Oh! This is so racist! Where is the White History Month? Or the Asian History Month?

Please don't point the finger at "racism"...

Racism begins with our families, parents, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, grandparents, people we admire, respect and love.

However, as we grow and mature we come to the realization that what we were told by our family when we were children were slanted lies base on their prejudices. We realize that most people are like ourselves and not so different and want the same things, like a home, steady work, a healthcare and schools for our children (if you travel you will see this). We realize that most people are of good hearts and goodwill.

This reminds me of a parable from the good book where a Levite and Priest come upon a man who fell among thieves and they both individually passed by and didn?t stop to help him.

Finally a man of another race came by, he got down from his beast, decided not to be compassionate by proxy and got down with the injured man, administered first aid, and helped the man in need.

Jesus ended up saying, this was the good man, this was the great man, because he had the capacity to project the ?I? into the ?thou,? and to be concerned about his fellow man.

You see, the Levite and the Priest were afraid, they asked themselves, ?If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me??

But then the Good Samaritan came by. And he reversed the question: ?If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him??

That?s the question before us. The question is not, ?If I stop to help our fellow man in need, what will happen to me?? The question is, ?If I do not stop to help our fellow man, what will happen to him or her?? That?s the question.

This current climate of blaming, mocking or demeaning others for our own short comings, is not new, we have had this before and we have conquered it. Remember ?Evil flourishes when good men (and women) do nothing?. Raise your voices with those of us who believe we are equal and we can win this battle again.

God bless all my brothers and sister that stood side by side with our brothers and sisters in need, when you saw a wrong you tried to correct it, you may argue the methods but not the reasons. I know God will not discriminate by country of origin, our sex, our orientation, color of our skin, or our religion as men do.

Tired of hearing about these "racist" events

June 4, 1977: An original poem composed for the 99th Commencement of Lake Forest College by Theodor Seuss Geisel (a.k.a Dr. Seuss). Eugene Hotchkiss III was president of Lake Forest College from 1970 to 1993.

On Dr. Seuss's piece of paper were these words:

My Uncle Terwilliger on
the Art of Eating Popovers

My uncle ordered popovers
from the restaurant's bill of fare.
And, when they were served,
he regarded them
with a penetrating stare...
Then he spoke great Words of Wisdom
as he sat there on that chair:
"To eat these things,"
said my uncle,
"you must exercise great care.
You may swallow down what's solid...
BUT...
you must spit out the air!"

And...
as you partake of the world's bill of fare,
that's darned good advice to follow.
Do a lot of spitting out the hot air.
And be careful what you swallow.
--Dr. Seuss
