We have to get, protect and to keep a worldwide society in which everyone enjoys and guarantees the full existence of human rights and fundamental freedoms as laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 10 December 1948, UNO, Paris, and in other international treaties.
The time in which these rights were not in existence, and or denied and or violated must be ended. We cannot afford racism, nor actions that provoke racial discrimination and racism.
Corruption and discrimination are the most severe threats of society and civilization.
As off young age I have been studying and fighting processes of racism. In 1976 my friends and I founded the first Dutch anti-racism movement (Hilversum and surroundings). It was a role model for Dutch anti-racism groups in following decades. We all have to be constantly vigilant to keep racial discrimination under control privately as well as socially.
In forming mankind discrimination played a role in protecting and or supposedly advancing one’s own family or group, but in a complex society in which we are all depending of each other to save earth and mankind, we cannot organize society along division lines of race and religion.
The danger of ‘homo homini lupus’ must be a warning light in everything people do or not do.
We must accept each other as equals, as brothers and sisters within the boundaries of human rights and fundamental freedoms. We have to be our brothers and sisters keeper and vice versa in such a way that planet earth and life can survive with the help of sophisticated vigilance and no tolerance for dangerous developments in human behavior, threatening planet earth and life.

Aren’t there more blacks than whites in the world? Then why are we blacks the oppressed ones? I mean even my younger brother knows majority wins, then why aren’t we winning? We don’t even want to win, we just want equality, since we have no hand in our skin’s color”.

An innocent Muslim will always ask this question. We should try and see things from the viewpoint of a Muslim also. For better understanding visit here:

It’s happening up here as well now

Acting out
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/teen-attack-1.3874867

Pakistani Muslim teen attacked with a baseball bat while walking alone after midnight

“Aslam said that since president-elect Donald Trump’s win this month, her whole family has felt more racial tension and even danger while out in public.”

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/trump-1.3849738

Casual white privilege racism

“As we stood in line he turned around to face me while pointing at the front page of a newspaper (which has Trump’s face filling the entire page), and said, (as he continued pointing at the paper and holding my gaze) ‘I’m glad he got in. I hope he cleans up the whole of North America.'”

“I asked this ‘man’ to explain to me what he meant by that — to which he said, and I quote, ‘You all shouldn’t even be here, you’re murderers and killers, you’re running around killing everybody, I hope he gets rid of all of you,'” she wrote.

“There was no raised voice or finger pointing in my face. Just a white man feeling he had the licence and permission to tell me exactly what he thought of black people — then casually walk away from me without a thought or care of the impact of his words.

“I fear the normalization of this kind of racist behaviour in our community.”

The frequency of such this kind of thing, or at least he reporting of it, has risen greatly here since Trump’s nomination. I fear for my country now.

If you apply the same set of criteria to race terms, you find quickly that they all fall apart in one way or another. We don’t get to decide that certain race terms are applicable and others are not. In this case, since the Irish are indubitably a distinct race from the British (English, mainly) and that distinction is the root of the “Irish Problem,” it fits perfectly as a race term. (Remember: Race terms are all bogus to begin with.)

Having said that, I did use that one to serve as an example of punching up rather than repression, and was wondering if it would elicit comment!

It’s a statement of defiant resistance against the agents of a murderous, armed force of occupation.

I doubt it is a fake, but most such things are hot air.

But for every so many hot air threats, you get a pipe bomb in a mailed package or a rampaging gun nut.

Let us hope it is a fake. It is a very scary environment. Let me know if there is any way I can provide support.
