That person's skin is a different color, this person's religious practices & beliefs are different, that person is physically handicapped, while this person is mentally handicapped, yet again, this person has an accent, while that person is attracted to the same sex. We all know someone who falls under one of these categories above. A category that people look at & laugh, such as physically & mentally handicapped people, or that people even try to hurt, such as people of a different religion, race, nationality, or gender preferance. Adolf Hitler killed hundreds of thousands of Jewish people, based on discrimination. We had slavery & segregation, still have the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). We had the burning times (example: Salem Witch Trials). Everdayday we hear of hate crimes against people for being gay, & as for muslims outside their native countries, such as America, since 9/11, quite frankly, they're looked at & treated atrociously!
I just don't understand the concept behind this reasoning. When you break it all down, we are are peaces of each other. We lash out at each other, hurt each other. But, we are all of 1 race-HUMAN
Why is it so hard for a person to look at someone & see them as a human, instead of seeing them as sick because they're attracted to them same gender, or bad because they're a different color? No matter what you're color, religion, nationality, handicap, gender preferance, etc. we all bleed when we're wounded. We cry when someone hurts us. We all need basics in life to survive. So why? Why make it so complicated & get hate involved? Why is it necessary? Just a thought...
