"OFF WITH IT'S HEAD!"--death to discrimination

OFF WITH IT'S HEAD!!!

The other day some friends and I were having a casual conversation with a stranger (emphasis on strange) we didn't know this lady from Adam yet she was telling us great details about herself and her recent trip to Mexico...THEN suddenly and without warning out came a despicable racial slur against not one but two ethnic groups and immediately I was outraged!! I heard one of the voices in my head shout, "OFF WITH HER HEAD!!" and I visualized myself jumping to my feet to defend those whom she was insulting!!!

I of course, having some tact...not to mention the fact that I had just driven down "deliverance road" and was surrounded by strangers...remained seated and exercised self-control. I was astounded at the audacity of this woman to assume that I too was an ignorant jackass that would accept and join in her bigotry. When in reality I wanted to say to this woman, "ma'am I am bi-racial" (just to watch her face drop) But again I kept my mouth shut and my sword sheathed. 


Racism--Bigotry--Discrimination of any kind infuriates me. I HATE hate...plain and simple whether it be against race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation (If this lady only knew who she was talking to:) I'm at a place in my life where I am wielding a sword and I'm prepared to draw it each time discrimination of ANY kind rears it's ugly head!!!  The longer we tolerate "intolerance" the longer we have to listen to it... 

I say, "OFF WITH IT'S HEAD!!!"
