In my personal opinion, I believe Racism is a simple form of what people would call Terrorism.

I do not think that Racism is an American value, and I actually think it stems from our own weakness as a civilized people. As a country that celebrates Liberty & Freedom, and a country that has had many, many people who have fought in countless battles & wars to preserve the values that make America unique - it’s a shame that we would have such pomposity within our own individual conflicts.

As someone who has experienced accusations of being a racist when I was a little kid - like literally I had kids shoving their fingers in my face saying I was a racist and accusing me of saying things I never said and then holding me accountable to their own psychotic paranoid delusions that I would ever talk about their family members - especially since I’m multiple races myself - I learned very early that Racism is a Problem, not a Solution (plus, I ended up finding out that it was another kid who was making the racist remarks and he was English - and I was merely accused and held accountable because we were both wearing Green T-Shirts and so the kids mistakenly thought I was the one who made the racist remarks; Yes - This shows how stupid people become due to Racism).

I have seen, lived, and had to personally experience the ignorance and overall aggression and hateful behavior that Racism breeds. It breeds more hatred. There is nothing sacred or holy about racism. I believe everything happens for a reason - I believe the Jim Crow Museum is a necessary response to what this country has grown through.

I have people in my life, some friends some family - who are straight-up racists. I don’t judge - I cannot say anything more other than I wish things would be different and actually get better. That’s the reality of this country though (and this world).

There are so many people who live here - and the promise of Freedom and Liberty and a new opportunity for all Men, Women, and Children is something that I believe all human beings are instinctually drawn towards (especially considering the astounding amount of countries that have a lot of severe problems that people cannot live with anymore so they come here just as most of our ancestors did).

People don’t like other types of people and I’m like - hey that’s you and your life, that’s not me. If I don’t like somebody it’s because of how they are, not because of their physical features. I was born and raised on American Military Bases the whole beginning of my life - and having the privilege to move from country-to-country and to live from culture-to-culture as a child - and having my own family be a diverse representation within my own life - it never made sense for me to give into my own ignorance or create a profoundly negative ability to divide my life and the people in my life due to some form of socially-perpetuated-hatred (or enabling of such hatred).

I don’t like hearing people talk trash these days - I’m so over it. I’m like look - if you have a problem with another person, or a group of people - then that’s your problem - don’t make it mine, too. (Do you think God created multiple races so you could criticize each race as if you are superior?)

I honestly think it’s all a big huge distraction that restricts the time we have left anyway. I mean at the end of the day - if a person goes on and on, and they spend a lot of time dedicating to being upset about something - whether race, sex, gender, religion, politics, sports, tv, blah, blah, yadda yadda - then that’s time you could be spending enriching your own life. Like - maybe a hobby - maybe something productive, or even something that might make you earn a better God’s honest dollar. 

Everyone has the free will to choose how they spend their time, what they believe, and all of that great stuff - but I’ll always use my free will to avoid negative conversations that go nowhere but down. If you’re a racist then please leave me out of the conversation - and if you’re not then great - more power to ya - I think it’s a good thing when we decide to make the conscious effort to behave as Civilized people would. 

Racism is not good for the soul. It’s a poison - if you want to continue having it - then I hope you have an enjoyable life, however, eventually you may realize that no one is better than the other simply due to the pigment of their skin.
