child labor can be defined as the brutal practice of employing an underage child in any sort of work, menial, construction, or otherwise. These...
Her question was earthshaking, Like a volcanic eruption, Like a giant wave, Like a heavy flood.... No, I can't answer her question, nor the nature can.... Because I don't know who created this tradition, Who wanted this and not that... I can't tell her that god created this, because I'm not a regular visitor of god. My mouth shattered with utter silence... But once she asked again, "Why rainbows are made without 'black' colour?"
God Bless America, a phrase used so poorly by those who reside in such a baren and divided country to boast our so-called pride in our nation. How have we come from such humble, honest beginnings yet turned to such violent, bloodbath conflicts? To this day, we still struggle to unite the nations of this world and unite our people. Instead of loving our neighbors, we harbor resentment and fear against them. How long will it take for us to remove the covers we have placed on our eyes, and truly see what it takes to change the world than destroy it. When will our nations cease to exist as...
“People Get Ready” is a music album released in 1965 by The Impressions, performed by Curtis Mayfield. It’s glaring bold themes are linked to the struggles of “freedom” and “slavery” while incorporating faith in God. In the decades since the 1960s this song has evolved, and has been performed, covered and reinterpreted by many different talented artists, within different genres of music. It is a song that initially influenced the Rhythm and Blues music more than other genres. The famous Human Rights Activist, Martin Luther King Jr. named the song the unofficial anthem of the Civil Rights...
I want to reimagine the whole world. I want that our future to be brighter. In my world, after the coronavirus, there would be no prejudice among people. I really want to see people look at themselves and take time to learn. Take the time to get to know ourselves and others better, because only this can lead us to a cohesive, responsible, understanding, adult, and lovable society. I don’t want to experience prejudices anymore. I want the world to accept itself and others, so that people can live in peace. I wish they could be fulfilled and self-forgetfully happy, as all of us really want that...
I am happy to support my LGBT friends, they are creative and sensitive, brave and inspirational. I feel so sad to know what they went through. How long will humanity divide and hurt each other if everyone equally deserves happiness and love? No one should be bullied and feel trapped. Equality = Happiness.
It is impressive how 2020 can still manage to qualify as one of the craziest years of my life. I know maybe my life has not been that broad, but I can assure you this year will forever remain in my memory. There is no doubt these are difficult times for humanity’s future, everyone’s lives turned upside down abruptly, and to be honest a spark of hope was created when hundreds of governments united to fight the common enemy, a disease. Any type of change is considered scary, but as a society we managed to stay together and tackle our global challenges. Now everyone’s reality has changed again. I...
How horrendous is it inside the war zone? The echo of anguished cry and silent moan Resonates all over but can’t be heard As the war is noisy and jarred. On the Earth where flowers blossom, I see stains of blood. This bizarre sight gives me viperish dreads. Deepens my fright with sleepless nights. The purity of the soil gone. Father no more for a newborn. Hearts shattered and lives thrown. Endless tears on cheeks rolling down. Malice caused for the love of his nation, Turns out to be fiendish for humanity. Ain't the right way to express his affection, By harming another country. Killing and...
Excellencies, Presidents, Leaders, When, in the early morning, in a mist of cloudy weather, you enter your office, sit down and start working, what do you hear, what do you smell? Human voices, the perfume of freshly made coffee, sun rays shining a light on your working table? After having worked long hours you return home and in your bedroom, in the silence of the night, you can sleep knowing that the following day you’ll get up again, in a mist of cloudy weather. Solving wars, finding impossible solutions, achieving equality, relieving the plight of millions is your everyday task and we all...
A halt to the world. What a new beginning it is, a start with a stop to the world, hundreds of lives and to all the merely players for whom the world was a stage! What a life it is now just yesteryear how this world was amid by beaming spectrum of joys and celebrations, countless issues, millions of dreams and ongoing business alliances, a smooth education system and much more. Look what a distinctive way nature has found to make us realize these all bounties we once use to enjoy. Before this we have only seen the world as a place with billions of faces and uncountable daily interaction...
United we stand, divided we fall. How good will it be if we support all? Isn't it better not to get into a brawl? It just hurts and builds hatred's wall. Let's come together and make a call; stop discrimination to befall.
She is Black. . Beautiful. . .Magical. . .Intelligent. . .Resilient. . .Loving. . .Creative. . .Powerful. . .Influential. . Yes, she's Black, but thatis not all what she is. What makes the difference?!. How can we discriminate against her?!. So what if the skin colour of a person is white or brown or black??!. . What?!. . Define her byher inner strength, her talents, her thoughts, her perspective, her dreams, her vision and not with the colour of her skin. A rose is a rose, even if it is "black" or red or pink. If you yet find her race as her limitation, then understand, that it is YOUR...
Please stop, when is it going to be enough? How many lives have to be taken away for this to stop? In Mexico 10 women die every day because of their gender and 1 out of them is a child. We walk on blood and we are surrounded by the lost souls from women that have been brutally killed. Women that travel by public transportation get harassed, men ejaculate on their shoulders, they rip their underwear off, between others. We have different wagons for women to have a safe space, but plenty of men do not care and they come into the wagon and this systematic harassment happens every day. When can...
Shorts are too reveling and longs are to kitschy; skinny is too much and loose is too conservative. Growing up in a society where pajamas are too informal for going out and suits are much too body hugging. There is so much chaos, chaos in our society, chaos in our heads, and chaos in our hearts. Every time I walk to my closet I have to take a check list for filling in all the criteria before putting on my outfit. After walking out of my room my mom makes sure whether I am wearing a appropriate clothes of not, simply because she cares. I don’t know! For me caring is nurturing the human rather...
The second article of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child ensures the right not to be discriminated against – in any way. This includes the right to not be discriminated against for one’s sexual orientation or gender identity. As COVID-19 continues to spread across the world, hundreds of thousands of people have contracted the virus, and every community has been affected. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) youth often face additional challenges, which may include staying home with unsupportive family, restrictions on their self-expression, concerns about the future, and lack of...
The silence is suffocating.......we must speak up! Sexual and Gender-Based Violence is a cancer deeply rooted in my society and fueled by the culture of silence. Children being a vulnerable group are not spared by this cancer. It is experienced in the form of rape and other forms of sexual abuse, child marriage, FGM/C etc. More often than not these heinous acts are perpetrated by persons close to the victim, who the victim generally trusts, mostly family members. The Gambia has laws against sexual and gender-based violence. Some of these laws are quite progressive; the Sexual Offenses Act 2013...
Dedicating his 67 years fighting for social injustice, apartheid, making staunch efforts against racism, getting triumph by setting up democracy, his long -ought victories made him a global icon. Nelson Mandela - a light which has lit up the world of many black lives suffering racism - this man has indeed changed the world mystically. Mandela, who was sentenced to life imprisonment, became a powerful symbol of resistance for the rising anti-apartheid movement, repeatedly refusing to compromise his political position to obtain his freedom. In May 1994, Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa’s...
"If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break And the water gonna come in, have no place to stay" Led Zeppelin 1971 Over the summer of 1926, the central Mississippi basin was pummelled by heavy rains. By September, the Mississippi's tributaries in Kansas and Iowa were swollen to capacity. On the morning of Good Friday, April 15th 1927, the Memphis Commercial Appeal wrote, "The roaring Mississippi River, bank and levee full from St. Louis to New Orleans, is believed to be on its mightiest rampage. . . . All along the Mississippi considerable fear...
