It Hurts (My thoughts on current events)

You know what hurts most? 

When people tell you that you need to be open minded and accept everyone's beliefs.  And then those very same people make fun of your personal beliefs or political views because they differ from theirs.  It's hypocritical and hurtful.  I am supposed to be open minded and you don't?  We can't all have different opinions on things and just live and let live? 

Everyday I hear people say racist things about different people groups and then turn around and call racism to anyone who disagrees with them.  For example our current president, not everyone likes him, and many accuse these people of racism saying they don't like him because he is an African American.  Which isn't true, they disagree with his politics just like with every president before him (And to all who think all racism is just against African people, you need to think again it's been around towards all people groups.  I hear more racist comments about Jewish people than I do about any other race).

People have different opinions about everything.  There is a movement happening where people are saying it's wrong to shove personal beliefs onto others, but aren't they themselves doing that by telling everyone they must think that way?
