Spreading the love

It's frustrating, yeah. They don't care what other people think of them, they wear their defiance like a badge of honor. I have wondered if I quoted the bible to them what they would say.... "For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink, I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me" but I'm not religious and don't think it's my place to say that to someone who is, and I don't think it would even get the point across.

So I'm seriously asking, how do you deprogram ignorant hate? It's not as blatant to us as I am sure it is to you because it's rare for someone to just blurt out racist shit to strangers like that, unless of course they're being racist towards someone right then. Like I said in another post yesterday, I also probably self-select here because I don't tolerate racist assholes in my life, so I don't hear racist shit from the people I have kept close.

I just wish I was better at it, I tend to be kind of cerebral and that just doesn't get through to people at all.
