What are the chances?

What are the chances that the first person to view my blog and post a comment would help me get my point across? "Heather," I guess, tried to engage me in some kind of discourse by calling me gay. Was that to rile? To be cruel?

Anyone reading this should be a little pissed off that "Heather" called me gay. What if I am? Does it matter? Of course, she makes sure that she qualifies her question by saying, "Not that there's anything wrong with that." Then why say it? But why stop there? Why not call me a communist, nazi or muslim terrorist? Better yet, why not a gook, spic, chink, dago, wop, polock, kike, hymie, redneck, nigger, honkey or yankee? I could be anyone, everyone.

The point of my first blog was why are we intent in this country to always point out "what" we are versus "who" we are? Ever notice when the news media describes a suspect they will always say a "black male," but rarely say a "white male?" If we are going to point it out for one ethnic group, it should be pointed out for all. If they don't say "black male," are we to assume they mean a "white male?" Doesn't make sense and doesn't seem fair, does it?

We are never going to get along in this country unless we begin accepting everyone regardless of their race, ethnicity, nationality or religion and JUST BE. "Heather" shows the common ignorance of most folks by trying to label me as being "gay" and attempting to offend me. You offend me "Heather," all right, but not by calling me "gay," but by calling me anything. To you and everyone that reads this, I am just a blogger sharing my opinion.
