The reasons you should meet more people..

  The reason people dislike homosexuals is because of church dogma and what other people like themselves say about them.  Hardly ANYONE that actually knows one personally and has seen their homes/life would know that they are not deserving of the negativity that is poured their way.  Get to know one before you make grand statements about their lives.

 The reason people place so much distrust in African-Americans is due to the fact that they might have NEVER gotten to properly know one.  Working with one is completely different than hanging out, eating dinner at their house and letting your kids play with theirs.  I once had my misgivings about them, as most whites do(be honest with yourselves), but I was invited over for dinner once, then twice, now..many times.  I can safely say that I trust them as much as any other person I know.

  The primary reason people dislike Arabians and Muslims is because of what they hear over the news.  Muslim stories always make big news with Americans, as many of believe that to be Muslim instantly makes one a terrorist.  I have gotten to know many over the years and most have a little more serious approach to the typical, after seeing their lives, LAZY American.  They take any chance possible to get ahead, whether it be accepting no social life to study to be a doctor or work 18 hours a day running a store by themselves, saving everything.  The reason you see them purchase so much is because they SAVE everything.  Here in Texas, they always chose the cheapest places to live, drive crap, and have maybe a few scant pieces of furniture, with $250,000 in the bank.  If more Americans did this, we'd be doing great as a nation..

To Conservatives, each of these types are evil or untrustworthy, but to me, each gives a wonderful chance to learn about someone different and to grow as a person.
