Love and be Loved

Growing up in the 80's made me feel privileged to not have seen slavery and the impact of it on society. just reading about the lost rights made me feel ashamed for some reason, although i had nothing to do with it. god made us for a reason and for man kind to try to judge other on their raice, skin tone or even where we come from is beyond me. i may sound like a hippie but, love and be loved for who you are. treat people the way you want to be treated and the world will be a better place.
