Racism
Racism- I don't understand how some people can put so much time and energy ito the hating people. I figure you can put such effort into much more productive activities. Major things have resulted from such hatred. A major one would be the Halocaust. The terror, destruction, and countless amounts of death were unbelievable. In the late seventies there was an uproar on how the Halocaust never even actually happened. I find this disgraceful. How can you dishonour the names of the live that were taken and of the people that are even now to this day still metally and physically scarred. To silence these horrors stating that they never existed saying they were all lies is basically just saying you don't believe in the very true quote; "If you do not know your history you are bound to repeat it.". By shrouding people from the truth they can never learn. Who's to say the KKK or the Neo-Nazis could never gain enough power? What would we do if they did? Again my theory to this is the cycle. If you don't raise your children to see that everyone has the potental to be good a heart and that we are all the same no matter what colour/race, or religion you can never hope for a differance. Children learn from what they hear. If all they hear id derrogatory terms for others they most likely will asume that's how it is and accept it and go on and teach their children to hate them as well. It's a form of brainwashing in my oppinion. I've had several conversations on racism with many different people. I have yet to find someone with a official excusable reason however. If you have no ryme or reason to hate people then why? I can't wrap my mind around it at all. I will admit I come from a family that is racist as well. The reason I'm given from my family isthat they rew up in a time where it was accepted. How does that make sense either? We are all people no matter what. Prick us we all bleed the same way. Red blood, blue veins, pumping heart. I get called a hippie a lot but I just want people to understand how the hippie outlook really would be beneficial to us all. We should all love one another. You may not like everything about someone but does it necessarilly mean you have to hold such hate? I hope I can leave you with something to think about. . .
