I'm not telling you to go out and light things on fire and overthrow the government because violence is never going to fix anything and I'm not a huge fan of anarchy. I am telling you that we need a revolution but probably not in the way you're thinking. We need a change in our minds and our hearts.
We live in a country where one of our two presidential nominees insults women, veterans, and just about every race and religion in our country and people are STILL voting for him.
A little over a year ago gay marriage was finally legal in all of the states and we still have people refusing to sell things to homosexuals and protesting at gay pride parades. We have brothers and sisters that are in dire need of our help in Syria and we're turning them away because we're afraid that it's possible they could be terrorists. We believe this because they happen to come from the same country as the people we're afraid of. Newsflash: the people that you're turning away are dying because of these terrorists too. But they don't have the privilege of hiding in our white picket fenced in houses and ignoring the cries of their neighbors.
We need a change in our hearts and minds because things are changing everywhere else. Gay marriage won't be illegal again just because you're pissed off about it and want to throw a tantrum by hating on other human beings. Terrorists won't stop coming into our country because we don't let refugees into our country. The outcome of that is more good people dying at the hands of terrorists. The only difference is that we could have stopped it.
We've been convinced by a man with a big ego and a political agenda that Mexicans are all immigrants that are here to steal our jobs and our welfare. If only the Native Americans would have had someone to warn them before we got here and slaughtered the majority of them to claim their land as our own and then tried to keep anyone else who may want a better life away from it. A large majority of these people he claims these terrible things about are actually just trying to get jobs and a better life and education for their children. They're working hard for what they have which is more than some can say.
We have got to catch up with the times because they're moving quickly and staying dead set in your old ways isn't going to stop them from changing.
Hating others isn't hurting anyone but yourself.
