“I have been trying for a long time to understand who the people who want divisions are. And I believe in the good in people. The need for separation comes from the fear of the unknown. I do not know a person, and I know many people who have been in contact with different people and hate them.
I think that all that hatred consists in some prejudice that is imposed by, I do not know if it is from parents, from society, from friends and so on, but I believe that the people we hear here on the streets, in games, we hear how for an entire nation they even have beautiful songs, melodic, wishing death, they had no contact with a friend on the other side. If we were to impose, say, a way in education from an early age for children to grow up mixed up, they would start, you know how, when there were some homophobic statements he would say, I do not like them but my friend is like that, so now because of him I do not want to say a bad word against them. And then the children will start, I have a friend on I do not know on what basis, and by accepting him, I accept everyone similar to him.
I can not accept fascist people, regardless of whether he is gay, and I have accepted gay people or I love them. This acceptance sounds bad to me, as if I am some authority who can give permission. I like those people but there are certain qualities in people that I do not like. With acquaintance and exchange, it will happen naturally.
I have never taught my children to love the different. At the age of 11 months I sent my child to kindergarten, where everyone is Macedonian except my child, and there is no room for conversation here, then it comes naturally to him. Now my child is moving to another school, where there are racial differences, and I comment on how cute that black child was, and the children tell me you are a racist, because they never heard me say that white child. And now I try to explain to them that since they are all white, that white child is not a characteristic that would single him out. This is the only way we can unite, in no other way. “, Added Lisa Bauta Shaqiri at the public event of CIVIL on the topic” Can we together? “
