Ignorance is bliss, Ignorance is painful
Generalization is a tool used only by those who do not want to deal with specifics and live by what society tells them without question
Black people are violent
Asian people are smart
Muslims are terrorists
Christians never are terrorists
Culture and cliques will not be defined by the labels you give us and the stereotypes you spread faster than your unvaccinated children spread disease
Your uninformed ideals and philosophies are pulling back those who want to push forward and spreading those ideas through lobbying and brainwashing
You may not want to patch from society 8.1 to 10, but maybe your gay child does
Because the only 2 outcomes of teaching children to hate is either teaching others to hate themselves or hating themselves
Your the reason black people had to fight for the right to be their own person because we didn't know
Your the reason we took Japanese people and caged them because we were afraid
Your the reason that Muslims are afraid because we don't know
You the reason that i'm afraid to be me because you don't know
Ignorance is a tool that only benefits the one using it and screws up what they are trying to fix
Because the only thing that needs fixing is the tool
