I'd just like to know---I am from a country in the Middle East. My people have been enslaved, raped, beaten and killed by neighboring states. Let's remember that racism is going on RIGHT NOW!!! In Iran, Syria, etc... People keep talking about "Well, why aren't you white people doing anything to stop racism?" I ask you, "Why aren't you AMERICANS doing anything to help people in the Middle East???" I'll tell you why--it's too hard to make a significant difference in the world. I just wish we could all make little changes in the way we treat others--all those little changes could add up to a few big changes.

When I was in Berlin a few years ago, I saw a portion of the Berlin Wall that is still standing (as a reminder). One of the sections has painted on it the following phrase, in German and then English (and it's one of my fave quotes ever):
Many small people, who in many small places, do many small things can alter the face of the world
