Quote by Haile Selassie
Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war and until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of eradicating racism and discrimination for the achievement of lasting peace and equality. It argues that as long as there are beliefs promoting the superiority or inferiority of certain races, conflicts and inequalities will persist. It envisions a world where every individual is valued for their intrinsic worth rather than their skin color, and where basic human rights are universally protected. Until this vision becomes a reality, the pursuit of lasting peace and global harmony will remain elusive.
