People are still talking in terms of race or ethnic groups!

It’s the 90’s, and by now if we think less in terms of the interest of our group we could go on into solving the real problems of this earth. Hunger and the destruction of the earth are our pressing common problems.

There is no white-devil race, no inferior race, no chosen race, no superior race nor no innocent race. We are people who generally look alike and basically live alike. By now, we know that if people of any race are given the same opportunities, they will behave like everyone else.

I could give a darn about saving my heritage, or helping just my group or what my group has or has not achieved. I know what I have achieved. I belong to no race or ethnic group. I am just another member of the universe.
