Read Me Out Loud

Chapter 4 - Judging With Respect

 Whether your love who you are or not, it all has to do with respect. What I mean is self respect. If you don't have self respect, how do you expect people to respect you? In middle & high school, kids try to find out who they are. Even I'm still figuring it out. Figureing out who you are, all has to do with respect. It's hard to learn how to respect yourself

        Even I don't respect & love myself all the way yet, but I'm getting. It's ok to not be there yet as long as you know that you will one day. It really does take time. Some people are confortable in their own skin & I congradulate them! It's not something everyone is born with, it has to be learned.

        This is something certain struggle with, skin color. Some people feel that their skin color is bad for some stupid reason that someone made up. For example, Black (yes I said black sorry if you prefer African American) people say that they don't want to be black because people say 'They have huge lips & smell bad'. Not totally true! It all depends in the person! Black people do tend to have bigger lips, but not all do. And about the smell, it all depends on the person whether they shower a lot or wear some kind of scent such as perfume, deoderant, cologne, etc.

        Mexcans are accused of hopping the border all the time. ALL THE TIME. It's so annoying! Not just that, they are accused of stealing & other shit. The first one blamed is usually mexican. Now I'm not that much mexican, but I have it in me somewhere so it's still a little offending. 

        Asains have a bunch of things on them. Let's start with the fact that people say that Asains are all smart. Wrong! I know some not smart Asains. Next, Asains are accused of planning to take over the world. That's about the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard. Why the fuck would someone think that & be serious? I have no idea. Lastly, people say that Asains have small penises. It's not necessarily a rumour, but it's not something you should make fun of them for. I mean it's not something they control. Not all Asains have small penises though, but usually their the smallest on the 'list'. (Not trying to affend anyone at all).

        Lastly, I want to talk about whites. I am white so I can bag on them all I want. Totally joking by the way. People say whites are totally innocent which is so not true. Also people say that we are horrible people cause we were mostly the only race slave owners who knows how long ago. I mean it was probably over 600 years ago (sorry if I'm wrong. I'm bad at history). We don't own slaves now, & we weren't the only race who were slave owners. It happened long ago, so just focus on this generation please.

        Now that we have the rasist part out, time for the homophobe part. People judge gays so quickly that it's crazy. 'Gays ruin the world' 'God hates gays' 'God made Adam & Eve not Adam & Steve'. How rude can people be? God obviously wouldn't put gays on this Earth, if he didn't love them. God loves everyone. No matter what the circumstances. Stop judgeing.

        So basically the point of this chapter, is that people will always judge, but you should only judge with respect. Whether their black, white, asain, mexican, gay, straight, etc, they all deserve all the rights that you do because we all have one thing in common. We're all human. Thank you. Progress has been made. <3
