OH BOO HOO HOO!
[NOTE: My All-Caps are for emphasis, not ‘yelling’.]
Why don’t you make like John Howard “Black Like Me” Griffin or.…better yet….try to get to KNOW people from the demographics you hate?!
Imagine being in a state of constant terror around law enforcement due to not knowing if said official is a nut who’ll mess with you for no good reason and maybe even kill you….all because you’re skin tone is a lovely shade of “Hershey bar”.
Sure; There’s plenty of black cops and decent cops but cops still tend to get ridiculous when it comes to folks with more melanin. Some blacks have actually complied with cops only for cops to kill them, anyway.
Imagine having some idiot Starbucks manager call the cops on you for the “crime” of simply waiting for a friend to show up so you can have coffee. Imaging being a student taking a nap on a couch in a college and having folks freak out over that.
How about having some hag call the cops on you for the “crime” of enjoying a BBQ picnic with family in a public park like everyone else….
….or MURDERED by some trigger-happy stalker for the “crime” of simply walking down the street after buying some Skittles and a can of iced tea!
You can remove that dumb hat….Women can’t stop being women, gays can’t “go hetero” at will, blacks can’t suddenly change color and trans can’t force themselves to be something they are (internally) not. Chaz Bono can’t just “feel like a woman” at will….he was always Chaz, even when he was a “lady” named “Chastity”.
And don’t get me started on having ones dreams, desires and social & bodily autonomy suppressed due to being female!
HUMANS ARE NOT THE BORG! NOT EVERYONE IS CUT OUT FOR PARENTHOOD OR MARRIAGE OR MONOGAMY OR ANY OTHER FORCED VOCATION. ETHNICITY/SKIN-COLOR IS SKIN DEEP. GENETIC DIVERSITY IS GOOD. THE PLANET’S OVERPOPULATED. HUMANITY ISN’T GOING EXTINCT ANYTIME SOON! DIVERSITY IS STRENGTH AND ROLES ARE TO BE FLUID! A BRANCH THAT DOESN’T BEND BREAKS!
Blame the One Percent for why you’re financially stagnant and can’t advance, not Greta, Trayvon, Malala, Chaz, RuPaul, Brie or whoever! No one is taking any of your rights! You can worship at any church of your choice and pray any time in schools!
Living in a concrete wasteland with carcinogenic smog to breathe, frack-water to drink, eColi meat and Listeria produce is not a picnic! Science is apolitical! Plenty of religious people are fine with Evolution! Nobody is forcing you to watch Captain Marvel!
Finally; Even if a minority succeeded in everything and proved all those stereotypes wrong, your ilk would do all you can to destroy that rather than re-think your kooky theories (ask the good people of Tulsa’s ‘Black Wall Street’ or Rosewood, FL.). For you see; You DON’T WANT THEM TO STOP BEING “LAZY, SHIFTLESS, ETC.”. You want a group to bully because you are weak, impotent babies!
True strength is in kindness!
And also….WHAT EVERYONE ON THIS THREAD SAID, I WILL SAY, TOO.
