It is just not right

Were you ever discriminated against, as a child, teen, adult, or applied for a job, or heard talk behind your back that you were not right because you were born with, or did something in your life. I was. As a young child having blonde hair, fair skin and a little pudgy, I was picked on ... until I learned to fight back. Not always physically, but mentally. I just learned to let it 'roll off my back'. Of course there were times I had to defend myself, and I began to do that quite well.

We have many friends that are different from us the caucasian middle class, married to the opposite sex, and some would say the idea case of the NORMAL couple. I don't see it that way.

I tell everyone, "I am are colorblind." And even tho we see all of the differences between people, but it does not matter to us. It not even a second thought. But some people can not, or will not, see other people as equals. There is single word for that. It is DISCRIMINATION ! 

Discrimination is when someone is joked about, shunned, paid less than their counterparts or co-workers, insulted, bullied, threatened, intimidated, prejudicial distinction, assaulted, and the worse murdered.

People do these things because they grew up in a negative environment, or stereotype anyone because of the race, color, religion, age, sex nation origin, marital status political affiliation, weight, height or disability. or maybe it is just because they did not like the way you dress, or your tattoos, hair color, or they just looked at them wrong. Who know? No matter what the reason is, it is wrong legally and morally.

I hear time and time again about a person who does not get the same pay as their co-workers in the same position, bullied, spoken bad about by someone who is negative toward that person is some way. That is wrong.

People should be judged on their actions and abilities, not on the things I mentioned before. I heard about a lady who is a 15 year quadropedic, in a wheelchair. She and her husband had beautiful twin girls about 3 years ago. She not only helps raise the girls, but also holds down a full time job from home. She received emails and text about she was not capable to raise those girls because of her condition. Like any good parents, they both are involved in the upbringing of the girls in the best environment. People should ashamed of themselves to even thinking that. I think the lady is a great parent.

If we would just close ours, we ALL would look alike.  Next time you feel even a little bit judgmental, think about what other people think when they look at you. I hope just another human trying to serve off their time on this earth. Take care and stay safe.
