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.
