I wrote some newspaper articles supporting diversity and mocking intolerance.

The new millinium is over a decade old, yet children of mixed racial heritage in America are still being forced to choose one race to be identified by in an antiquated system of racial identification that harken back to the old "One drop rule" in the Jim crow era. It is sad that the children of this millenium be identified by the language of the pre-civil rights era, one of the darkest times in this nations history. There are occasions when filling out paperwork that one see's more progressive wording in the choices for the race question, but it is still a rarity in general.
I'll be blogging against hate, hate crimes and bullying as well as watching the local papers for any incidents.
I am an administrator for the site Obamasfootsoldiers.com, we began this site to promote faith, understanding, the true American promise of equality and peace, and that we are all children of the great Spirit, hate cannot exist in the same space as Love and love will always trump Hate !!! I was very active in the Presidents campaign, I am a disabled Viet Nam Vet and I will fight with every fibre of my being to leave this world in a better state than when I came into it !!!
I teach to Jews as well as those who are not Jewish of true Talmudic Rabbinic Judaism. This is based on the G!D of love, forgiveness, mercy, tolerance, and for all of us to behave to one another in this way.
The Judaism that most are familiar with, one that bemoans the holocaust that makes Jews rebell against victimization and anti Semitism, but then allows them to become victimizers either as supporters of war and intolerance in the State of Israel, or to their own fellow Jews, as well as to those who are not Jews, is not Jewish behavior nor G!dful behavior.
I teach in my home, in public forums, in letters to the editor, in news paper and magazine columns, on my blog, in my two books (www.JewishSpiritualRenewal.org), and when I travel and speak, of more than tolerance for one another, but of pluralism and love for one another.
