Ignorance

One man, a stupid one i might add, once said, "ignorance is bliss," i find that man ridiculous, because in fact, ignorance is the prettier face of stupidity, and intolerance is the most pure brand of stupidity. In fact, this post is about, intolerance, mainly, racism.
I find that someone who has a lot to say, in general, is simply afraid to act. you can talk stories all your life about what you will do, but until you do, you've never helped anyone. And the people that talk alot about other peoples "downfalls," like, skin color, intelligence, or my least favorite, religion.
The people that see people as worse because of these characteristics, are in fact much worse, stupid, and less worthy of existence than the people who they are talking about.
No one should be discriminated against, or judged for anything less than who they are, the actions they choose to make, and the reasons they choose to do them. I'll admit that when i see a black "G" walking down the street, ill think of them as someone less acceptable by my standards, but also, ill do the same thing for a white or Mexican, or anyone dressing, walking, and acting according to a stereotype that in my experience is less contributing to society than any other.
