there is a way to curb it my friend,,,,procecute them for any real crimes they commit in order to thwart said people.
you cant lock them up for hating,,but when they cross that line...and actualy commit a crime..then procecute to the FULLEST extent of the law
equal protection under the law...(where is fargle when i need him) lol
This speaks volumes & why there is no point in having the conversation. (as I suggested much earlier) I had hoped that somewhere civil compassion would have kicked in... obviously this isn't the case & for that I'm sorry.
As I said earlier... until you have experienced this first hand I wouldn't expect you to understand. To you, this isn't real... confirmed by your own words, freely spoken & without coercion... just keep in mind, it isn't real in your world because it doesn't apply to you, but that doesn't remove that fact that is is real in another's world... making it very applicable in their world.
My entire take was never about race but I have plenty examples in my where I have faced hate solely because of my pale complexion (if they only knew that I view myself to be a mutt... not some purebred, my background has a great deal of native american history) or I have felt soiled because of lascivious advances from persons of various races who, by their words..(not a direct quote).. they wanted to show this white girl some hot(jungle/latin/insert term here)-love.
~~~I had wrote a great deal more but before I sent it I decided against sharing. I'm afraid that anything more I would have to say on the subject would fall on deaf ears... so with that said, I think it is best to wish everyone well & close.
ive had snide remarks made to me....im fat, redheaded, freckles, a true mutt too....when i was job hunting years ago, i know i didnt get a couple of jobs because of my weight.......thats ok with me-their company, their rules.....i have chosen to not hire workers because i didnt like the way they refused to look me in the eye, or just because something about them threw up red flags, even though they may have been well qualified.....i hire people i think i will enjoy working with and would like as a human being.....some folks dont like gat folks as human beings, and thats fine....
in school, someone always wanted to make fun of the redheaded, freckle faced chickie......i stuck out as different......it still happens today, add the fatness to it, and believe me i have seen harassment......i also have many who love me and think im the nicest, funniest human being they know. and a few think im pretty damn hot too.
i wouldnt think of filing a suit where i was discriminated against because of my weight....it was fates way of me finding the job i was born to do-and i havent had a bad day at work in years....
no i havent been beat up for being fat or redheaded yet.....and hope it never happens.....but if it did happen, i wouldnt care why they did it, id just be mighty pissed that they did it at all.
i still dont get the hate crimes thing....a crime is a crime......my aunt was brutally murdered and shes just as dead for being at the wrong place at the wrong time as is a person murdered because of thier __________. pick your chosen thing.
maybe its because i have been a white woman all my life and thats the only eyes i see the world through, but no matter how much i try to open my mind, it makes no sense to me.
