Race is such a tricky thing these days. No matter what one says you come off racist.

But I have an idea......... Fuck talking about color and everyone just treat everyone else like you would your brother, your sister, your mother, father or friend.

There is no black, white, yellow, red. We are all just people trying desperately to find happiness and peace in life. Why do we have to label others? Is it because our own self image is so fucking pathetic we have to point to someone that is different and put them down?

Base your opinion on someone by their actions and what they say and do, not on race, ethnicity, religion whatever.

We all bleed, we all feel pain, we all love and hate and cry and laugh.

When babies are born they do not know rich and poor, race, whatever prejudices and hatreds that may come.

They are taught all those things. And while this generation and the generations before us may be fucked up in that aspect, it is never too late to correct HOW YOU THINK.

Once you correct how you feel, maybe someone else will be inspired to correct themselves..... and so on and so on.

It's time to put the prejudices where they belong, in the past and to move on as brothers and sisters realizing we all just want some form of happiness and peace brought into our lives.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
