In Times of Racial Tension, Be a Bridge of Kindness

This is a brief reaction to some news articles I’ve read recently on racial violence. Years after Martin Luther King’s beacon “I Have a Dream” speech, tensions are alive and well. I think the best way to for an individual to remedy this is by being kind to other races. Yes I believe it’s that simple. When everyone reaches out a little, it has a ripple effect of peace. We could also use the help of the media. So if you work in the media, give us more visuals of whites hanging out with blacks, Asians with Hispanics, all the combinations mixed. We stare in awe at rainbows for a reason. Basically, whatever race you are, embrace the other. If we all do this, stereotypes can in time be erased. Every person should be accepted for who they are not the race they are born into.
