The things that happened in the 60's and before it in all the world, are incredible, the cruelty and violence that was between the people just for have a different skin color. Those actions,apart of being stupid, tell us how limited and closed mind we are.
In our times, the problems are not that much extremes, but there is still violence and discrimination, being fat, thin, gay, even our skin color are a pretext to discriminate, if we are not equal to the girl next to us, we "deserve" being bully.
I found a song with a video that show in a perfect way the vision of the society to the people who has different style, likes or features and the vision of these people to the society.
What we don't understand as a society is the fact that all of us are people, all of us feel, and we should accept each other, that will make us grow as a society and as an individual person.
We are not alone in this mad world and we can make of this world a better one. Just change your mind, don't change you.
I must say I liked the image that says that each person is unique, I think is right and therefore we should all tolerate each other and not despise as sometimes (or most of the time) happens. Martin Luther King had a difficult struggle, always looking for the good of the neighbor; he may not have achieved "a lot" in his lifetime but, after his death, incredible events have happened as it is the U.S. with a president of a darker skin .
