“Hating people because of their color is wrong, and it doesn’t matter which color does the hating. It’s just plain wrong.” - Muhammad Ali
February 13, 2023 - Is there anything so obnoxious as openly obvious hypocrisy? Do many of the people in this country have no clue as to what racism actually is? Looking around, watching others, and taking in the actual hate is not difficult in this purposely divided country, but the manner in which this subject is approached is atrocious. I am not speaking specifically about black or white, brown or yellow, red or blue, or what anyone’s sexual preferences are, I am speaking about everyone, regardless of color. It seems that many want to concentrate on something that happened all over the world many generations ago here, and for thousands of years around the world, and attempt to place themselves in a position in which they have never been in order to gain attention. I would liken this to the stupid idea of identifying as anything one desires to be, instead of accepting who you really are.
