End of Pride And Prejudice Is Nigh
Open dialogue with those with whom we differ
is the beginning of the end of pride and prejudice.

"Discourse on pride and prejudice is not meant to cause guilt.
Discourse is meant to drive people to action against injustice.
The question: Are we mature enough to sit down and discuss
issues of tribalism, etc., including religion, gender and race?"

"Open dialogue, especially with those with whom we differ,
is an expression of caring, inclusion, and tolerance."

"The key indicator that organizations have come of age is when
they advocate open dialogue on issues with marginalized people."

"My purpose is to promote conversations between white eyes and
colored eyes regarding the issues of tribalism and racism, and
their complexities and impact within the American community today.
Issues to do with diversity are not going away just because we deny
the existence, or because they cause us discomfort to discuss. We're
here to promote pluralism and service as did Guru Nanak through-
out his ministry. America's family tent must be as big as the Cosmos."

"As humanity moves into the Age of Space, how will we resonate with Grays
and Greens when we cannot relate well to Blacks, Browns and Gays?"

"The human mind was created to discriminate, e.g., make choices between
up and down, in and out, black and white, etc. We must remain aware of our
tendency to use our discretionary abilities in order to marginalize and repress
people with whom we differ. We need to constantly see to it that we advocate for
pluralism and against tribalism for the sake of justice as taught by Guru Nanak.
Only choices are to live for each other or to live at each other." -- Hari Singh Bird

between white eyes and colored eyes in America."
