"I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content in their character."
-Dr Martin Luther King
[1963]
it makes me sick to think about these things and knowing they're still taking place. once long ago in peoples culture there is a gap in society. women in afghan territories are forced to cover up every single part of their bodies showing no skin except their eyes/face. Indians are not allowed to marry a man outside their race. if someone did so they were both put to death. women were even sold to marry and the father of the bride would get paid for it. even to this day people are not getting the right treatment they deserve.
[recent occurs] black muslims are allowed in malaysia to work and stay as long as they want. but black christians?? not quite the same. they're allowed in malaysia but are sent back after a year or so. A black muslim woman was sentenced to death just because she got pregnant without getting married. and the boyfriend ran away. is this justice?? it might not be totally related to Luther kings famous phrase but there is a connection. sometimes people judge others by the colour of their skin and not how deep a position their in/character. who will be so bold change history? yet again.
