Why So Much Drama over Diversity?
“We are all equal in the fact that we are all different. We are all the same in the
fact that we will never be the same. We are united by the reality that all colours
and all cultures are distinct & individual. We are harmonious in the reality that
we are all held to this earth by the same gravity. We don’t share blood, but we
share the air that keeps us alive. I will not blind myself and say that my black
brother is not different from me. I will not blind myself and say that my brown
sister is not different from me. But my black brother is he as much as I am me.
But my brown sister is she as much as I am me.” C JoyBell C IN DIVERSITY
THERE IS BEAUTY AND STRENGTH
If this is true and I believe it is why do we turn against those who
think different than us? As hard as this may be to believe for
some of us we don’t all hear or see things the same way. At
times one may see a different story in a picture than what another may see OR two people may hear a different message from a
song; even though they both listened to the same song the message may have come across different.
Two people can read a book and again their reviews may be
different. I a m a black female and have two sisters but we are all
different. All three of us are diverse in our thinking and lifestyles,
but we are still sisters.
“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.” ― Maya Angelou

What we have to do... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity
and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.

I think it’s easy to fall into my-way-is-the-best-way tendencies;
we trust ourselves and know we’ll do the best job, right? But
doing so deprives us of a world of creative opportunity, learning,
and growth. As we continue opening ourselves up to others and
learning what makes them tick, as well as sharing our own passions, let’s celebrate our collective beauty and remember that
we need each other, always. ~kenblanchard~
Once we realize that we are not the “Glue” that can hold things
together then we will be the better off for it. We are a body of
diverse people who love Michael Jackson and are doing our
best to keep his “Legacy” alive. A body is made up of many
members who have different functions within that body. There
should be no drama where there is diversity. Different is good.
Since we are an enormous and unique community it is expected
that we will have the same amount of ideas, cultures and beliefs.
WHY the untoward excitement over diversity which is so
“Good”?

Do you have a story, event, spiritual devotion,
poem, photos/artwork/cartoons you’ve created,
an advocacy or vindication project, a human
interest story, children’s project, legacy project,
special video, someone you’d like to remember,
a book or a support group you’d like to share?
We’d be delighted to promote your project or
group in this fan based magazine.
Our goal is to support the Michael Jackson fan
community by sharing your journey with Michael before and after June 25, 2009.
We are very interested in your creations and
reading about your journey with Michael. Your
story may be that prescription that encourages
beginners to move forward with the gift that
they have been holding onto out of trepidation
to share.
What you have to offer is important to us. We
consider no person/project to be mediocre. If
you wish for anonymity, we will honor that request. Let us promote you or your project in
the “What’s REALLY Going ON” magazine.
It’s all for L.O.V.E.
