I don't look down on any group. There are many types of people I avoid, and whose choices I don't agree with. But they're just people, nothing less and nothing more.

Indeed. harboring hate for someone is just detrimental, both to social workings and your mental health. I don't hate anyone, nor do I try and look down on anyone; if anything, I look up to lots of people, but that's just my self-esteem issues.

You look down on others you're no better than them.


I am not a racist, therefore I am better.


Ironic, yes?

To my mind the lowest of the low are racists. I absolutely cannot abide these people. Unfortunately as I was growing up I was surounded by such people, including my elder brother who, knowing I hated racism, would consciously call "ni--er" at the dinner table, tell horrible jokes and make huge generalizations about persons of African descent.

I argue that racists are the lowest of the low. The thing is that racists don't even own it. They claim to be friends with at least one "ni--er" or worse, they try to hide it which only makes all other white people seem suspicious of harboring these same loathesome feelings.

I mean, the LeVeyan's do not hide who there are; Creationists don't hide who they are, they will be the first to admit they don't believe in evolution and could care less what you have to say about it. Christians will admit they love Jesus.

But racists? No! They rarely if ever admit it. They troll out some BS trying to make black people look stupid. Or they will troll out a strange mule to post racist remarks or a pic of their anuses, but will they admit in a square debate that they hate harbor this animosity?" No.


Racists are cowards and the lowest of the low. The know enough to know that their hatred is disgusting but they lack the integrity to try to do something about it. They just keep simmering on the down-low all quiet like snakes.

My position: Not including criminals, racists are the lowest of the low.



Racism is not a joke.

I look down on racists...Really.

But I cant say I hate them, or abhor them. Because I partly feel sorry for them. Most racists here (Georgia) are bred that way. They are instilled prejudice and hate from birth...It makes me think, they never really had a chance cry


I too lived in the South and during segregation and the original incarnation of Governor George Wallace. I can attest from my experience that hating rascists will not end their hatred. Hating solves nothing. It is at best a mechanism of defense. It is never a Holy emotion for fallen and fallible human beings. God hates evil with purity. We must eshew evil and grapple with the sin of hatred as best we can.

Judgmental people. Yes we are all judgmental on some levels but some people are ridiculous with their extent and initial level of judgment (i.e. people assume you are gay because you support homosexuality or vice versa).

I swear to try to keep my "trolling" and "spamming" to a minimum... it's just really hard...

No. Maybe somewhere in the sticks or the hills people are this narrow, but most widely it is understood that Gay Rights are human rights and that to support and back our Gay neighbors and relations is in no way related to our own sexual orientation. Sexual orientation and the sex lives of Americans is nobody's business.
     


Gay rights are about love. Let us therefore show love to each other.
