You only have to listen in society for seconds before someone mentions the importance of diversity. "Love us, don't judge us!!" is the cry of so many people in so many different walks of life. I agree that this is very important. My entire life I have strongly believed that people are people regardless of their skin color, their desires, their bank account or whatever else someone might be judged by. However, the problem has become that unless you are in the right politically correct group, you are thrown under the bus and judged yourself. A lot of these same people who are crying to be accepted will (with much hate) judge others for their beliefs.
There has to be complete unity. Christians and non-believers. Gay and straight. Democrat and Republican. So many others, but you get the idea. We all need to start accepting each other for who they are and let each person deal with their own faults. We all are human, we all make mistakes, we all sin, and none of us are God so we have no power to judge anyone.
I understand that people have been bad in the past. There have been (and still are) some terrible people who claim to be Christian. There have been bad cops. There were white people who owned slaves. There are black people who commit crimes. But there are also Christians who love and show God's light. There are hero cops who save lives. There were white people who helped free slaves. There are black people who are wonderful people. We have to stop generalizing and accept individuals.
We Americans have some very real enemies and they are using these issues of diversity to create division. Currently, our enemies are winning this battle. We have allowed them to create wedges between all Americans as we fight these individual battles of hatred towards one another. How many American lives will it take before we stop fighting and begin to stand together? We are falling but we are still the UNITED states of America. Our enemy knew that they needed to divide us to win and we allowed them to do so. But we have not lost yet. We have to stand together and not allow any more division. Our media will not join us on this. They have decided to report biased which means we can no longer trust them. My fellow Americans, we must stand together and fight this urge to be accepting only to certain groups. We need to see only red, white and blue. Americans stand together against our enemies.
I think we need to start saying WHO CARES if your white or black, gay or straight, all the other separations. Yes, I am a Christian and I have white skin. I have family members and friends who are not Christian. Family and friends who have darker skin. Family and friends who are gay. I don't see these things when I look at others. I see them for who they are. I will never understand how someone can look at another person and base who they are on the color of their skin or the choices that they make. Yes, we all have our heritage and need to know that, but that also does not define who you are.
Fellow Americans, we are all different but let's not allow our enemies to use diversity to divide us. Please, I am begging you. Let us stand together.
