Discrimination


Discrimination,

Please.

All you want to do is hate and they give you something to hate on so you hate.

Hate is a powerful emotion.

It drives people to do stupid things,

Have you done something stupid?

What have you done…

You should know better.

We’re not cavemen,

We’re supposed to be civilized people.

But were not are we?

We’re not better than the men who dragged their knuckles on the ground.

We cannot see for the life of us that we are the same.

Black is the same as white,

Gay is the same as Straight.

Why is there a difference?

Why?

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” - Mad Hatter
