Generalization is a tool used only by those who do not want to deal with specifics and live by what society tells them without question

Black people are violent

Asian people are smart

Muslims are terrorists

Christians never are terrorists

Culture and cliques will not be defined by the labels you give us and the stereotypes you spread faster than your unvaccinated children spread disease

Your uninformed ideals and philosophies are pulling back those who want to push forward and spreading those ideas through lobbying and brainwashing

You may not want to patch from society 8.1 to 10, but maybe your gay child does

Because the only 2 outcomes of teaching children to hate is either teaching others to hate themselves or hating themselves

Your the reason black people had to fight for the right to be their own person because we didn't know

Your the reason we took Japanese people and caged them because we were afraid

Your the reason that Muslims are afraid because we don't know

You the reason that i'm afraid to be me because you don't know

Ignorance is a tool that only benefits the one using it and screws up what they are trying to fix

Because the only thing that needs fixing is the tool
