Types of Slavery Today-No Hater Here

First and foremost, this is not a racist post, no hater here. We’re all one, it does not matter what the color of a person’s skin is. Travel around the world and you will find people who are from a different culture, do you hate this person right away? No.

Do you hate people before meeting them? You’re a lost cause. Hit the road, Jack.

You will hear about the most atrocious acts, and you won’t forget about their story or feel their pain.

This is one of my favorite songs, One by Mary J Blige and U2. The message is simple, we are not the same but we’re one. We carry each other.
