It neither kills outright nor inflicts apparent physical harm, yet the extent of its destructive toll is already greater than that of any war, plague, famine, or natural calamity on record - and its potential damage to the quality of human life and the fabric of civilized society is beyond calculation. For that reason this sickness of the soul might well be called the 'Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse.' Its more conventional name, of course, is dehumanization. ↗

We can remove the veil that shrouds our understanding and made us forget who we truly are. When we understand the core self and live from the core self, the myth of separation, concepts of separation, color, religion, class, intelligence…all these fade away. We are not our color. We are not our religion. We are not our sexual preference. We are human beings. We are spiritual beings. ↗

Racism does not have a good track record. It's been tried out for a long time and you'd think by now we'd want to put an end to it instead of putting it under new management. ↗

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was hailed for legally prohibiting racial discrimination in the private sector, but in effect, the legislation encouraged it. By allowing “racial minorities” to file lawsuits against employers for perceived bigotry, business owners began to view non-whites as riskier labor investments. Employers now had a legal incentive to discriminate. ↗
