Christians are the only ones raising money for David Dorn's family.
Fucking hell. This hurts to realize. Not an ounce of sympathy for who should have been, and probably was for his small circle, one of their role models. Denial that his life mattered to his family. Denial that his career changed his neighbourhood.
It's one thing to be proud of your ancestor's strengths that ended up with you being alive, here, in the sliver of time, evolution and technology that allows us to archive and shitpost; quite another to use the (relatively) small differences as an excuse to destroy anything you can get your hands on like a raging animal.
More died to getting us to this point than anyone can possibly convieve, for every person alive there's billions upon billions of ancestors, and they have such a small mind to think that out of all those before them, they have to destroy everything everybody else worked for, to ensure they were born?
Because some lives matter more? Is this inbuilt distrust bad? No, some people are scum, and you want to be able to tell that. I don't like how things are going any more than anyone else. I don't like having to pick out friends from enemies. I REALLY don't like someone telling me who I can and can't trust and respect just because they look different from me.
I've seen people that look a lot closer to I do act like complete pieces of shit, in fact I've seen people who look like all sorts act like this. Don't we get to judge a person's qualities over their apperance? Not once growing up was I told, "Fear/hate people that Look Like This." I was told, "Fear/hate people that
Do These Things."
If I really felt the way they want to portray me as, I would be ensuring that they would be acutely aware of how much disdain I have for them. I would be spending a huge amount of time and energy into making sure they felt invalidated and immoral simply for existing. I would make sure every one of them knew how much hate and vitriol flows towards them. Wait, this part sounds familiar.
