My intent is
to provide analytical tools for our society who believes in one common cause, communal
transformation, one country and a unified multicultural population whose hopes
and aspirations for justice, freedom and opportunity are similar regardless of
ethnic, origin or religious practices.
However, change
must ignite within each and every one of us before we can have social change. If you want the world to change, “be the
change you want to see in the world.”
–Gandhi. The political state of our nation is not the focus of the
next chapter in Australia, but rather the social change result of the
individual change we must ask of all Australians. What are the everyday needs
of the average individuals? From their
wants and needs, can we construct a system able to grow concurrently with the
minds of the educated and a productive workforce? “We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat
now.” –Martin Luther King, Jr.To satisfy everyone’s hopes and desires, we need to bring the ideals of multiculturalism and reconciliation into the limelight with genuine change imminent rather than window dressing and without just allowing it to glide around every so often like a cyclone. Our rainbows of races, particularly blacks, need to seize the opportunity in our public service fields and entertainment industries on major mass Media outlets.
I see this
on daily bases that the educated and talented individuals settling for ordinary
jobs like driving taxis, working in the cleaning industry, security firms and
various manufacturing companies, unfortunately, hanging up their years of
educational degrees to rot.
The new
generation of talented black Africans and indigenous people who are going
through tough times showcasing their talent, from one location to the next in
various local venues, must be given impartial opportunity without racial rules and
must be accepted to suitably participate in the Australian media and given the
chance to take part in political affairs locally and federally, if we have to
live in a cohesive and all-inclusive racially undivided culture. The recent controversial,
maybe for some, SBS documentary series, “Struggle Street” unearths the
devastating impact of disparities that have been evident across several
Australian suburbs for so long.
“Our ability to reach unity in
diversity will be the beauty and test of our civilization.” –Gandhi
We need to
practice the primary principle of reconciliation… give and take and take and
give. In a give and take process, how much one is willing to give determines
how much one gets. Therefore, if we want respect, respect others. If we want
freedom, let others to be free for equal share. If we want equality, treat
others equally.
We need to
create a society based on democratic values, social justice and fundamental
human rights; people could be judged by the content of their character rather
than their ethnicity. Maybe the outdated forms of governance and beliefs of
paying our allegiance to an overseas head of state need to change. The time to honour
the principle of democracy is ripe. Now
is the TIME FOR CHANGE to elect government “of
the people, by the people, for the people”.
“I'm for truth, no matter who tells
it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against.” –Malcolm X
For this to
happen, the political elite and the society must change their attitude and
should stop honouring centuries old governance of one race domination. What are
we scared of? What have we got to lose, aside from the outdated symbolic accolades
of knighthoods & damehoods of the British Empire?
Our present PM,
Malcolm Turnbull, a staunch republican aspirer, scrapped the symbolic accolades
and remains to be seen if he seizes this opportunity to farewell everything of
royal nature by instigating our self-reliance, to free Australia, befitting the
“rapidly changing world”. Malcom
Turnbull is a reformed individual and he sounds like Obama convert, listening
to the speeches he delivered in Washington using one of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.’s
quotes, “The ultimate measure of a man is
not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands
at times of challenge and controversy.”, he will be encouraged to stand
firm to advance Australia. And, we will
never, never succeed, if we never, never proceed!
We need to
move forward as a new self-reliant and confident country with a renewed sense
of earnestness building institution of all-inclusive education system which can
rationalize the minds of the people and the political elite which is suitable
for creative and innovative changes to bring transparency and accountability
into operational and the awareness to reduce the feelings of discrimination and
suppression.
Change in
our perception is very essential in our society, in whatever areas of facilities
we’re dealing with, whether sports, welfare or civic administrations or day to
day communications, we’ve to be able to acknowledge black talents and
appreciate their contributions and efforts in any organizations.
To
appreciate how playing with the fire of racial hatred is so tense with
unintended consequences, it will be good to remember that mutual recognition is
a precondition for social trust. A sense of self-worth by any group in society
is only partially internal; it also depends on the willingness of other
competing groups in society to acknowledge the worth of the other. Everybody’s
views should be represented and valued irrespective of their background, race,
religion, etc.
This is why
status contests which lack good-will are inherently destructive. Where one race
is discriminated informally or as a matter of government policy, cultural
self-awareness eventually gives way to inherently exclusionary individual
consciousness. “The time is always right
to do what is right.” –Martin Luther King Jr.Our future generation of black people are in desperate need of model leadership and guidance from the vast societal structure that are capable of mentoring the new generation into the new direction with improved possibilities without racial divisions and the rhetoric vision of status quo -business as usual.
