racism and bigotry: we all share the same blood, regardless of our ethnicity.

"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war."

Watch Martin Luther King Jr.'s Nobel Peace Prize speech, where he accepted the award on behalf of the American civil rights movement: https://bit.ly/3bJCQuc [Martin Luther King Jr. held his acceptance speech in the auditorium of the University of Oslo on 10 December 1964.]

I've never grasped the concept of racism and bigotry; it's true that we all share the same blood, regardless of our ethnicity. According to God's word in Acts 17:26, He created all nations from a single blood. Love is the antidote to hate, as Martin Luther King Jr. wisely stated in 1963's "Strength to Love."

Believing in a brighter future devoid of racism and war, inspired by King's words, let's reject negativity and embrace hope. By working together and facing challenges with kindness, we can create a world that is united, understanding, and collaborative. Choosing the path of positivity and inclusivity signifies a rejection of darkness, paving the way for a better journey ahead.

Putting an end to war, fascism, terrorism, atrocities, abusive force, mass intimidation, massive fraud, mass delusion, resource and wealth hoarding, unnecessary divisions of humanity, and the resulting conflicts is crucial. This is, in my humble opinion, why King was assassinated. His three identified social evils in the U.S. persist after five decades. Contemporary documentaries and biographies, drawing from new interviews and FBI documents, reveal the animosity King faced, particularly from Hoover. The government sought to eliminate any leader capable of mobilizing masses against its policies.

King's poignant speech resonates today, and one can only wish he were still here to guide us through the challenges of the next generation. His call for peace and brotherhood remains relevant, prompting contemplation on what he would say about crises in regions like Israel and Palestine or Ukraine and Russia. The enduring presence of war, racism, sectarianism, misogyny, and fascism underscores the need for love to counteract these destructive behaviors.
