Response to Racism

Boumalne Dades, Morocco Yeah that whole group, they were born that way. Arrogant, dangerous, and dirty, I think that’s what the world is trying to say. WHAT? Wait up hold on just for a minute. Are we really still that ignorant? You tell me they were born that way. *** Are you really that blind or are you simply that lazy, believing everything you hear? Did you ever consider that is like holding up a spear? Take a second look I beg of you please. I can see a bigger problem cutting us off at the knees. *** What you see on the news represents a small percentage. Maybe you should do some research and see the full image. You see racism exists in us all, a fact we must not deny. So why are we choosing to lie instead of open our eyes? *** Generalizations cut deep and cause a terrible reaction. A whole nation believing we need to take action. *Trigger warning* we are killing in the thousands, Trying to conquer a world because of our first initial reactions. *** Do you find discomfort in witnessing murder; does it mess with your soul? Perhaps you should reconsider labeling nations as a whole. Everyday conversations whether you like it or not, Can sometimes come off as a very problematic threat. *** If you experience negativity, or even worse a threatening action, React as you will but take a breath before you start firing. Don’t throw out labels that cripple humanity. Attack only those who tainted your sanity. Please God I beg of you, don’t write off an entire ethnicity. *** Take a second before you start running your mouth. Calling a whole people arrogant, dangerous and dirty, Creates monumental problems because you see, you are labeling all of humanity. *** Please don’t allow yourself to forget, if someone wrote you off because of your identity, You too would rise from your knees fighting for your equality.
