When you have to roll up your sleeves.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

What a world. I obvious­ly don’t want to get back into the debate on racism or any other dis­cri­mi­na­tion, but it seems that opi­nions are so varied and emo­tio­nal that it’s very dif­fi­cult to calm­ly put across your own position.

On the one hand, we have per­se­cu­ted people. They demand jus­tice, even repa­ra­tion. They are asking to be given back what they have been denied, what they could have had and accu­mu­la­ted over the years, decades, and cen­tu­ries of discrimination.

On the other hand, we have people who have what they have, without having real­ly cho­sen it because of how they were born, and who are being asked for reim­bur­se­ment, who are being asked to account for the mis­takes of their peers, their ancestors.

The debate is very com­plex. Where to start? Should the dog­ma of diver­si­ty pre­vail over all other aspects of life? It would be impor­tant for us to agree on the vision to be achie­ved. Not kno­wing the final des­ti­na­tion, how are we going to reach each other? Is the consen­sus of the des­ti­na­tion not more impor­tant than the star­ting point if we alrea­dy know that we are each star­ting from a dif­ferent place? The consen­sus of the point of ori­gin, in my opi­nion, has been set­tled for a long time, but the consen­sus of the des­ti­na­tion has been serious­ly delayed.
