Good afternoon members of the Human Rights
Watch, it has come to my attention that there is a main issue you should be
aware of, and that is race classification. The reason for me to share this
information with you is to help you understand what really race is, for what
reason it was created and if race is a biological myth or are we genuinely
different in all aspects. First of all, race is a cultural judgment of
classification by skin color, but also refers to the historic social conflict
and their interest. Race has a long legacy that was built around the concept of
color. For many, it has been embedded into the paradigm system. This seed was
planted into our mind and it is our duty to recognize and understand what it
was, and what it is now. The truth about race is that it does not exist. It was created during slavery and its purpose
is to manipulate, control and dominate society. This idea has brought many conflicts
throughout history and now a day it still has a moral impact toward some
members of our society. Race began as an ideology oppressed by the dominant group
during slavery. It has been used culturally, politically and socially to
control a majority group even though the governing group is actually a
minority. In those times, their mind were set to have inequality, and at the
same time fear of revolt against the colonized because they would probably be killed
on the spot. After emancipation slaves were legally free, but unfortunately
reality is that morally and mentally many of us are enslaved. Since some
members of our society are not morally free, there should be a voice that
should be heard, but specially understood. It has become to my willingness and obligation
to address you a plan of action, but above all, motivation.
