I saw a Facebook post today. It was put there by a good woman who I am sure meant well, but I found it disturbing. First of all she gave credit for the quote to someone who didn't say it, and would not have said it. Then she misinterpreted its meaning, twisting it to fit her own small understanding of the world.
I wonder if she would have had such high praise for these words had she truly understood where they came from?
I can understand people whose opinion differs from mine. I can appreciate intelligent debate. I can even appreciate your right to say what you think however uninformed it is.
I do not appreciate fear mongers, or people who spread hate in any form.
If it is "cool" in your community to think you are better than other people because of their nationality, color of their skin, who they love, how or etc. then I am glad I'm not there, because YOU are the kind of person I don't want to be near.
Carefully cultivated ignorance, hate, and fear mongering will be what destroys this world in the end.
