In the Detroit area we have people from all races, religions and national
origins. If you are not a bigot you have a chance to learn about
the many cultures. If you are a white bigot you are a minority.
I was staying with a young lady who had a teenage son. He and his
friends built a basket ball backboard and hoop and a stand for it so they
could play basketball in the street. It was strong, durable and regulation
height. There were a couple of skin heads living down the street and
they decided to stop the young blacks from enjoying there basket ball games.
They ran into it with their car. The car was totaled and the kids
were playing basketball as soon as the car was towed away.
Bigotry is from ignorance. If a person does not understand a group
they may not like the group. It is also from fear. In many cases
if a person is down they want someone to blame, even though they are really
the ones to blame, so they pick on all groups that they are not a part of.
No matter how you cut it bigotry is wrong. Not all of any group
are bad. You can not condem a whole group of people for the actions
of a few. I have friends from all races, religions and national origins.
I have friends who are gays, lesbians, bi sexuals and transgendered.
We are all equals in the eyes of God. We are all equal and we are
all different. The difference is what makes the human race so beautiful.
The equallity makes the human race great.
Have you ever notices how beautiful mixed children. It has been
said by antropologists that all races will mix into one human race. We
will still have color differences, religious differences and national origin
differences. We will still have bigotry.
