All this election back and forth having to do with racism and how it’s influencing politics got me to thinking about one of my most favorite Sesame Street songs. I think everyone should take a step back and give a watch the video below - because in a sense, I think it spells out the truth of the matter.
I also find it pretty inspiring. It’s funny how Sesame Street never gets old in terms of entertainment or message.
Likewise I found the video below to be too adorable, but at the same time on point when it comes to the basics (and I think fur is just as pretty as skin too)
and learn more about a group that has been working for quite some time to try and make sure that everyone with skin has the same opportunities.
