racism and other thoughts--June 1, 2020

It has been a while and it's a new month, but instead of starting fresh we must once again be reminded of how little growth we have done in regards to treating each other equally and with respect. Of course we focus more on the racism and discrimination that occurs here in the United States because, you know it is our own backyard, but no one people are innocent of mistreating others. That is beside the point and I have to focus on what is going in the here and now.

George Floyd on May 25, 2020 was murdered by police officers in Minnesota. This is a tragedy putting it lightly. I'm only going to say this regarding the matter. People have a right to protest. Those who go to protest and then go to loot do not respect anybody and degrade the movement for better and equal rights. Props to the protesters and you looters disgust me. That is it. 

May has been a rough month. Family tragedy and scares. Personally employment is still nonexistent and socially communication outside of the family is forced. You can interpret that however you'd like. To that last point, I'm not nessarily craving the need to talk to others but that can easily be me making the excuse of I don't need anybody to not put myself out there. I think it is easier for me to see how shallow people are by the way people react to the death of mi tío. I understand the difficulty it is to donate money especially in these hard times... I'm going to stop, I don't know all the details.... It just felt like people did not want to share to their sphere of influences for a small cause. Yet people easily share a post that makes them appear they understand or respect a cause or to share a post to benefit them. Where were your posts before the tragedy happened, since when did you care about the cause? What the hell is your post going to do, huh, you stupid, selfish people? 

I'm never going to understand people. Just to be clear I don't think I'm better than you or that I'm above you. There are a whole lot of people out there that do so much more. I mean, what exactly makes someone better than another person? I guess that's the whole point no one is better than anyone else. We are all gifted and flawed in different unique ways. I'm just saying don't go out there pretending someone you are not.
