Where do these thoughts come from?

Consider that racial prejudice didn't always exist.

Consider that it had to have started sometime.

Wonder what created it?

Be so thrilled that we might be living when it doesn't exist - today.

What will it take for that to be the case?

Work. A lot of work. Unrelenting work. Intent.

It will require that our Intent be followed only by actions necessary for each of us to individually chose to not 'be' prejudice anymore. No other action will get our intent fulfilled.

Following our consciously making that our intent, we will 'be' our Intent followed by the action necessary to have the measure of our real intent (results) reflect the intent fulfilled.

But this will be required in and of, each and every one of us. Yes. You. And me. And them, and those people over there, and the ones who live down there and the ones across there. Every one.

It is going to require that we become color aware after we are individual aware.

It is possible. It is desirable. It is necessary. It is the only way we will all have any offspring still alive when the planet reaches its end.

Prejudice is a system of saying: I do not have your best interests in mind when I live my day.

Prejudice is a way of placing ourselves ahead of the human race. No one will ever be better than anyone else ever again if we all agree to that being the least of what we will accept.

So here in America we have chosen to not see our President as a black man first.

Why don't we take the next step and chose all other people who are not exactly like us?

The wonder of this is that we can chose to change the pattern of tolerance that we have come to accept; individuals of minorities accepted across the prejudicial barrier. Examples most visible to me are athletes and celebrities.

When we have truly stepped into our best future, we will have accepted any and all minorities across the prejudicial border to the extent that we will not be using the word prejudice when referring to the present, only when referring to the past.

Oh hell, I know what I mean.
