We Will Overcome Ignorance And Prejudice

I have four
Muslim,
or
Islamic,
or
Arabic Friends
in this
World.
Yes,

I am really naive on the proper etiquette,
of what I should call my friends,
as far as their ethnic background is concerned.

If I see one of them,
I don't go,
"Hey Kuwaiti!"

Or,
"Hi Iranian!"

Or even,
"Hello Afghanistanians!"

Excuse that last one.

I believe I made up that word,
Afghanistanians.

When I see them I say,
"Hello,
or
"Hi."

I am sure they don't look at me
and say,
"There Is My Infidel American Friend."

In all walks of life,
Rich Or Poor,
Educated Or Uneducated,
A Person Of Color......

Wait,
come to think of it,
we are all people of color.

Be it
Chartreuse,
Indigo,
Violet,
Olive,
Umber,
or any
Crayola Color.

We are all just people.
But,

in all walks of life
and in every ethnic background,
there are loonies who will hate the normality of everyday life.
Because they believe they are better then other people because of a skin color.
How stupid is that!

They will perform ghastly acts of violence against another human being just to get their 15 minutes of fame in life.

Terrorists come from all walks of life too.

From all
Economic,
and
Social Classes.

 Remember

Timothy McVeigh
and the
Oklahoma City Bombing? 

Remember
Osama Bin Laden?

He was born
Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden
on
March 10, 1957,
in
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
to construction billionaire
Mohammed Awad bin Laden
and
Mohammed's 10th Wife,
Syrian-born
Alia Ghanem.

Terrorist operate in every country of the
World.
Yes,
even in the
Soviet Union
and
China.

So next time you look at someone
and you feel the urge to have one of those prejudiced moments,
relax.

Stop hating.

When the
Germans
came into this country,
they were persecuted for being infidels.

The
Jews,
the
Irish,
and the
Italians
were treated the same way when they got here.

All
Asian
groups were treated the same way on the
West Coast.

The
Spanish,
the
French,
the
English,
and even the
Danish
had their moments of persecution.

They were all hated,
eventually,
by the true first
Americans
when they got here.
Because they claimed the
Land,
Water,
and
Food
as their own.

Not like the
Native American Indians,
who knew that
Mother Nature
is the rightful owner of everything on this
Earth!
 
This is,
 Believing We Will Overcome Ignorance
And Prejudice Someday Soon, 
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.”
- Charlotte Brontë, -

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
- Martin Luther King Jr. -

“There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.”
- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
