Let's use a little intelligence when looking at racism, especially when it comes to skin color. Does the color of someone's skin have anything to do with the real reasons people are against a particular race? Has that skin broken the law, has it dealt drugs or suppressed people? Of course not, you can find black people who have sold their own into slavery, white people who do drugs and abuse the welfare system. You can find Asians who steal, Mexicans who abuse their wives and children, Italians who commit murder and Irishmen who rape women. You can find Jews hooked on crack cocaine, Christians hooked on ecstasy, Mormons hooked on heroin, and Jehovah's Witnesses who are alcoholics. You can find Southerners who won't work, Northerners who sell their Food-Stamps for drugs, Easterners who are dead beat dads and Westerners who are prostitutes, and do you know what else? You can take every problem we have on earth and you will find that every race, nationality, religion or gender has someone involved in causing those problems. So before you support racism and start blaming one particular group of people for the world's problems, you had better look in the mirror and ask yourself, what about the group you are in?
I do not agree with racism but I do discriminate. I discriminate against anyone who abuses the welfare system. I am against dead beat dads and anyone who deals drugs, rapes or abuses women and children. I am against anyone who steals, lies, cheats or takes advantage of another human being. I'm against evil in any form that is performed by any individual or any group of individuals, regardless of the color of their skin, where they grew up, their religion, their financial status, their hair color or even their sexual preference; and I will do my best to keep those who commit such deeds away from myself, my family and anyone else I feel they will hurt or influence. Oh yeah! I discriminate against one more thing; people who support racism.
Instead of being ignorant and joining the racists, why not put your time, money and efforts into real problems. Why don't you picket dead beat dads or march against those who abuse the welfare system? Why don't you form an alliance against lazy people who will not work or against those who just want to suck the tax payers dry of their hard earned income? Why are you not out educating young girls to keep their legs closed and young boys to keep their pants on so we don't have so many babies having babies? Why don't you volunteer at the boys club, the church youth groups or the homeless shelters to help turn people around and why don't you sit down with men who bail on their families and help them stick it out? In other words, why don't you do something that actually makes a difference in society?
People who honestly think that all our problems will go away if we were suddenly all one race have a problem themselves, its called being narrow minded. Focusing on racism will not help the problems we have, however focusing on the problems will. People need to stop beating a dead horse and bury it already because it really stinks and besides that, there are so many other things we need to be doing with our time and resources to make this world a better place.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
