I'm so glad that I am not the only one who feels this way. Mark is absolutely right. EVERYONE deserves to get respect and give respect back. It's sad that it took people to have someone tell them to respect to do it... But it was fully needed. This video not only made me want to strive to be a better person, but to make others want to be better to. I have always lived around people who judge and hate others by their skin color, race, actions and their origin. Which has made me want to make those who are disrespected feel wanted. It hurts to see others treated poorly because of the way they are. Just because someone came from somewhere or has some sertain body type etc. does NOT necessarily mean that is going to or has rubbed off on you. I am sincerely tired of seeing people hate others over something as small and simple as the way they talk. And I know how it feels. I am bisexual and was born and raised in downtown kck and I am not like what people sum me up to. People who have known me all of my life even say that if they didn't know then they would never even come close to assuming that's were I am from. And being bisexual... People act as if I am a disease or as if I'm going to hit on them and do something drastic even though I NEVER EVER would. No one deserves to be treated as half a human or such over something as small as sexuality or origin. So either way... I know that Mark will most likely never see this, but... oh well.
Mark,
I just wanted to say thank you for making that video. Someone needed to address these things, especially for Felix. Someone needed to have the guts to step up and be the bigger person and say something to stop this. And your right. Respect has gone down and even changed over the years. Respect used to be exactly as you described it, but now it has became a kind of exceptional thing. People seem to think that only sertain people deserve to get respect and others deserve nothing other than hatred and people are okay with this! It hurts me to see that people are letting this happen, but in reality, I can't say much. I have never said anything. Mainly because I am afraid. So thank you so much Mark.
