    Tanikka Paulk wrote a new post, How to Deal With Racism and Discrimination 8 years, 3 months ago

    Racism is no thing of the past. Racism is alive and well. Unfortunately there’s a certain group that believe the world belongs to just that specific race. Impossible. God didn’t create one race. If He wanted one […]

    • racsim happens everywhere, not only in america but asian countries too.
      The problem is the government, the prime minister who are in favor of this unfairness that had caused the public to be like this.

    • Racism might still be present up to this day but the development of erasing this have been in good rating. Unlike before, people have the voice now.

    • Racism is the “Hatred” of one person by another, based on the belief that that person is inferior because of their skin color, language, customs, place of birth, or other similar traits.Racism has existed throughout human history, often providing justification for one group’s dominance over another.

      Most people, even if they do not approve of overt racism, nonetheless have some kind of prejudice against another group of people, and these prejudices can lead to hurt, anger, and even violence at both the personal and societal levels. Overcoming your own racism requires a personal long journey,

      I think we must take these steps to stop racism all over the world as
      Self-assess. An important first step in your personal journey to overcome racial prejudice is to take stock of yourself. …
      Research the topic. …
      Stop using racial slurs. …
      Avoid cultural appropriation. …
      Be vigilant about systemic and invisible racism. …
      Engage in mental exercises.
      Racism is nothing but hallucination of mind and springs from jealousy and reed springs from evil past and inferiority complex and nothing else as I have studied.

      We’ve all been there. You see or hear something racist and you want to say or do something but you’re not sure how to go about it.

      It takes guts to stand up to racism – but you should never put your physical safety at risk. There are plenty of things you can do to make a difference that don’t involve confrontation.

    @shavkat I’ve discovered that if I reduce the volume to zero on the video and change it from HD to the lowest possible quality, these changes will be saved for new instances of the video during a session. But if I move away from LB for a while and I later come back to it, the video resets to 100% volume and HD.

    So there is a bit of relief, but…[Read more]

    @shavkat The problem is that the video tells us all things we already know. It doesn’t get them new users, and it doesn’t help the existing users. It’s a really great idea but they’re misusing it.

    Some are unwilling to accept people from different ethnic backgrounds. Absolutely ridiculous. No matter what one’s thoughts are about “diversity.” There is no changes when it comes to diversity. If that’s what […]

    • Diversification is the name of the game. Sticking to one’s own culture makes one a ‘stick in the mud’

    • This has been the issue in the past up to this time, but most of us know how to deal with diversities.In a classroom for example, it is hard to teach diversified pupils/ students, but that was before, this time , there is less struggle for the technology helps a lot in solving the crises of diversities issues.

    Life is filled with the ups and downs, the good and the bad, the unpredictable occurrences. We will go through trials and sometimes lots of trials at one time. We’re equipped to get through those trials. We’ll be […]

    • yes, life is so unpredictable, there are ups and downs, we still have to go on living

      look forward in a positive way, days ahead should turn out bright

    • Quite motivating, and makes us think and ponder and see challenges as learnings in our long life journey.

    • Even though I walk through the valleys of death am not alone I see a light that shines bright because at the end of every tunnel there is a light, and there is no situation that is permanent. I may be down today but that does not determine where I will be tomorrow. There ar3 so many things that we go through this life that can make someone give up so easily but we should never now down no matter what but guess what that’s what we do when things get so tough we opt to now down and say to ourselves I can’t take this anymore it’s really putting me down, instead of sting even though I may feel like nothing is working I will push myself harder and see how far I can go. We sometimes distrust ourselves so much that we don’t achieve our goals. Why is it so hard to tell oneself look, you can do this just a little more is all you need and you will get there. Why is that so hard? It’s because we don’t have faith in ourselves. When we challenge ourseelves we are more likely to do better, things may nit work now but who knows about tomorrow? Brighter days await us ahead push on and you will never regret it.

    • Some people get brighter days in the beginning, some get in the middle and some get in the end of life and it is life and life principle on earth for earthly men.

      I think that our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace.

      It’s one of those dumb days where nothing’s really wrong but nothing’s really right either and the sky can’t even choose to be white or gray.

