STEREOTYPING/CATEGORIZING. I've been trying to find the time to actually sit down and blog about this for awhile now, and I'm glad I finally have because this sh** needs to be put on the forefront. A lot of people (maybe even you) seem to stereotype, categorize, or judge people...just because they don't flash on your "normal" radar. It could be because their from a different country, the color of their skin, or even the language they speak. But for some reason, people seem to becoming more and more judgmental of others.

Now I'm no were near perfect and sometimes can fall under the category as judgemental, but I try to correct myself because you never know why that person is the way they are or choose to live the way they live. I myself can be considered "not normal" because I don't let the color of my skin, the clothes that I wear, or the things that I have define me...and people just don't seem to understand that. Why the hell would you want to be "normal" anyways? Or meet others WRONG expectations of you just because of your race, gender, or your religious faith? That's bulls***. Not all black people are gangsters or live in "ghetto" areas. Not all people from Iraq are terrorists. But these are some of the things many of us choose to believe and judge others by.

You can't judge a whole group of people by an experience you had with ONE person of that race. You can't judge by what you hear on the radio. You can't judge by what you see in the media. Because again, not everyone fits the so called "norm" (a.k.a. stereotype). Don't let things like that decieve you and trick you into being a judgemental person...and people who choose to think like that are just ignorant a** people...point blank.

Post your thoughts.
