TIMING IS EVERYTHING The easiest part is changing people’s minds. The toughest part is implementing the change that nobody knows they want because they were brainwashed into wanting something that is not yet available. Governments like to prepare their people for change before that which they’re changing is logistically ready to be changed. Preparation onContinueContinue reading “Timing Is Everything”

A Flaw In The Law
A word isn’t racist depending upon who uses it. That’s a flaw in the law, a flaw based on fear, which means coercion through the application of fear, which means terror tactics used to achieve an end or to support an agenda, which equals terrorism. Making a claim that only certain types of people canContinueContinue reading “A Flaw In The Law”
Face-Talking
Somebody tell Angela Merkel to wear sunglasses in public or stop face-talking when others have the floor. It’s rude and creepy, and shows she lacks discipline and fine manners. Talking about face-talking. Oh my. There are two black guys on CNN, don’t know their names except one has a show of his own and wearsContinueContinue reading “Face-Talking”
What You Laugh At Shows Your Prejudice
This is how Arabs show their prejudice: They take the goofiest Jew on the planet and hold him/her up against the smartest, wealthiest most influential Arab on the planet and have a big laugh over the perceived discrepancy. Arabs laugh a lot – at other races, cultures and nationalities and genders …. Especially when they’re in aContinueContinue reading “What You Laugh At Shows Your Prejudice”
EXTRAPOLATING THE FIVE PRINCIPLES
You don’t have to like old people just because they’re old. You don’t have to dislike old people just because they’re old. Not all old people are the same. No they’re not. Old prejudice leads to new disdain. Disdain leads to new discrimination.
THE HORSE SAID, GET OFF MY BACK
Vegans are always lamenting over the bad treatment toward nonhuman animals by humans (the human animal). We’re all animals, so why no camaraderie toward other species? Why no professional courtesy? The vegans trolling Facebook are always angry at the human, why, why, why, followed by bad-name-slinging and insults. Yet, when they’re criticized they can’t handleContinueContinue reading “THE HORSE SAID, GET OFF MY BACK”
Fighting fire with fire, prejudice with prejudice – where have our brains gone?
Black on white prejudice is just as ugly as any other prejudice. Fighting prejudice with prejudice only creates more discrimination. Stop trying to even a score when you weren’t even in the game. It doesn’t work that way. If prejudice solved prejudice, then discrimination would have been eliminated a long time ago. Prejudice doesn’t happenContinueContinue reading “Fighting fire with fire, prejudice with prejudice – where have our brains gone?”
LET PREJUDICE DIE
I don’t care about history, I make up my own. I don’t have to reconcile my actions with somebody else’s long ago story. I lead my own life. I don’t let my tribe nor clan ancestors nor yours lead my life according to their long dead prejudices. Their prejudices die with them. They’re not supposedContinueContinue reading “LET PREJUDICE DIE”
HAZING
There is no place for hazing anywhere in any society. It should be outlawed, not simply discouraged, no matter where it surfaces as a condition for acceptance into the group – any group. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
TEARING DOWN WALLS
Most people when considering prejudicial issues, erect walls. I also tend to do that, but as the wall rises, I know enough to examine it, while it’s still transparent enough to explore the issues surrounding the wall openly and honestly – not only from my own perspective, because that in itself defies transparency – butContinueContinue reading “TEARING DOWN WALLS”
ONE GOD FITS ALL?
Since when did that all happen? To say that all humans have the same God, the same father – absent a mother – who is all-knowing, all-powerful, all-forgiving, all-good and kind just doesn’t fit the reality of human existence. Famine, disease, war aren’t good, forgiving or kind. There is nothing all-knowing and all-powerful about anybody’sContinueContinue reading “ONE GOD FITS ALL?”
