I strongly feel that it shouldn't be needed at all across the board as to what nationality or race a person is in order to give and receive equality and respect and endearing love throughout the world.
I do acknowledge that our cultures have a major role in forming our original beliefs, but I strongly believe that we are all created and born to learn in this world.
So regardless of what culture you were born in, you have the heart within you to start and to complete a change for the betterment of your own personal outcomes.
If you have the heart and desire to spread love to all, and equality to all and respect to all, then you will be spreading each of those traits and qualities throughout the world, even if you never leave the place/city you were born into.
I whole heartedly agree with Al Sharpton and Paul and Shirley and Hill that we all, and that means of every race and religion and family background and status in soceity, MUST, completely erase the "N Word" from our languagessssss.
And when ANYONE of all colors and religions say " The N word is here to stay, it'll never go away, or it can't go away because of......." then they are only stamping their imprint into the continuence of the N word living on through more generations.
I look forward to the wonderful full generation, when the N word is no longer remembered, no longer referenced to for any reason, no longer covered w/ excuses for it's uses, and is only referenced as a historical fact of our American history.
In careful instruction as history beginning in our youngest classrooms, it can never be intertwined or rebirthed with new life in any further gernerations or portrayed as a word in our languages here in America annnnnnnnd to include all countries in the world.
All the combined generations and ages of people living right now are the people who are responsible right now for the further use or complete 100% non use of the N word period!
Each person makes the decision to use or never use this word and in doing so, must also take on the results and consequences that will ripple either a positive reaction or a negatuve reaction.
I am choosing to make the decision to never ever use the word or allow it to be used in my company in order to end the use of it completely in our entire world, not just in America.
When you travel around the world, people need to know of its original roots and the truth behind it's meaning, that it is not a cool slang word.
It's sickening to know that some countries view and use this same word as a word that is considered cool among young people.
The audience in this show made it clear that regardless of color or nationality and age, they do not believe in the need for equality still to this day, and are still sheltered from truly knowing each other on a social level.
The audience was an embarrassment for me to watch and saddened me to the point of tears, those that spoke from the audience, all colors, did not show any progression in our society.
And all of us should be ashamed, ashamed to say our nation is one of equality, when the reality is we have accomplished some equality attrtibutes but we still have much more to go across the entire country, and in allllllll races and in all homes.
It's still impossible for the majority of Americans of all colors, to see the other persons side even though they may not have walked in the shoes of a slave or in the shoes of a slave owner or in any situation of judgment that was based on your gender, lifestyle, race or ethnicity or even the neighborhood you grew up in....and that is the embarrassment and saddest, heartbreaking reality.
Americans need to put themselves in their minds and hearts, into the shoes of the many other races that live in our country and allow themselves to always remain open to others, without any mindset of their past or teachings or examples.
America See with your Heart and not your Eyes
Hear with your heart and not your Ears
Love with your heart and not your beliefs
Share with your heart and not your deceptions
Put an end to racism with your heart and
show it in your own life freely holding no one hostage to the past.
America move on hand in hand
To a new generation of respect and encouraging words.
And then watch and rejoice when you see the greatest change our country will make in history!
This two-syllable expression is arguably the most divisive word in society. Dr. Phil tackles this touchy topic with help from a panel of outspoken luminaries: civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton; legendary comedian and writer Paul Mooney; CSI actor and author Hill Harper; comedian Sheryl Underwood and conservative radio talk show host Michael Graham. First, is there a double standard that allows African-Americans to use this sensitive word, while non-blacks are forbidden? The debate heats up when Rachel, a white guest, says she calls her husband the N-word all the time. Then, should hip-hop artists be censored or fined for using the N-word in their songs? Becky says rappers promote negative stereotypes with their lyrics, but find out who Rev. Al Sharpton thinks should face the music. Plus, does tone or intent make a difference when using the N-word? See what Dr. Phil thinks and share your thoughts here.
