Racist, Prejudice.
We have many problems in this country. One of them is the very words we speak. It is
very important what comes out of your mouth. Make sure you know what it is that
you are actually saying when you speak. These
days the word racist is thrown around like a feather in the wind by people who
don’t even know what it actually means. My
world is full of a mixture of different kinds and colors of people, and only
one race, the human race. I treasure it
in this life of mine. I do not judge
people by the color of their skin but by the content of their hearts. The problem with today’s society is not
racism even though that word is thrown around every day all the time. The problem is prejudice. People really NEED to know the
difference. If you do not recognize a
problem you will not know where to start to begin to fix it.
Racism is when you
hate a person because of his or her race. We all belong to ONE RACE, The Human race. Prejudice
is when you judge a person by their color, sex or whatever else you judge them
for before you even know the facts. Prejudice comes from two words, pre and judice
to… prejudge. An unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without
knowledge, thought, or reason. We definitely do have some racist people out
there but there really are not that many.
We have a planet of wonderful people all different kinds of Asian,
Black, Indian, White, & many combinations.
There are a few that are racist. It is unfortunate that most EVERY person
has SOME prejudice. The best thing to do
to fix it is, admit it and learn to deal with it. If you are making judgments on people and you
have not even met, that is the problem.
For instance, if you vote against someone because of their
color, it is prejudice. If you vote FOR
someone because of their color… it is prejudice. OR if you vote for or against or for someone
because of his or her gender, that is prejudice. It does not matter if the person is red,
yellow, black, white, male or female. It
matters on whether or not that person can lead our country. We are all one race, the human race. Making it into a color code for people to
fight over is the most stupid hateful thing ever.
So please, next time you think you have a need to “call
someone out” and call them a name like racist… learn what it means and stop
being a prejudice person, you do not know them. THINK before you speak. People disagree all the time, it does not
make them racist or prejudice just because they do not agree with you. Open your eyes a little further. I may not like sushi… I am not a racist
because of it. Please stop being stupid
and start fixing your behavior towards others.
You do not live on this planet alone.
Everyone is accountable for the words they speak. Stop being so offended at others who are not
aware of the value of their words. Stop being
offended about how people say things, they obviously do not understand. Stop letting yourself be baited by ignorance
and antagonists. Keep your nose on your
own face, watch your mouth and unless you can make a situation better, just
keep it to yourself. Learn the meaning
of a word before you throw it at someone especially with an intention of anger.
The reason for this post is to maybe
just maybe make some people think twice and make it better.
