The Problem With Humanity Is The People Involved

If the title doesn't say it all, I don't know what will.

I turn on the tv, go on the internet or listen to the radio, just hate spewing. It doesn't matter what it is either, if someone isn't right they go after everyone else just trying to prove them wrong.

The news is the worst, all if it just gets one group to hate another. I can remember waaaaay back in the 80's, there were only a few sources for news. In those days they just read the headlines and then say have a good night. These days there are thousands of news sources and each one thinks they are right about everything. It's not headlines, it's maybe one version of a fact and a plethora of opinions.

Do you know what gets caught up in the middle of all of it? Humanity.

Politicians are just as bad. Republicans are red, Democrats are blue, and neither one of those two, give a fuck about you. I hate politics more than anything. All it does is pit people against each other. Everything turns into red vs blue and it filters down into peoples lives. I could care less who you vote for. I'm a registered independent and I've never voted for a major party candidate.

In 2020 I voted for Jo Jorgenson.

In 2016 I voted for Gary Johnson

In 2012 I voted for Gary Johnson

In 2008 I voted for Ralph Nader

In 2004 I voted for Ralph Nader

In 2000 I voted for Harry Browne

People ask me who I voted for and I generally change the subject because it isn't anybody's business. I once told somebody I voted for Trump, it was more for a reaction. I never have and never will vote for a major party. They are too busy arguing about each other, that they don't have time for us.

I never have been and never will be racist in any sense of the word. That's the highest form of bigotry there is. I'll treat you like my brother if you treat me like yours. News, politics and everything else turns everything into a race issue. Do you know how you end it all, stop saying....a black man did this, a white man did that, a native did that. How about saying....a man did this? There are places where it is a very dominate topic and where I live it isn't an issue. Now I live in west central Minnesota, outside a town of 1,500 people, things are different in big cities. It is bullshit that this day in age it is still an issue. It's not a black thing, it's not a white thing but apparently it's a thing.

I don't care what color you are, your sexual preference, who you vote for, which news you watch or anything else. What I do care about is how you treat your server and if you use your damn blinker.

If you take everybody on the planet, all 7 billion or so people now. Take race, religion, politics, wealth, news, man, woman, LGBTQIA+ or anything that differs us and strip away all the stigmas, do you know what you have? Humans. We are all humans and nobody should be treated any differently than anyone else. If everyone got over their reasons for hating other people for their beliefs, the world would be such an amazing place.

Please delete the hate and be kind to everyone. We aren't animals fighting for dominance. We are Humanity.
