Racism is stupid.

I guess I am naive.  I guess I am just a silly optimist with high hopes for a perfect world but humor me for a moment.

Why does racism even exist?

We are all humans correct?  We are all made up of the same parts correct?  We all function in basically the same way meaning rest, eat, exercise, poop, rest correct?  Why is the color of ones skin or where one comes from playing any sort of role in how one is perceived?

It is my opinion that the only factor that one should be judged on is their ability to be kind.  Even then I do not expect any one to be hateful or judge the unkind people because therein would hold an even bigger problem.  Hatefulness and criticism breeds more of the same no?

Why is it that one's skin pigmentation or hair texture is a deciding factor?  You can darken your skin by tanning, you can straighten your hair with chemicals you can change these things easily.  I guess this would be the only reason that I would like a world where we are all hiding behind our computer screens.  You would never see the physicality of the person you would only hear their heart.

Black/white, Fat/skinny, Asian/Mexican, you would not be able to make a judgement from a stereotype you would hear the true self of the person.  I'm not saying go in your house and hide behind your computer, but I am saying walk around stereotype blind.

In the end, it will not matter the color of ones skin, but it will matter if your heart is good.

Revelation 7:9
After this I looked, and behold a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

Dear Mr. Bill Gates

I saw a post of facebook the other day it was a picture of Bill Gates holding up a sign that talked about it was about time he gave back to people and to share his picture for a chance at $5,000.  Really?  This makes my blood boil.

Bill Gates is a highly intelligent man that came up with a product that changed the world.  He earned his money therefore he should be able to do whatever he wants with it, and no that does not mean that Joe Schmo troll sitting in front of a computer screen wasting their time scrolling the internet for get rich quick schemes and cat videos has a share in it.  What on earth?!  Why is it that anyone feels they are entitled to anything that they did not earn?  What would you do if a stranger walked up to you on pay day and put out their hand for their "share"insisting that you "owe" it to them just because.  My guess is  a few expletives would be uttered and no money would be exchanged.  Why is it any different just because you perceive Mr. Gates to have so much more money than you do?

There are plenty of millionaires out there that are not quite so visible.  Mr. Gates is visible because of his charitable donations.  Is that it?  He is giving to this underprivileged group therefore he needs to see how underprivileged you are and then he will correct all your bad financial choices and the world would be right again?  Wrong.

Money does not fix the problem.  One must be taught to live within ones means and work hard for ones own goals.  If you dig yourself into a big hole with spending and the want of things, then someone comes along and bails you out paying your debt what have you learned?  If, however, you dig yourself out denying yourself and working for everything you have it will be much harder to spend so freely and you will have taught yourself an excellent life lesson.

Truth be told Mr. Gates and his wife give wholeheartedly back to the community and do so with a willing spirit.   What happened to this world that it is expected that we deserve things?  Entitlement should really be a four letter word.
