We are all the same

“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love, 1963

When black people arrived to different parts of the world they have left in Africa all that they have there, but they still have in their hearts their own traditions and their own languages, they were forcibly taken and they were turned into slaves.

Black people have been abused for a long time, they were treated like animals and they haven´t had rights.

But, with the pass of time they started to fight for their freedom, for a new way of living; In history there are lots of human lights, maybe you are wondering about what I´m referring with human lights; human lights are men or women that make a change, that have a revolutionary way to think, people that have a talent and improve it to help others, that is a Human light.

When black people got to Europe and America, they weren´t treated like people they were treated like merchandise.

The fight that black people started had produced lots of dies, lots of murders, but if that people doesn’t start with that resistance now we couldn´t saw them walking free on the street.

Lots of people even in the 21st century continue with a stupid and illogical racism, sometimes I wonder why people think intelligence or values are in the skin color, all the people in this world have the same opportunity to become successful, to work, to study.

Martin Luther King is the best example to describe a Human Light; he started with a pacific resistance in the United States, and he became an example that if we have a dream and we fight for it ,not with violence just with intelligence and courage we could make our dreams come true.

If we saw or search through history we could find lots of black people that are important for the history or for making changes in the world.

What shouldit be of this world without the great songs and choreographies of Michael Jackson, or maybe without the movements and rhythms of Celia Cruz?

What should had happened if Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela or even Wangari Maathai had not started with the Resistance?

Could we be proud of our soccer team without all that black men that play with heart and soul?

Lots of people think that black people are just good at sports and arts, but that’s an unconscious way to discriminated them because they are just equal as a white, yellow, brown or any color.

It is true that nowadays there are not the same discrimination to black people, but we still having discrimination not just for Afro-Americans, there are lots of discrimination to poor people, to gays or lesbian guys and girls, there are different ways of people discrimination, they have become part of minorities.

We have to stop discrimination, we have to stop with violence, we have to stop thinking we are better or we aren´t good enough, and we have to stop with a 

millenary thinking, because all of us are the same, all of us in this planet Earth, all of us deserve the same rights and the same obligations, all of us deserve to be free
