Stop pulling the Race card

The definition of racism according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary is:
1)A belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce inherent superiority of a particular race.
2) Racial prejudice or discrimination.

Notice how the dictionary doesn't state that  racism is the discrimination that 'black' people get from 'white' people. Did you know it could be also vice versa?

 I normally don't like to refer to people as 'black' or 'white' , but seeing as to how many people don't understand the whole racism issue I think I'll have to step out a little from my comfort zone.

 I've never been discriminated against, nor have I seen anyone else either. My personal definition on discrimination is being told I can't do something because of my skin.In my little world, I thought racism no longer existed but that was just my ignorance and someone had to pop my bubble to get out of that state of mind.  I have seen, other forms of discrimination but for some reason I thought racism was over. Maybe that was because racism to me was just that slavery period. When slavery was abolished and when people came together as one, I assumed it was just a thing of the past. Even more shocking was that I was also recently told that slavery hasn't ended either. Ignorance, I tell you!

 The only thing I've come across with is the very same people who use the race card, are the ones who tend to be a bit racist. For example, they may say 'green people can't do that'  or ' She can't dance because she's pink'

 'Black' people in particular using the race card way to much where I am from. Just the other day I was reading a blog that was just someones weird experience and it had nothing to do with race, but she managed to tie that all in and accuse the writer of being racist.

I don't get it, why are you getting so riled up over nothing. what I think the issue is, is the fact that some people haven't accepted who they are yet. Due to that insecurity, they go ballistic on you at anything they think you may say pertaining to their race.

If someone does something upsetting to them, they ready to use the race card. I don't get why you want to be the victim in everything.  Just love who you are and accept yourself.  I remember being embarrassed for my background and I hated it,  until I learnt to appreciate it and accept  it.

Also, stop being the very first to make general comments on the traits of all people based on their skin. You got to learn to see beyond that. There is more to people than they're skin. Then again, I did say earlier that 'black' people were the one's that are using the race card too much. Did you notice that was a generalized comment? Where do we draw the fine line of using our observations for coming up with conclusions versus making wide assumptions. I would suggest avoid using the word 'all' don't say all 'green' people are rude. Just because you've seen a lot of rude ones, doesn't make all of them that way.

Some people may think the world would be better if everyone was the same, but that would undermine our abilities as humans to appreciate diversity. If we can accept others and ourselves and remember that at the end of the day, we're all humans and we're going to die, that would be a greater feat than having to colour everything the same shade.

From the Quran we learn:

 "mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted."

Notice how I left out my race? Tough it's no big secret, I just tried to keep it out of the way so you could understand the message without considering who I am.

I hope I haven't offended anybody, It's difficult getting my point across sometimes. Let me know any of your thoughts and concerns regarding this issue. If I've messed up some where please let me know, I'm only human/.
