UrbanSwirl: Lifestyles of Color

STOP THE HATRED
(0 votes)


Written by ChiMeng Chang on Sunday, 10 February 2008
stophatred.jpgThe goal of Urbanswirl is to capture and embrace the richness of diversity and differences by promoting the exchange of dialogue and ideas in hopes to diminish and remove the bigotry that lingers in all of us. Urbanswirl value and encourage the discussion of opinions, convictions and attitudes - in order to persuade, educate, enlighten, humorize and/or bring about the understanding and respect of people different from you. Whether you agree or disagree with one's opinions, beliefs or principles, it is the open exchange of dialogue that can bring about change.

Hatred and Bigotry are the Complete Intolerance and Loathing of any creed, belief or opinion that differs from one's own. It is a narrow-minded prejudice that will discriminate and demoralize. It is the root and if not controlled, that could lead to violence and hostility against those one opposes. Bigotry cannot be persuaded nor will ever see the euphemism of their aversion - they are completely blinded by their hate and will vocally and socially act on their detest.

One element that have been able to cross bridges and influence behavior is Humor. The Swirl came across a Craigslist Rant entitled Hating Hatred.
It is poignant, sound and comical that can best deliver the message we want to state. We hope we can begin our lives knowing that in all of us - we do hate.
It is the ability to change that hatred to a "disputable understanding" that we can all live in harmony.

Here is Hating Hatred!

"EVERYBODY hates EVERYBODY ELSE for SOMETHING ....

 But you don't need a website to tell you that; you see it everyday in the real world.

The rich hate the poor for being "low" and bothersome. The poor hate the rich for being stuck-up.
Blue collar hates white collar for having to work for them. White collar hates blue collar for not kissing their asses.

Women hate men. Men hate women who hate men. Women hate men who hate women who hate men. Women hate men for wanting their bodies. Men hate women for wanting their wallets. Boyfriends and husbands hate their girlfriends and wives for taking their freedom. Girfriends and wives hate their boyfriends and husbands for not being perfect.

Fat chicks hate skinny chicks. Skinny chicks hate fat chicks. Fat chicks hate skinny chicks for getting all the guys. Skinny chicks hate fat chicks for hating them for it. Skinny chicks hate guys for looking at them as sex objects, and fat chicks hate guys for not looking at them at all.

Kids hate their parents for being parents. Parents hate their children for making them be parents.

Non-Christians hate Christians. Christians hate non-Christians for hating them. Non-Christians hate Christians for hating them back. Christians hate other Christians for not being the right "kind" of Christians. And everybody hates the Mormons.

Republicans hate Democrats. Democrats hate Republicans. Republicans hate Democrats for not loving their country enough. Democrats hate Republicans for hating the rest of the world. Independents hate both parties for having more money and influence than them. And Ralph Nader hates all of them.

And don't even get me started about race and gays.

My God, when does it stop? It makes me so sad that I want to cry my eyes out for people everywhere. Everybody hates everybody else, and feels completely justified in that hate. Just ask them, and they'll tell you all about the righteousness of their hatred for whoever they hate. But ask someone who they love, and they're strugging to find any answer beyond a significant other and a few family and friends...

Are our capacities to hate so global, but our capacity to love so local and small???

I can't take it anymore... But I guess, I'm no better.
I hate everyone for hating everyone else.

Peace Everyone, seriously."

It's unwise to both posting on Phillyblog is you hope to solve any problem. The thing is a covert marketing site with uses hate and racism to push things like gentrification. Greed does that to people.

Focus your energies elsewhere.
