ANTI-RACISM / PREJUDICE RAINBOW: Christopher

CAUSE - Racism and prejudice of all type is one of most serious underlying social problems today. Although it becoming more a thing of the past, it still exists and causes a lot of pain for some individuals and should not be tolerated. Prejudice is bred from a young age from in the media and some sad cases of family values.

The hope in this toy is to aim at the younger age mainly yet including older ages to abolish as much chance of prejudice before it becomes a set mind frame.

NAME - Skylar Thompson
The name Skylar Thompson because Skylar is a unisex name which reminds me of rainbows and clouds etc etc. and Thompson cause it sounds friendly like Thompson and Thompson out of Tin Tin.

STORY - Skylar is an alien who came to this planet looking for a new home. Although he only appears on occasions he witnesses and feels the pain of the people on earth. When he arrive he didn't understand or see prejudice, but his curious mind got the best of him and as a highly intellectual being he came to the sudden realization that the little time that the "humans" have left, they spend it hating, hating for no plausible reason. So Skylar became a strong promoter of anti-prejudice.

He has a magic power to wipe out the human race easily if they dont change their ways.

MAKE - Out of soft materials, almost like a pillow for kids to love and hug during the night.

Skylar's Thoughts!

I don't feel that prejudice,
Can't see divided lines.
To me we are all just the same,
Our difference in our souls and minds.
You tell me that the difference,
Is red, brown, black and white.
A world of such variety,
To you becomes an excuse for hate.
We've gotta learn, have hope, unite
And care enough to end this fight.
You're hating with no real insight,
And burning crosses in the night.
A hundred years of barriers,
Yet still we can't see fit
To bring about world unity
And learn to live with it.
Now I'm not just complaining
And I won't preach to anyone,
But we should think about it
'Cos this war has not just begun.




yeah.
