People of colour...
...like me...I am white! Equal to those of you with another colour! Those that call themselves 'coloured' in this forum must look like a rainbow! I've never liked that term and those of you that use it are inadvertantly saying 'I'm coloured, different from what should be the right or normal colour!' Or maybe you think you are special and deserve to call yourself coloured...who knows!

Tolerance is not about colour anyway, it's about acceptance of culture, understanding of belief systems and the interpretation of right and wrong. And that poster is very wrong on every level!

The fact that colour is still used as a front for people's differences only shows we are many generations away from seeing (thus never in our lifetime seeing) a change in attitudes.

Think about this...

If there's a mighty power of beings up there somewhere, I bet they're contemplating whether to send another messiah and/or another prophet, but worried that if they do we might all bitch about it for another 2,000 years! Maybe he (or she) will be the colour of a rainbow!

That's my thoughts!
