Discrimination appears in many different forms but the end results are always the same: exclusion, anger, hatred, ignorance, regression of humankind, and a separation that divides us all. In Song of Acceptance, four individuals from different regions of America, who experienced discrimination in four very distinctive ways, come to one locale to tell their stories. As these four stories of discrimination are told, key words from the narratives join the soundtrack and song to create one message, a negative concoction of emotions that arises out of the experience of being discriminated against.
But as the individuals talk about the solution to the problem of discrimination and the concept of tolerance, the positive words of wisdom ring out in the soundtrack. This creates a positive medley that offers the one idea at the core of the solution of discrimination: acceptance. Even though the four people come from different backgrounds and were the subjects of different forms of discrimination, they all arrive at the same conclusion of accepting others as the solution to creating a better world. Their thoughts, ideas, and solutions meld together and become one - ultimately creating the song of acceptance, which brings forth the message of acceptance to the world. No matter what the differences between people are, it is key to accept those we inhabit the world with to progress as a society. Tolerance must be acceptance.
