How awesome would it be to incite a movement?

This world is an amazing place, but as time passes that fact seems to be getting clouded over with some of the most ridiculous ideas, beliefs and ignorances that can be imagined.  In that we see hatered between people, between groups, between family members.  You see mis-information about places, things or activities. 

It's like a short sale on the wealth of everything around us everyday....

Turn on the news and see it.. The doom/gloom and exaggerated misfortune of our time here on this planet is getting ridiculous.  It almost makes you ask why are we even going through the motions to 'succeed' in life...?  

I don't believe in that train of thought and I don't think that anyone should.  I do believe it's time to incite a movement to re-invigorate ourselves and put into action the power of who we are as a people.  Scratch race and religion.  We need to do the work neccessary to achieve what it is that we are capable of achieving...for the good of all of us; as a whole.  Are you into that?  If you're not; can I ask how can you not be?

Sure...this is a vast problem in the world today, but at first the solution can't and won't be a vast sweeping fix-all.  It's going to take understanding, time, patience and dedication from everyone that wants to make a difference because those that don't understand, or have the time to, will make it extremely hard.  Maybe at the start our movement can't be a deep rooted stance to stand up for what's right - or at least it can't be that way on the surface....  So how could we do this.... Maybe we need something incredibly simple... I think I got it.

Let's start the movement by removing Watermelon from the list of 'African-American Stereotypes'.  Why? Because EVERYBODY LIKES WATERMELON... be realistic.
