Racism.

What did 2 blacks call a white man? - Master. What did 10 blacks call a white man? - Coach. What did 100 blacks call a white man? - Warden. What do millions of white men and women call a black man? - Mr. President. A step in the right direction.
jesse crouch: Diversity in the USA →
jessecrouch:
I really took the diversity of the United States for granted. That whole “The United States is the melting pot” business they taught us in school means a lot more to me now that I’ve spent 4 months away from it all. I heard it all the time and thought “yeah yeah, I get it”. It’s really incredible…

Notes from the 2011 Singularity Summit

The Druid's Grove: Origins of Religions →
driftingdruid:
The different belief systems are parallel to our own individuality as rational beings. We believe what we believe because it suits who we are: our philosophies, deities we may or may not believe in, rituals we enact; they’re all part of who we are. You could place two people side by side who come…

Often we observe certain behavioural symptoms in a person, without being able to pinpoint exactly what the problem or extreme behaviour actually is. How could you if you have no medical or any job-related experience as a psychiatrist, psychologist or psychotherapist, which brings along the specific insight and awareness of behavioural patterns. Most of the time having a disastrous personal or work...

Le Blogue: Vreemd bericht in het Parool “EU moet christenen elders beter beschermen”
De Europese Unie moet zorgen dat christenen elders in de wereld beter worden beschermd. Dat vinden de christendemocraten in het Europees Parlement. De Europese Commissie en EU-buitenlandchef Catherine Ashton moeten de bescherming van christelijke minderheden onderdeel maken van het buitenlands...

I could easily have dismissed this article, but I realized that this is exactly why we have to share and defend good journalism from pulp, gossip, slander etc.

10 Ways to Overcome Obstacles To Success →
thetaoofdana:
Success is a broad term. My definition of success? Having a balanced life where you are able to have fun, live with gratitude AND work with passion and overcome obstacles, being proud of every day whether its average, extraordinary or totally uneventful. That to me is successful. If that were the new American Way we would not be worrying about the 1%.

They don’t do bows in Holland. Actually, they don’t do pretty gifts period. They wrap em’, tape em’ and write who it’s for ON THE PAPER. Yes, this is a big deal.

I envy people who get to live in neighborhoods that have strong cultural roots. And I envy people who grew up in diverse families.

ATCK, What Does That Stand For?
iamatck:
ATCK- Adult Third Culture Kid
Yes, it is true. Eventually we TCK’s grow up. However, there is a term for us, even as we become adults!
Like a Living Language new words are founded and daily added to our vocabulary if not a generation or better a society is near extinction or already gone. Like Latin it was once the basis but at present no more.

Life all around Asia a little bit closer to home
Seeing the world in full bloom of diversity while observing people in their cultural habitat and noticing we all emote the same way. We share passions, dreams with different outcomes and have high hopes for a better tomorrow. We all work and live for peace and stability home and abroad, because without balance there’s only chaos.
