Prejudice

I first became aware of how people are losing their first amendment right to free speech by observing how careful teachers must watch what they say. I now realize that it is not just teachers but many others. If the thought of two men having anal intercourse makes you uncomfortable and/or if you feel there is something unnatural about that, then you best keep it to yourself. If you know that Black on Black crime is at the heart of murders you best not mention it. If you think that the lack of fathers in the home is one of the main causes of young Black men ending up in jail don't say it. If you realize that most people in prison are from the lower socioeconomic groups, be quiet. If you know that Black males are disproportionately expelled from school don't bring it up. Same goes for Black males and criminal activity. If you believe there are only two genders or if you think there is something strange about people under going surgery to change genders, stay quiet. If you don't want first grade teachers to instruct students about transgender stay quiet. If you are uneasy about drag queens entertaining children in school, stay quiet. You can't say that AIDS started in the gay community and now you can add monkey pox to that but keep quiet. If you speak about these issues you will be accused of being prejudiced. You will be ridiculed and made to feel foolish. In time you may become enlightened like Clinton was on gays in the military. You many change your mind on gay marriage as Obama did. Cultural values change overtime but they change slowly. Be patient, don't criticize or belittle those who differ from you. Look back in your own life and see how you have changed.
