racists, sexists and bigots

Racism is just not acceptable in any form. There is absolutely no rationale for discriminating against a person because their skin is a different color (or shade) than yours. You are no better (or worse) than anyone else based on skin tone. You have to look deeper to know who is trash, who is treasure and who is just an ordinary schmuck like me.

The same goes for gender, religion, or sexual orientation.

If you want to slam someone, find the fanatics out there whose mindset makes them better than everyone else. You know who I am talking about: Chauvinists, misogynists, perverts, pedofiles (don’t get me started there), political fanatics (right or left), and anyone who thinks that their religion gives them the right to kill, enslave, degrade, or demean anyone whose beliefs are different.

We are all guilty to some degree of discriminatory acts. I routinely slam persons who fit into the categories above. I just do not like nazis (and other white supremacists), the Taliban, Stalinists, inter-city gangs, rap or other music which advocates violence or sexism, druggies, criminals, bullies, etc. etc. etc.

So call me a hypocrite. Aspire to be better.
