Colored Entrance….
When I saw this picture, something ignited inside of me that rarely happens. An emotion of sadness, and a built in reaction, that we live in a different world. Yes, we are evolving in a culture that once dominated discriminating against someone because of color, gender, social status, and even responsibilities. The thought of being treated fairly by the content of my character, once again is being plagued by societies need to judge. Judgement gives the character of you being right and someone else being wrong. When this character is exemplified by a group, it is distorted, and borderline racist, yet gives the one who is judging, Power.

L3GACI, understands that, Culture and lifestyle strongly affect behavior . One’s lifestyle is a collection of behaviors and habits that one is surrounded and subjected to. One’s culture is the setting in which one acts out behaviors and habits that make up one’s lifestyle. Just for one moment, imagine yourself in this picture. Not black or white, man or woman, child or adult, but a human being. Now look at the sign. If you belong to a group of people who judge others, watch this….

I truly hope your perception of judging others changes, and you stand up and take a positive action in your community, and not one of separating yourself. It’s your L3GACI, what are you leaving behind?
