Hate is a word that isn't needed here. I would say that more then 50% of the people who consider themselves christians do not agree with homosexual people being married/ dont think they deserve equal rights. And yes, some christians DO hate gays. But you guys have to look beside yourselves and look at the complete picture. For every one of you christian guys on here, there is at least 2 other christians who in some shape or form do not like gay people. There are a lot of "christians" (especially out here in the country mcdonough area) who you can tell right off the bat when you look in their eyes and you both see a gay couple or a mixed race couple walk by, that they have a HUGE problem with it.

funny thing is....... SOME stereotypes are true for the MAJORITY..... im black and love watermelon. im also black with multiple computer networking certifications so the blacks are all lazy doesn't apply to me. but it does apply to the majority of black men i know. sometimes you have to face facts when it comes to the majority. hell, most of the black men at my college are lazy, can you imagine the ones that aren't even in college.
We're so heavily coached not to stereotype anyone or anything these days that people are scared to say anything that could remotely be derived as racism. People also feel the need to over compensate and defend the honor of anyone who might be offended by stereotypes. If someone says something about inbred trailer park meth addict white people from the south being a problem...... my reaction isnt "hey hey hey hey now....... you wait a one gosh darn minute here buddy, according to the census only 21.47% of poverty level white people who inhabit trailer parks in the south have a history of drug related offenses, i take offense to your comment sir" but.... thats the way a lot of people around here seem to respond. Maybe tomorrow i'll wake up in the fantasy land that they live in.

Most stereotypes are funny. They only bother you if you let them. Once you loosen up and learn to take a joke, racial stereotypes are not an issue. I have more black friends than white, i hear most of them use stereotypes on a daily basis. I've invited black friends to a pool party and had them say something like "come on man, im black, you know i aint gettin in no water" or a black friend come over and see me watering the grass and say something like "only at a white person's house".

stereotypes only bother you if you let them. I almost feel sympathy for the people standing up against stereotypes, they must really bother them.
