Does Skin Colour Matter?

Does skin colour matter?

No! Skin colour doesn’t matter anymore then the colour of your hair or eyes.  We’re made up of the same organs! We have one brain, one heart and the same blood colour. So, why does skin colour have to matter?

All humans are equal! Do you think that is simple enough to understand? Since small, I was raised to think that God wants everyone to look slightly different in their own way, to create variety among human beings. However, not all people are raised to think like this. That’s a very sad fact and this brought to the slave trades and scientific racism of white Europe and America. Well, I’m not going to on that in this post. Maybe another post on that matter.

Let’s stick to the topic. Skin colour nothing more than a mere an indication of where a person's family originated. People originating from the lands close to the Equator have developed darker skin tones compared to those living closer to the earth poles. Those living close to the earth poles have paler skins. The reason for the difference is simple. Those living close to Equator are exposed to the Sun throughout the year, so darker skin containing more melanin is form protection from the harsh rays of the sun.

After several more generations, skin colour will no longer be an issue. In my opinion, in the future, the predominant hue of the majority will be something like, “coffee with cream” or “mocha” and that will finally bring racial discrimination and racial stereotyping to an end.

So how do we get over skin color? Just look past it! Anyone who has a different skin tone, is still human. They still have feelings, thoughts, and talents just like you do. Just because someone has a different skin tone doesn't make them an alien, unless they are neon green.  =D
