This morning I watched a current affairs programmecentred on racisn and the effects on individuals. An experimnt took plsce during which a white man and a black man swapped identities for the day. I apprecaite that this is difficult to imagine whithout the benefit of seeing it but, honestly the makeup and latex were very convincing. Both men concluded that it is their own fear of rejection that stops them mixing in each others communities. This fear seemed to arise from the fact that stereotypes and judgements are often innaccurate but as ndividuals they are powerless to challenge and often, as a group, they chose to conform. Obviously, the issue i vey complex and as of yet, I do not know how to overcome the biggotry and enable the world to live in peace. Maybe one day I can figure the answer and spread joy but until that day I shall continue to visit WDC. In this world I have discovered that no-one cares about my colour or my religion. I have learned that it matters not of any infirmity or advantage or otherwise that I may or may not possess. On tis sight, people want to hear what I have to say, regardless.
