This year marks the 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS! This is a great mark for PoC’s (People of Color) and for people in general. And on that deceleration this is what the preamble said
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the commonpeople,
Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,
Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,
Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,
Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,
Here Is a video that show how racism should be handled. The point of the video was to show that no one should be discriminated against and being rude gets you nowhere. I think they should have made another video as well about the history of the declaration. I believe that videos like this are necessary and videos like these make it plain for those who are still in denial about this matter.
Racism is still alive today, regardless of how many peace conferences, and rally’s we have its still gonna be around. Unless we stop teaching hate to our children and remove that hate from our hearts we cant move forward as a people. If you like to read this declaration click this link below.
