    If your religious beliefs dictate that you need to discriminate against another human being,
    my religious beliefs think you're an a--hole.

    and most importantly leave credit :-*
    w e are beautiful to you because we are black but not too black. We are brown but not too brown. We are European enough to fit into your Eurocentric view of beauty but non-white enough to be unusual and interesting. We are similar enough to be safe and different enough to be exciting. Isn't that what you're really saying? These ideals of light skin and Europeanized features contribute to the discrimination of darker skinned/non-European people. Do you realize that when you raise me as an ideal you are saying that I am more beautiful than my own community of colour? You divide me from my own people because you position me as more desirable than they are. In saying this you not only marginalize mixed race individuals from within their own ethnic communities but you condemn POC by saying that they are too black, too brown, too coloured.

    We're not different, we are all the same people, we eat, we sleep, we live and we die it's just that you're blind from the reality.

    He's black when he's just himself.
    He'sblack when he's been lying in the sun.
    He's black when he's cold.
    He's black when he feels ill.
    He's black when he's sweaty, and has just worked out.
    He'sblack when he's critically ill.
    You're white when you're yourself.
    You're red or brown when you've been lying in the sun.
    You're blue when you're cold.
    You're green when you're ill.
    You're pink when you're sweaty, and have just worked out.
    You're yellow when you're critically ill.
    Why did you just call him "coloured"?

    you're religious? okay, that's cool
    you're not religious? that's cool too
    you're gay? that's fine
    you aren't? that's fine too
    your skin is a certain colour? what does that matter?
    you're not stick thin? real friends don't care
    you are? yeah, that's fine
    you have a disability? I'll help you if you need it
    you self harm? I'll be there to help you
    you've got issues? doesn't change you and I'll still be there
    you styled your hair weird? being unique is a gift
    you have to wear certain clothes? what does an outfit mean?
    you're scared of something? so are most people
    you judge people? fall. down a deep, deep well. ponder on your actions. grow up a little. hit the bottom and start again. because you know what? everyone is a person, it's our actions and influences which define us as people. not race, or religion, or s.exuality, or problems, or style, or weight, or fears. have you reached the bottom? good. start again, to the top. you're there when you stop judging.

    You know what I seriously HATE on Witty?
    & I'm only saying this because I noticed it over a million times over the 3 years I've been on Witty.
    When a girl adds a quote saying,
    "I feel so lonely and out of place." " I need true friends",
    she gets 1 like, OKAY maybe even 5.
    Then, all is forgotten about.
    But when a guy adds a quote saying,
    "I'm bored" "I'm sad" "I need someone to talk to"
    BAM. Suddenly EVERYONE is a good listener,
    EVERYONE is willing to listen to him vent.
    Really? I'm not saying you shouldn't lend a helping hand to a stranger in need to a friend, on the contrary, you SHOULD be doing that. Except, don't be discriminating. Don't pick to help out guys over girls, populars over the not-so-populars, straights over gays or vice versa.
    I mean isn't this what we ALL keep talking about?
    This girl could be on the verge of killing herself for all we know, but we keep scrolling past that quote.
    We keep asking people to treat everyone equally to make this world or at least Witty a place where evryone feels home.
    Well, I don't think we're doing a great job ourselves.
    I know most of you will just skip this, I don't care.
    I just needed to get it off my chest.
    Jussayin.

    Someone cutting up a CHICKEN...
    Vegetarian: EW! :( So cruel. Why would someone do such a thing?
    Non-Vegetarian: Huh? It's just a chicken. Toughen up, I mean seriously! A real person eats meat. We naturally are meat-eaters. Also, you're made of it!
    Vegetarian: The chicken had a life too...
    Non-Vegetarian: It doesn't matter.
    Someone cutting up a DOG...
    Vegetarian: EW! :( So cruel. Why would someone do such a thing?
    Non-Vegetarian: What!? Why would someone cut up a fluffy puppy? I'm seriously going to teach that guy a lesson...
    Vegetarian: The same way he cut up a chicken. They both have a life, none is more important than the other.
    Non-Vegetarian: But...
    See the difference? Next time, don't make fun of a vegetarian. We have our own beliefs, and you have your own. If you are non-vegetarian, and made fun of a vegetarian, please consider saying sorry. I know how it feels. This isn't directed towards all non-vegetarians, but some that don't understand. I hope you understand. :)

    Hey Supreme Court!
    I just want to be able to go to my:
    Brother's
    Uncles'
    Friends'
    Wedding!
    Marriage Equality has nothing to do with your beliefs, it has everything to do with the rights that every person deserves.

    Why does racial discrimination occur?
    We might be different skin colors,
    but we are all human.
    We might be from different parts of the world,
    but we are all live on earth.
    We might be of different religions,
    but they all teach to be peaceful.
    We might not know much about each others' cultures,
    but we all breathe the same air.

    Racial discrimination, hating people because of the colour of their skin, is the worst nastiness a person can invent because it's totally unjustified.

    Imagine if you got blamed for having cancer.
    End the stigma and discrimination of mental illness.
