racism

I absolutely hate racism and bigotry. I hate that people feel the need to hate people for their religion, race, gender, or who they choose to have romantic relationships with. When I look at people I see people. I don't like everyone and I only form those judgments based on their personality. Of course, it's gotten to the point in the world now where if you don't like someone and they happen to be a different color than you, you're racist. Everyone is super sensitive to everything. It's to the point where people are over sensitive. Not everything is an attack on anyone else. I am not a feminist. I see the double standards in society and it's not all just women with double standards there are double standards for men too. It's ok for a girl to be a tom-boy but not ok for a boy to play with dolls. It's ok for girls to join boys sports teams but not ok for boys to join girls sports teams. This weekend in my hometown which isn't very big and is a college town two jerks attacked two people because they were a different color. They were in a local restaurant and these white men started yelling racial slurs and it eventually escalated to physical violence. I personally, think the workers should have called the police before it had a chance to escalate but I guess it's easier to say when I wasn't there. The two people attacked weren't doing anything to provoke the attack. Now, none of them were actually from here. Not the two attacked nor the two who attacked them. One of the two attacked was considering going to college here but has decided not to because of this incident. Again, I'd like to point out the two that attacked them aren't from here. It had absolutely nothing to do with the college here. The person said they wanted to go to a college with a more friendly environment but this one isn't unfriendly. They're blaming an entire town for an isolated incident. We have a super low crime rate and even have a not in our town rally every so often. This incident, while it happened in our city, did not happen by our residents nor any of the college kids. The next thing I'd like to point out racism doesn't stop here no matter where they go they'll have to tolerate similar situations and that is terrible but it's the sad truth. If I had my way the two jerks who did this would be looking at lengthy prison sentences. It was a second offense for one of them. These kinds of people anger me to no end. I can't stand a person who hates someone who has never done anything to them or anyone else. We throw people in prison who kill their child's murderer or molester but we let jerks like this go free when they'll more than likely attack someone again. I don't understand how the justice system works. I am just so tired of politics and bigots. I'm tired of people judging someone based on anything but how they treat others. I don't care who you vote for I don't care what color you are, what gender you are, who you sleep with. All I care about is that you are a person who treats others with kindness and respect. If you do that I'll like you. I am not perfect and I'm super flawed and I know there are a lot of people who don't like me for one reason or another and maybe some of those reasons are legitimate and maybe some aren't but I think it's fair to say that if I made them hate me it's probably for something I said or did in the heat of the moment that doesn't define me as a person but does define the moment. We all have off days and I think that's important to take into consideration with people. Don't judge everyone based purely off one moment. I guess at the end of the day we aren't going to like everyone and that's ok and we need to be ok with that but if we don't like someone it should never be for a bigoted reason.
