All Men Are Created Equal - Tumblr Posts
let me tell you one thing, one single and simple pure thing that will probably be thrown stones and rocks at by supporters of this movement.
"we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal."
all, see? men, he meant, humans. human beings. equal rights. see? but equal laws for everyone, too.
we don't bloody care where you are from. we don't bloody care what your sexual orientation is.
we don't fucking care what colour your skin is.
as long as you can hold an adequate, intelligent and rational conversation, as long as you obey the law, as long as you know what you're talking about, as long as you are willing to work, learn, help, cooperate and, if to fight, then fight for common sense - which is not so difficult to understand and accept - you are welcome to the world, multilingual, multicultural, multiracial.
but.
when you demolish monuments to people that have done everything to bring peace and harmony to the country they fought for, when you rob and destroy the streets that were meant to be full of people having a safe life, when you point a gun at a pregnant woman, when you worship a criminal - you deserve nothing. we interpret you as a threat, which you truly are. we think of you as a traitor to peace that we all wish for.
more than that, due to the situation of a pandemic we all live in, you should all be wearing masks, which you clearly are NOT doing. therefore, we also interpret you as a threat for the spreading of the virus that has taken so many lives already.
all lives matter. we don't see colour. and if you do, you're doing what you're fighting against.
everyone matters.
every single soul.
i matter.
you matter.
and your friend maggie matters.
and my neighbour kyle, they matter too.
and that asian boy i see kicking a stone out of his way across the street, he matters too.
because if anyone gets harmed or hurt in any way, i will stand for them - because i have the obligation and order, as a citizen of this world, to protect everyone at the same time, and to stand for everyone around me, no matter the nationality or ethnicity.
and if anyone in my presence gets seriously hurt by a dark-skinned person, i shall not protect that person saying that they, actually, are fighting for their rights for being dark-skinned. no matter what kinds of protests are going out there.
any kind of physical or moral harassment is blind to ethnicities.
a crime is a crime.
and i will never elevate one ethnicity over another, because it isn't how it works.