PITY
Pity is a form of prejudice. When you pity someone, you put them beneath you – making yourself superior. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
SENTIENT BEINGS
Animal-eaters will often hear animal rights activists/advocates/vegans refer to all animals as sentient beings. What sentient means is the capacity to perceive, sense and feel. Thus all animals can think, feel emotion (joy through sadness and grief), and experience pain and/or a sense of well-being. It comes with having a nervous system. Non-human animals sufferContinueContinue reading “SENTIENT BEINGS”
PREJUDICE FATIGUE
The stronger, and the longer you hold onto, that prejudice, the easier it is to let it go as fatigue sets in. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight lbt
POSITIVE – PREJUDICE – PROTECTION
The positive side of prejudice is protection of the tribe. It’s nature’s way of alerting us to possible danger when someone unlike us enters are space. It’s human nature and the nature of every other animal. It’s written into our DNA. It’s a survival mechanism. The new kid on the block is always treated withContinueContinue reading “POSITIVE – PREJUDICE – PROTECTION”
“WE DON’T SERVE VEGANS”
A restaurant that does not have an animal-free vegan option, might as well have a sign posted out front: WE DON’T SERVE VEGANS. A restaurant that has only salad greens, oil and vinegar and/or plain white rice, might as well have a sign posted out front: WE DON’T SERVE VEGANS. That’s discrimination for being veganContinueContinue reading ““WE DON’T SERVE VEGANS””
PREJUDICE AGAINST VEGANS
Prejudice and discrimination are growing against vegans. Be above that. They’re the ones who will save your dog, when the economy tanks and people start stealing people’s pets to eat. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
PREACHERS PREACHING PREJUDICE
Instead of the congregation leaving the church with a ‘no one can beat us down’ uplift, they leave with a ‘let’s beat them all up’ attitude that rolls the congregation into a week of day to day challenges, that they’re less able to meet with positive solution solving ways. Oppressed people need to vent inContinueContinue reading “PREACHERS PREACHING PREJUDICE”
EARNING RESPECT
If I have to earn your respect, then your respect isn’t worth having. Forcing someone to earn your respect is an act of prejudice that becomes a process of discrimination. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
WORDS MATTER
1 Jan. 2015 I just saw this headline on Yahoo News via Chicago-Sun Times Entertainment on 2 Jan. 2014: “DEAR ABBY: TEENAGER KNOCKED UP BY FAMILY FRIEND” I couldn’t believe I actually saw that phrase ‘knocked up’ in print. I thought it must mean something different these days, than what it meant many decades ago,ContinueContinue reading “WORDS MATTER”
BABY TO ADULT
No baby can control their sex, color, who their family is, what socio-economic condition they’re born into, nor what genetic predisposition for disease they’re born with, so stop the prejudice and discrimination against the adult that grows from that baby. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
DON STERLING AND DON LEMON SWIM IN THE SAME PREJUDICIAL SEA
I find it odd that not one Black basketball player, coach etc. wimpering on T.V. over Don Sterling’s racist words (especially Doc Rivers) said one thing about the trashy, sexist way Sterling talked about women, making them into nothing more than sex objects. Who’s supposed to be a role model for women here? They’re basketballContinueContinue reading “DON STERLING AND DON LEMON SWIM IN THE SAME PREJUDICIAL SEA”
ARROGANCE IS PREJUDICE
Arrogance is a form of prejudice. Calling people racist who use the word negro in reference to black people is prejudice on the part of the one claiming prejudice. Calling blacks negroes may be outdated, but it’s not racist. You might as well say that calling someone caucasian is racist. Blacks will agree that negroContinueContinue reading “ARROGANCE IS PREJUDICE”
“THE SYSTEM DIDN’T WORK FOR US”
“The system didn’t work for us”. The system wasn’t supposed to work for “us” the black community of America. The system was supposed to work for Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman–only two people–not their parents, siblings, friends nor groups with agendas to raise social issues. Black parents are now worried about what to tell their teenagers aboutContinueContinue reading ““THE SYSTEM DIDN’T WORK FOR US””
SEXISM
The pervasive nature of sexism in all cultures, at all levels of society by all males, makes it nearly impossible for males to recognize the fundamentally flawed foundation from which they base their interactions with females. This lack of awareness of their own prejudices makes growth in breaking down barriers nearly impossible to attain withoutContinueContinue reading “SEXISM”
ANIMAL SACRIFICE
Animal sacrifice isn’t against the law in Texas, USA. Yet, Texas has animal cruelty laws. So that must mean that Texans don’t regard ritual animal sacrifice as cruel. There’s some glitch about being tied up or restricted in movement, whereby the authorities can come to the rescue. So these people with torture tendencies, religious people theyContinueContinue reading “ANIMAL SACRIFICE”
CRUELTY – SOLUTIONS
Cruelty. There’s no shortage of cruelty on this planet. Be assured, however, that when choosing between cruelty and cruelty-free to achieve an end, the cruelty-free solution, although not always expedient, is always beneficial to the entire solution. If you’re bent on the way of cruelty for convenience, be prepared for the cruelty you impose to comeContinueContinue reading “CRUELTY – SOLUTIONS”
‘ISMS’ AND WEDGES
Using ‘ism’ labels to discriminate is part of a propaganda machine used by groups to discredit in the entirety any person who doesn’t support the entirety of what a particular individual, group or nation does and/or supports. The easiest way to accomplish this is to place sweeping labels of prejudice, such as racism, sexism, ageism, anti-semitism,ContinueContinue reading “‘ISMS’ AND WEDGES”
