A Short Message

Not all Christians look down on those who don't believe what they do.

Not all black people join gangs and shoot at cops.

Not all teenagers experiment with drugs and sex.

Not all figures of authority are trustworthy.

But we are all of us people.

  1. Haha, if only more people understood this! Then again, most people are a victim of labeling, and they understand that they are being judged unjustly (oh, the verbal paradox! I'm so clever) Very few take that all so important leap and realize...

    Hey! I've been labeled as something I'm not! Perhaps not all labels are true!

  2. If only stereotype was only a noun. But it all depends on how you look, I guess.

    Looks lead to impressions, impressions lead to judgment, judgment leads to stereotyping, stereotyping leads to discrimination, and discrimination leads to bad stuff. Ahh, Star Wars.
