I hate when people say “I don’t see race, I don’t see color”
Nice try. You only get a pass if you’re legally color blind 🤦🏽♀️

I can see a dark skin brother from a short yellow skin one ,,olive tones
but I do not pick and chose who I love based on that
I have put my life in the hands of men and women from all over the world
I was called a nigger lover since I was in the 3rd grade because I had more black friends and girls over white boys ,
I don't know why I didn't get along with to many white boys ,other then most of them I knew were bigots and bullies
I see kids with down syndrome ,,or birth defects too ,worked in a rehabilitation shelter with people with all types of deformities ,,
I took the time to understand people that most people blew off over speech impediments ..I had a cousin that was shot in the head ,hardly anyone could understand him ,,,,I could
But does it mean I love them less ? there are more ways to be a bigot then just skin color .
I have a brother in law who is an autistic savant ,2 grandsons that are autistic
3 step grandkids that are black ,a niece and a nephew that are mixed
I dislike anyone that is unkind and rude to others just for the sake of being rude ,,,
and assumes they know me because I am white and live in the south
I don't sugar coat either ,,and I have had a life time of dealing with jerks that love to hurt others ,,
I became a defender of the weak and ones to scared to stick up for themselves ,,even to taking on my parents
when they told me my black friends were not allowed in the house
Both of them were converts long before they died
They found out ,I had a knack for picking true friends ,regardless of the color of their skin ,or the country they came from ,,Mom also disliked Mexicans and Japs as she called them ,,Chinks and wet backs ...
That is the difference ,,its not that I am color blind
I see hearts and character ,,and I have been hurt by more white people than any other color
I also dislike how there seems to be a push to relive a war that has been over for over 100 yrs ,,,we are friends with Japan that bombed us ,
and still fighting over the civil war
most of the people I know wont admit we destroyed a country that did nothing to us when we bombed Iraq ,,and until we messed with their government
Iran used to respect us too ,,
But we keep soldiers on the DMZ ,,,still not quite ready to end our war with Korea ,,Trump had to walk away from that deal
