We Out Here Tryna FUNKTION (post is deeper than title)

It was only yesterday that a shooting occurred at a place of worship and the biggest headline now is "Missy Franklin has big feet."

What's wrong with our society? When people turn to guns to display their superiority or lack thereof. Accepting people's differences is what makes humans so great. It's looking to your left and realizing the person next to you shall be judged by their character not their color. It's sad, disgusting, pathetic, and embarrassing that in the 21st century, after EVERYTHING Dr. King, Rosa Parks, and more worked for, we still have hate crimes due to race. This was a domestic act of terrorism, that's correct. It was also racially motivated. America, that's just sad.

I just spent time on a Neo-Nazi website and it's sick. Why hinder society's changes? They're rambling on about how "black students" are taking money from "white students" with Obama signing a bill allowing black students better means to going to college. It's so sick and it's so ignorant.

But I'm digressing here. The point is that this was an act of racially motivated violence and terrorism. I've read countless articles on how Sikhs get mixed up with Muslims. I'm a Sikh so I'm going to give you all some insight. It's ridiculous that all these articles have to explicitly state that Sikhs have gotten mistakened for Muslims. What's wrong with Muslims? Why are people so ignorant to believe that only one culture can have beards and turbans?

To everyone that's a racist bigot-I was originally going to say fuck off, but that's just immature. What I will say is step back and look around. Remove yourself temporarily from the hate and the other thoughts that motivate you. See how these people are living. See how they are just human beings, not any different other than how they choose to worship. I'm saying this because I myself used to discriminate against a group of people (not race). It took me years to realize that they are not so different than myself, and that those differences do not shape who they are. It is their character that shapes them. You will eventually realize that race, gender, sexual orientation is just another thing.
