Why hate?

It drives on ignorance, it thrives on stereotypical thoughts that consume our minds when interacting with those who differ from us.

It thrives on prejudice

It thrives on difference

This is discrimination

It comes in form of intimidation, abuse, violence , threat and humiliation

Discrimination isn’t about abomination, it's straight up hateration

Discrimination against gender

Discrimination against race

Discrimination against religion

Ethnicity, sexuality and diversity

It's a disgrace why hate, why can't we just appreciate differences everywhere you go, everywhere you look and check it out everywhere you are there's somebody different even in the slightest way.

I mean can you imagine walking down the street and having people stare at you for no reason just out of blue or talk behind your back and even shoot a bullet in your back, because of your complexion and the fact that you are coming out of gas station with a pack of skittles in a kind of Arizona. 

I see in your possession there are Muslims, the Christians, the Sikhs and the Jews but they are all human just like you and let you know why do we feel like we have rights to discriminate, so bullies laugh - I look down and desegregate. 

We are all equal no one has right to intimidate or dominate and because a Muslim girl has to cover her body. Does she deserves to be victim of the hate? 

Genocide and apartheid slavery based on a warped sense of superiority war it makes me want to cry so why can’t we just get along, see before us who they are, not how they differ from us. 

It drives on ignorance, it thrives on stereotypical thoughts that consume our minds when interacting with those who differ from us. 

It thrives on prejudice 

It thrives on difference 

Discrimination, we need to think about and re-evaluate, why hate? 

Why can’t we just appreciate and make a change on this here date.
