Racism, Sexism, and Homophobia

These three things comes from intolerance of other's differences, our own fears, and inability to understand others which in turn breeds hatred.

However the hatred is not enacted inward but rather outward. More often than not the reason we dislike another is because they remind us of what we see in ourselves. So remember when we discriminate against them we are merely discriminating against ourselves.

In truth there is really no difference in us all. All there is just differing opinions, cultures, races, genders, and sexual preferences.

How would you yourself feel if others push you away just because of the color of your eyes?

Hum, interesting post. I agree R,S and H can lead to hatred which is wrong. But, I don't agree that disliking someone is because you see something in them about yourself you don't like. I dislike phoney people, regardless of what color their eyes are, hair color, gender, age, skin color, religion etc. My dislike of phoney people is not because I see that bad quality in my own personality.

Doing some blog walking this am via the blogupp widget which I'm enjoying.

Your topic is a good one, many things to discuss in each of those categories.

Welcome mats always out, hope to see you soon.
