Discrimination

America has gone through quite a lot in terms of discrimination and equal rights. However, it's not quite there yet. I suppose it is fairly recent that women and African American's were allowed to vote, but to me it seems so pathetic that it's taking us so long and we're still not even there yet.

"Treat others as you would like to be treated." It's the most basic moral principle and yet no body knows what it means or how important it is. We're still in the process of developing our society and ever so slowly the progressive types have improved conditions for many people throughout this country. However, there's always people (usually conservatives/republicans/whatever-you-want-to-call-yourselves) that discriminate.

Well you know what? I disapprove of YOU. How would you feel if I just shouted constantly that you should leave my country and that you don't belong here because this country belongs to "better" people than you. Think about the result of your actions from the other perspective. If you've ever said a hateful comment about a certain stereotype then you should honestly be ashamed of yourself.

We still have discrimination issues with race, gender, religion (or lack-of), sexuality, age, national origin, etc.
Women still don't make as much money in the workplace as men.
African Americans may receive "extra" attention in gaining jobs but that's just as discriminatory.
There has never been an atheist president and very few in any political office.
The debate continues over whether Homosexuals 'deserve' the right to be married.

Everyone should already know not to discriminate, but somehow, I fear, the discrimination may be increasing. And if it continues, then I hope I have enough time to pack up and get of this country before it blows up in your faces.