      Some days you get up and you already know that things aren’t going to go well. They’re the type of days when you should just give in, put your pajamas back on, make some hot chocolate and read comic books in bed with the covers up until the world looks more encouraging. Of course, they never let you do that.

    • We must surround ourselves with people who uplift and motivate us. If not, we will be stuck in our rut and even be stomped deeper into the ground.

    Whenever one is trying to do something that so many may consider out of the norm or something they’re unwilling to do. The resistance will come and when it does one has to put on the armor because all sorts of […]

    • One needs to be strong to go off the beaten track as there will be many who would think that whatever is being tried would be a futile exercise. History has many such examples.

    • The key is the remain “determined” and find common ground. Those who will be in the line of resistance are doing a disservice to themselves. Some may perceive that they’re gaining by trying to rip a person or persons apart. Society is filled with all sorts of people and sometimes we will have to deal with those who are disagreeable most of the time. What’s purpose will be no matter how many people are in disagreement. Be blessed.

    • The photo itself is giving inspiration to the person who feel in despair. Sometimes we just need to look around be motivated in our life and don’t just sitting in one corner.

    • In this world you cannot live without adversities. we cannot live without friends and enemies they are essential in our lives. just like we have friends who will help us in life and at other times they mislead us, so are our enemies. there are those who will help us and there are those that will mislead. So we all need to be determined to be able to live a good and straight life. i like your article very informative.

    • Those who are harassed by others are those who have weak will power and intention because it does so due to lack of knowledge is the main cause of it. Read the history of a revolutionary person he is criticized by others bitterly at home and out of home but he does not go the wrong path and follows his mission of bringing revolution in our society. At last he succeeds in his mission on the ground of will power and nothing else.

      It is said intention brings fruits in physical shape. Sometimes you wish to go for a walk, knowing how good it is for your health and how wonderful you feel afterwards, yet, you feel too lazy and prefer to watch TV instead. You may be aware of the fact that you need to change your eating habits or stop smoking, yet, you do not have the inner power and persistence to change these habits.

      Does this sound familiar? How many times have you told yourself, “I wish I had will power and self discipline”? How many times have you started some new activity and quit after a while? We all have had experiences like these.

      Everyone possesses some habits or addictions they wishes they could overcome, such as smoking, excessive eating, laziness, procrastination or lack of assertiveness. Developed will power and self discipline bestow the inner strength to overcome any negative habit. They make a great difference in your life. They can make you a winner in whatever you do.

      Will power is the ability to control unnecessary and harmful impulses. It is the ability to overcome laziness and procrastination. It is the ability to arrive to a decision and follow it with perseverance until its successful accomplishment. It is the inner power that overcomes the desire to indulge in unnecessary and useless habits, and the inner strength that overcomes inner emotional and mental resistance for taking action. It is one of the corner stones of success, both spiritual and material.

      Self-discipline is the companion of will power. It endows the stamina to persevere in whatever one does. It bestows the ability to withstand hardships and difficulties, whether physical, emotional or mental. It grants the ability to reject immediate satisfaction for something better.

      The human being is full of inner unconscious, or partly conscious, impulses. People sometimes say or do things they later regret saying or doing. On many occasions people do not think before they talk or act.

      By developing these two powers, one becomes conscious of the inner subconscious impulses, and gains the ability to reject them when they are not for his/her own good.

    • If you’re being intimidated, take it as a compliment. You must be really important and the work you’re doing must be important too! Why else would they try to discourage you? 🙂

    • Everyone has dream in life but dreams must be practical so that the dreamer may achieve the dreams in practical lie. I have spent too much to know what is the reality of dream. There are two types of dreams: the first dream we see while sleeping and the second dream we have for future. Both are important in life.

      Have you ever woke up from a dream and then after a few minutes REALLY woke up from a dream? Most people who have experienced these sorts of ‘false awakenings’ report an “eerie feeling” that accompanies the false awakening once they realize that they are dreaming.

      The eerie-ness is not surprising given that the experience undermines the belief we all usually have that we have direct contact with reality. It is certainly a shock to realize that you can be going about your day when in fact you are only dreaming.

      If you or someone you know experiences these sorts of dreams please describe them in the comment box below or send them to me at my email. Perhaps an appeal for these sorts of dreams on the Web will give us a large enough corpus to begin a real set of analyses.
