Not all white people are racist (though some are).
Not all black people are racist (though some are).
Not all Mexicans are illegal and out to steal your jobs/money (though some are).
Not all Muslims are terrorists plotting our demise (though some are).
Not all police are brutal pigs/racists (though some are).
I could go on and on, but you get my point.
Today, I was told that blacks and whites need to be segregated again because white people are too entitled. What?
As someone who grew up with a racist father, but thankfully was not raised that way, I do not understand racism. We all bleed the same color, so why should the color of our skin determine anything? I understand that some people still think this way, and personally, I think it's wrong. We're in the 21st century; we should not still be having issues with racism.
As for entitlement? I find too many people these days feel they are entitled to something, especially things that they have not worked for. Racism and entitlement are two completely different things.
As for the person who called me a racist bitch for going the other way when I saw him, I can be bitchy, but I am not racist. I went the other way because you've been arrested in the building several times already for causing a scene when someone walks by you. You start screaming and threatening people who looked at you. You tend to carry a weapon. I know your criminal history! So, yes, I went the other way. To avoid a scene and any problems you may cause.
And while I'm ranting, I find nothing wrong with breastfeeding in public (a friend delt with this recently, and she was covered up). How is it okay for a woman to walk around wearing see-through clothing without a bra or to have their breasts spilling out of their dress/top, but it's not okay for a mother to breastfeed her child wherever she sees fit? How is that disgusting? I find it more disgusting to see women with their breasts falling out than to see part of a woman's breast when she's feeding a child. If you don't like it, don't look.
There are so many people in this world that believe their opinions are correct and the only ones that matter. There are approximately 7.4 billion people in the world, all with their own opinions and beliefs. Why can't we just accept that not everyone will agree with us and move on? The world would be a much better place.
Like the old saying goes: "If you don't any nothing nice to say, then don't say nothing at all."
