We should be described as<br /> individuals first before the skin colour factor comes to play but that would mean changing ideologies( time travel) from centuries past.<br />Bottom line, be proud of your race,Country and individuality because it will ultimately rubb off on the World at large.

A word that I hear a lot these days....Corruption!!! A word that I hear a lot these days. A stitch in time saves nine as they say. Corruption has dug it's way to the hearts of many people in this Nation and I will state a few examples. A begger asking for alms and is visibly upset if you don't give him or her. A former student trying to process his or her transcript and the non academic staff shamelessly tell the person it would take a longer period of time for it to be transferred if something does not drop from the person's pockets. Children expecting you to relinquish hold of your change when you send them on errands. Government workers hiding the files or proposals of contractors until they promise to give them a cut and it goes on and on. Corruption is evident in our daily lives and the question is how do we curb it from the grass roots? It isn't only the Presidency or President that can fight this.
