Racism stupidity

Good evening. How are you guys tonight? I know it has been a few days since my last post. I got lost in the WOW world, then I took a break from it today to write on my next book. It is going well, and I still am hoping to meet my deadline of mid-May.
If you don't mind, I have to unload for a moment. I am about to explode. In the town next to me, someone spray painted KKK and a swastika symbol on a building frequented by mainly African Americans. People are trying to say it means nothing and is just a prank by a teen. I don't care if it is a prank. It is a hate crime. Period. Now the NAACP is saying it needs to be turned over to SBI and the FBI. Many people are upset and all this has done is raised racial tensions.
America, when are we going to get our heads out of our butts and look beyond the color of a person's skin and see everyone as humans instead of a race? What does the color have to do with anything? We are all human, so why hate for the shade of their skin? It is just ridiculous.
I have taught my kids not to hate people. They can dislike someone, but hate is wrong when it comes to a human being. Why can we not get over this issue? It is everywhere. You fill out a job application, you have to answer the question about your race. I say we stop answering. Just don't tell anyone what race you are.
Plus, hate takes so much time and energy out of you. Who has time for that? Not me. I have better things to do with my time than think of ways to cause pain to someone else.
It is time this crap ends people. It doesn't matter what your color is, what matters is how you live your life. Treat others the way you want to be treated. In other words, be respectful to everyone, no matter if they are black, white, red, green, purple, whatever. Although if you run into anyone of the last two colors...give me a call. That I have to see.
I have had my say. Sorry to unload on you like that. If you disagree, let me know. This is America, everyone can voice their own opinion. You have a great night. I am going to bed now. See you tomorrow, unless I get lost in WOW again. Night night!
