What would you do if you lived with genocide?

If the country you lived in slaves your people changed your name, your culture, your god, your life!! Let's a international cult that hunts your people because of your skin? If you was to be put in cages to be looked and treated as animal or you was pets or pest to these people. What if you lived in a modern, civilised country where now you have some rights now but now these cult members are still walking around with high power. Your people in this suppose civilised country your people get killed by the peace maker and the law let's it slide as the media cover it up and continues to lie and call you animals! So you and your people living in this world where law is made where mankind have common sense, knows right from wrong. Your people get murdered by these cults members and justice isn't served. No peace no justice.

I would not call them cult members.

I think the greatest challenge is reminding myself that even though the problems are the result of ethnic discrimination and racism, it is not all of them who are contributing to it, just a minority. The discourse has to be balanced emotionally because too much anger can fire back.

I engage in peaceful activism and empower my people by contributing to projects that create jobs and economic growth among my own tribe. I have seen first hand what can happen in a context where violence is normalized and I do believe that money and education give us access to more powerful positions to make real difference, long term.
