Say no to any discrimination.

in Steem For Pakistanlast month

A group of kids were playing football in the school ground, it was their break time.
They looked all familiar and friends.

In a couple of minutes, a boy who was looking different approached them. He was sitting silently on a bench and watching them with a smile on his face. It was clear that he liked football, he was enjoying their game.

He approached them to let him also play. He looked shy and hesitant. If it wasn't for football he would have never dared to approach his new class fellows, he was a new student in this school.

The group of kids stopped playing for a while to relax and drink water. When they saw that kid they immediately averted their eyes with frowns on their foreheads.

The kid got discouraged but he didn't go back instead, he took a few steps toward them. He told them that he also likes football and would love to play.

One of their group members heard it and replied: Take your way, we don't play with people like you.

The kid's smile faded and he asked: but why?

A group member said: Do I have to tell you the reason? Don't you know? You Negro

His other group members also paid attention to what was happening.

That kid replied: if I had known it why would I ask you? I seem fit to play this game.

Their group leader replied this time:

You have proved your low intellect boy by not getting our clues. My ancestors were right, you black people are of no intellect and worth. I don't get why they gave you admission to a school made for white people.

And you are Black

We don't play with black people. Don't you ever dare get around us again. Now if you have got your answer, set aside. We have to continue our game.

The black kid was so heartbroken by their harsh words. Tears were coming from his eyes, he saw himself stepping back, going away from white people who think they own this world.

But they weren't that wrong. White people are ruling this world. And people like me have to start a trend #blacklivesmatter to be heard and seen.

He told everything to his parents. They didn't say anything against that group of kids. Instead, they advised him to be friendly in his class and study hard.

He heard his parents saying that your color doesn't decide your worth but it's your character and what you do to others that matter

The next day he reached school a bit late. The first lecture was by the teacher who was the most disciplined one in their class. He doesn't forgive anyone late in his period.

He was running towards the class when he heard the thud, ahhh sound behind him.

It was a boy who fell on a rock and got his knees injured. His other friends didn't stop to see their friend, it was the fear of the punishment from their teacher for being late.

He(boy on the floor) called his friends to get him up.

Oh be a man, you're not that injured, get yourself up, or be ready to get real injured for being late. His friend replied while running towards his destination.

The black kid was stopped to see this from a distance. He realized that it was the same group leader who insulted him yesterday.

He thought that karma had served him well and continued to walk towards the class.

He stopped midway, his parent's sermons were echoing in his ears.

Be friendly towards everyone. How you treat others decides your worth

After taking a deep breath...

He turned back and approached the boy who was looking in pain. He helped him to get up.

Surprisingly that white kid didn't throw his hand away even after looking who he was.

People forget discrimination when they get in trouble.

The black kid felt empowered and helped him sit at the table and offered him water. After watching scratched on his knees he took out a mini first aid box from his bag.

His mother has given it since the beginning of his school time to treat him and others if calamity hits.

He silently put plasters on both of his knees.

White boy's face turned red both with shame and pain.

He slowly thanked the black kid and apologized to him for yesterday.

Both got up for their class.

Their teacher saw this scene from the window of his office and went even before them to the class.

He let them in without punishing them and called them to come forward.

He patted them on their shoulders and asked the injured one if he was ok.

He turned towards the black on and appreciated him for using his intellect on time and dressing his friend.

You both are friends, right?

Both kids looked at each other, smiled, and nodded their heads.

Yes, We are friends.

Their teacher told the whole class about the scene he witnessed between those kids.

He said if I say I am a proud teacher of these kids then words wouldn't do justice, to how much contentment I am feeling, after seeing two kids of different colors becoming friends for the first time in this school.

I want to tell you one thing today before starting our class:

In this world, people will try to create factions to divide you based on your color and cast. These people are your real enemies who spread hatred and discrimination in this world.

Divided we all Fall.

A Real man will always hold anyone accountable based on their values and actions, and not their color and status in society.

When you grow up and start your profession as a doctor, lawyer, judge, or politician, remember one thing:

Never do injustice to anyone solely based on their skin color and social status

You have the choice and power to break the cycle of hatred and contradiction our ancestors lived for.

You are the children who can bring change in this world by living above these factions.

A White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action.
~Last Sermon of Prophet of all Mankind.

United we win.

United we stand and divided we fall. This story is one is really love and enjoyed every bit of it. In our own small ways and in our daily living, we should learn to do good to people we know and those we don't even know. Good will do more for us as a society than evil could ever try, I admire your sweet heart. Keep preaching good no matter our colours, religious or social status, hugs sis 🤗

Hi amina . Hopefully you are doing good!

This small incident is actually describing a much bigger truth. Indeed, all lives matter. In this incident, this teacher's speech reminds me of the opening ceremony of the last FIFA World Cup. In the memorable conversation between Morgan Freeman and Ghanem al-Muftah, the reference to the Quranic verse and Morgan's comments on it. What a wonderful conversation.

A round of applause for your effort. Good luck for contest.

I've been discrimated a lot and it's not just white against black. Asians discriminate a lot and so do black people. I've witnessed it in my own family and see it today.
How black, yellow, red, blue or whatever colour you like to give someone treats white isn't okay either. Sorry, butfilthy white, potatohead, cheesehead it's all insulting too.

Besides if it comes to discrimination the biggest group are still women worldwide.

The language I those children used? No child uses it, children are colour blind. This can only be the result of what they heard others say, not per se the parent.

To be honest I am sick and tired of talking about discrimination since nothing will change.
Do you know it happens among animals too? Perhaps the question is: Why do you feel threatened by someone who looks different (it's normal and instinct to like what one is familiar with) is this a lack of self-esteem or is there a real threat?

I noticed those who shout the loudest about discrimination are rarely the ones who are. In most cases they are not even bullied and abusing some anchestors of hundreds of years ago for own benefi? No respect.

Every culture has an element of racism. Everyone's ancestors did the dirty work, we can see their result of what is happening in the world with colored people as well as white people.

Both parties are just here to defend their side only.

It's not that black has superiority over white or vice versa, the thing is discrimination whether we are black or white.

Being an asian and a colored person i can only tell tales from my side and how colored people are treated.

You are free to tell discrimination you have seen in your life or around you with white people.

And if you share your side of the story no one will criticize you that harshly, as i have felt here.

We are open to discuss anything but not by creating disturbing vibes that makes you doubt the whole idea.

Hope it clears out.

 last month 

I am creating disturbing vibes? I am not sure if I understand what you mean but am sure you know I am not white. I think it's better to rest the topic because it doesn't feel comfortable to me or like a discussion.
I am sure I am criticized as hard as you do ☹️ unfortunately.
If you believe I live in an openminded country, I am liked here you are wrong.

🤔

 last month 

but am sure you know I am not white.

No, i didn't know that. But does that matter? Absolutely not.
I felt connected to you for the vibes that i used to get after reading your posts.
I would always prefer vibes over anyone's color, cast, nationality and whatever.

Because in the end:

We forget everything but never how someone made us feel.

Feelings and vibes never lie

 last month 

I hope that remains since that's how I feel about you but your last response confused me.

But it's okay.
A great day to you.
