First off, I would like to apologize to any that saw the argument between myself and a friend on the link where I posted my previous blog. That was completely childish, immature, and it never should have happened. It has sense been deleted as has the friendship. Regardless, out of everyone that read it, I only seemed to have pushed two people's buttons, which is two people two many, however under the context of what the blog was about I guess it definitely could have been worse.
I have read and re-read my previous blog multiple times and in the end my blog was solely about something I read which opened my eyes, and lead me to post about it. If it opened your eyes to something great, if not then that was fine as well. It was never about judgement of any kind. I then asked the questions I asked because I wanted further knowledge of why people post the things they do in regards to racial groups. Some responses I gained were "I share, because I take pride in my culture and I want other to as well." "I share because, usually there is a cute quote and I like it, not necessarily having anything to do with culture." "I share because there is a huge problem with negativity around the black community and I want to shed a more positive light." "I share because I do feel that white women belong with white men and black women belong with black men, I feel like if people stayed within their cultures the world would be a better place." See all of these answers are diverse and different, in (MY) personal opinion the last comment was a little derogatory but that is in (MY) opinion. I asked a question, and I got answers, at the end of the day it was never to demean or conform to my way of thinking it was simply as it was stated.. to gain further knowledge; which I did.
At the end of the day, I have always believed that everyone should be proud of where they come from, but I guess I also believe that as a country we should also work together versus apart and take pride in each others cultures as well. I guess I am really weird because I have always taken interest in learning about others and how other cultures live, and do. I feel like learning this information make me more diverse and culturally aware, so sometimes if I seem stupid for asking these questions, I promise it is not intended I just am trying to better understand others points of views. I have stated multiple times, for I'll state it again, I love all people; White, Black, Asian, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Christian, Jewish, Muslim,, people are people to me and I do not nor have I ever judged people based on their cultures, etc.
I hope that if there were any readers that mis-read what I wrote that this has helped further explain where I am coming from. In a perfect world, none of these things would matter and we would all just get along. Maybe one day or at least wishful thinking.. haha.
With Love.
