All I know for sure is that issues like race, like class, are always best approached with compassion and open-mindedness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute accepts people of any race. We don't discriminate against anyone. We teach people to reach their highest potential. I set examples by the way I lead my life.
I believe there are certainly racial problems in this country, and I believe that peaceful solutions can help bring the races together.
The greatest problem is not with flat-out white racists, but rather with the far larger number of Americans who believe intellectually in racial equality but are quietly oblivious to injustice around them.
I think compassion is an important quality in people in general.
Of course, individuals vary greatly within each racial group and should be treated as such.
We need to have a discussion on race, but we also need to have a discussion on how we are treating poor and minority people in this country.
Race and class are rendered distinct analytically only to produce the realization that the analysis of the one cannot proceed without the other. A different dynamic it seems to me is at work in the critique of new sexuality studies.
It is sometimes difficult to view compassion and loving kindness as the strengths they are.
It's interesting to take a look at people who deal with prejudice on a daily basis - it's been a real eye opener for me.
Christian virtues unite men. Racism separates them.
