Anti-Racism
Is the first stage of Anti-Racism acceptance? Or can we not fully acheive acceptance until we go through all the other necessary steps. Perhaps it's not so much acceptance as it is awareness. I think that one of the most powerful thing a person can do is to make society aware of social injustice. People are content to turn a blind eye on things like racism or sexism or homphobia. If we don't speak out about it, how are we ever going to change it. This needs to be accepted. There is power in numbers and power in voices. We speak up, we take the first step towards racial/gender/sexual equality. So I'm speaking up and out. I want to make the world aware. Give them something that will stare straight into their face until they accept it.
