Racism truly is a pointless endeavour. There's really no point to it

Because at the end of the day we're all humans. We all belong to the same species regardless of our different ethnicities, cultures of skin pigmentation

Australia is now a very culturally diverse country – about half of us were born overseas or had one or more parents born overseas. When racial tensions develop, they don't just affect one or two of us - they affect us all… as neighbours, workmates, friends and fellow Australians.

Poland has an opportunity to emerge from this refugee crisis a more united, more accepting and economically strong society, but first they need to have tough conversations about immigration.

I hope they can pull through🙏

Yeah. Me too

I also pray for that.

When it's allowed to flourish, it lessens us as a people. Remember the Stolen Generations… the White Australia policy… these are the ugly times in our history. We need to be vigilant in making sure that these kinds of things are never allowed to happen again.

Wow

Amen 🙏 to that.

It'll just take a little patience and understanding

Years before Colin Kaepernick was born, Robinson wrote, ‘I cannot stand and sing the anthem. I cannot salute the flag; I know that I am a Black man in a white world.’

It's always disappointing to hear or see such cases, I mean we all are humans.

We are one. Colour and culture should not segregate us but rather boost our unity

There's no point to it. It's been a problem for hundreds of years and it's still an issue today.

Ongoing feelings of racism includes sadness, anger, depression and being left out

headaches, increased heart rate, sweating, trembling and muscle tension.

So sad😪

It's absolutely pointless. There's no end goal to it besides meaningless violence, pain and prejudice caused to the innocent coloured folks.

Expand full comment

There's no end goal

Racism also affects people's general wellbeing when they are denied equal access to jobs, services and education.

There's so much more to it

Lots of coloured folks out there have lost access to certain opportunities, medical care and promotions because of racist superiors

I'm very thankful for president Joe Biden. He's an advocate for the rights of all Americans. Both Caucasian and coloured alike. That's the real American dream. A safe, non-biased place where we can all live together peacefully

Racism in Australian workplaces often goes unaddressed. The Diversity Council Australia’s report provides some strategies to address these issues in workplaces.

And unfortunately, a lot of these issues will go unaddressed for decades to come. This is because of how society has decided to treat the minority groups and I not fair

However most of the time it takes a lot of riots and protests to get the voices of the people heard. Otherwise the perpetrators won't be brought to justice

I liked your ability to touch on a social aspect as racism in comparison to the market of smart contracts where race is not a factor to be considered. It’s a clever way to interpret this new wave of economic status building, but an important one at that.
