Ignorance - You know you are!

So many people walk through life thinking they are perfect, they are not racist or ignorant but the fact is even if you don't want to admit to it, you probably are.

Racism -discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race, sexual orientation, religion etc.

Many people believe that racism or ignorance is only when it is shown towards others who are of different skin colour or to those who do not share the same religious beliefs or people who are attracted to members of the same sex.
Not a true fact, racism has found new ways to manifest itself.

We as a nation say..It is NOT ok to say you don't like someone because their skin is different from yours, Its NOT ok to say you don't like someone because they don't share your beliefs in religion, It's NOT ok to say you don't like someone because they have a partner of the same sex.
BUT it's IS ok to make discriminatory comments towards someone who is not the same size as you!
Since when did being fat make someone less human? make them less of a person of value??
Since when did being thin make someone automatically on drugs or with an eating disorder??

Ask yourself this question..Have you ever judged another human being based on the size they happen to be? If you answered with any type of yes You ARE Racist!

There is no difference between any type of hatred, To hate another human for being different on any level makes you a racist, Makes you ignorant!
And until we learn to just like one another for who we are as people, and for what we as people can give back to this world there will be no peace.

The media's perception of what is "normal" is bullshit! and you all know it, but yet you hang on to every word and image you see.
Stop living according to Hollywood rules and start living by your own!

Be the best person you can be each and every day, Be kind to all not just who you think is worthy of it.
We all have a small amount of ignorance in us, but it's how we try to make ourselves better that sets us apart from the true assholes.
