All bigotry is rooted in fear.
Fear of the unknown.
Fear of enlightenment.
Fear of adaptation.
Bigotry begets hatred.
Bigotry begets violence.
Bigotry begets war.
Bigotry begets death.
This Memorial Day and every day –
Embrace the unknown.
Welcome enlightenment.
Permit adaptation.
Renounce hatred.
Eschew violence.
Prevent war.
Eliminate death.
Choose instead to be a beacon of love.

@ChippySuave James Baldwin: “I imagine that one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, that they will be forced to deal with pain.”
