“[Racism] is not about how you look, it's about how people assign meaning to how you look.”
Robin D.G Kelley.
History has shown us that people is different, so different that we had a world war because one person though that his race was better. Countries had fight sanguine civil wars because these differences and many people had die. But are we that different? Who was the first to say that some race was better to another? What is race?
I don't know. We might look different in the outside because the color of our skin or the shape of our eyes, but we are all humans. Sometimes we forget that we already belong to a group when we segregate ourself. What we are doing is separating each one of us from the others. Is like a bag of candies, they are all candies, different colors, different flavors, but all are candies from the same factory
I *love* your analogy to candy from the same factory! That's how I feel a lot about most things in life--if we all stopped to listen to each other, we would find out that we are more similar than different.
