What? 2 blogs in ONE day?!!! How did you guys get so lucky?! I have had a lot on my mind lately and I haven’t taken the time to blog about it. Now I wanna discuss some of the things that have been focused on by the media and how we believe it.
Lately, there has been numerous discussions about white cops killing young, black men. I know it seems like it’s happening so much these days. But it really isn’t. Because of the media and social networks, we are just hearing about it more. Racial profiling and racism have always existed. They always will. But for us to buy into the concept that ALL cops are “black killers” or ALL blacks are thugs is quite ridiculous. Let’s take it further. All Muslims want to kill Americans. Mexicans and Immigrants are taking over America! The disabled are just lazy people that don’t want to work! Christians are just Bible-thumpers that want to take away all of your civil rights! The gays are promiscuous whores!! Transgender people are just going through a phase to piss off their family! Really?! How foolish does this sound? STOP BELIEVING IT! There ARE good and bad people in every walk of like. Blacks, whites, cops, muslims, Mexicans, Christians, LGBT, the disabled. There is not one group of people that does not have at least one bad apple in the bunch. But because we hear about that Bad apple over and over again, it gets put in our heads that ALL apples are bad. It’s just not true.
Maybe racism actually could end if we stop believing the hype thrown at us by the media every single damn day!!
