The Michigan Daily --Thursday, September 8, 1988 - Page 5 GOALS Coope rate Continued from Page 3 WE ALL HAVE the same goals. We all want to be equally respected for who we are. We are all fighting racism. So the question then becomes: if we have these goals, why haven't we seen each other working to- gether for them? Why haven't I seen your face at my rally? Why haven't you seen my face at yours? Maybe we don't think the other's interests are as important as our own. That's true to an extent. We each come first to ourselves; our own ideas and beliefs are most important. But if we all want the same thing, we have to understand that the fight is also the same. The face of racism may be different for each of us, but it has al- ways originated from the same kind of hate. We know that. We have to acknowledge that we share a common ground. What we've been doing is ignoring that common ground and prioritizing. M y cas e 'rt h n y s, it comes first, then yours, Utm ro 1; /as ,r hu, common ground is lost and suddenly everyone is out for themselves. I'll have my rally and you can have yours, and rarely do we think that our rallies can sup- port one another's. We're grappling for our own piece of the pie, and if we think in those terms, we've al- ready lost. Instead of realizing we can all share the pie, we wind up fighting over the last few crumbs. We have to discard that belief. We have to start putting faith in one another. If you come to my rally, I'll come to yours. Support my people, and I'll speak up for yours. ' AN still prioritize. Prioritizing is natural. P: w can'i niorize to the point of excluding others. Too often the same fight turns into two different bat- ties. Sometimes they are opposing battles, fighting for the attention of everyone else. We have to find our common ground and hold on to it. We have to learn to overlook those obstacles that misguide us. help me fight my fight, and I'll help you with yours, and maybe along the way we'll find out it's the same one. -Lim, a graduate student in art, is a member of the University of Michigan Asian Student Coalition and the Minority Affairs Committee of the Michigan Stu- dent Assembly.
