I find it surprizing that todays Amercian society has not changed much over the hundereds of years of hate violence and discrimination. All caused over ones ideals, religion, race, and sexual orientation. The kinda of thing that created the Salem witch hunts, Segergation, and many many riots and hate crimes. To me i find it absolutely insane that americans can not adapt and learn from their past and realize that the pain hate and evilness created from judgeing people for their differences. We say we are built on the ideals that everyone was created equally under one nation.
Surprisingly enough that is not true. For in this american society we find that our free will and our free rights contribute to the process of begin constantly judged by our peers and superiors. When one says we believe in a certain ideal that is outside the norm people in their little mind and thier little groupings begin to take notice and start to talk and judge them on thoses ideals and because their afraid of change. They will begin to avoid contact with said free thinking individual and will send out a warning that they should either conform to the societies standards or be shunded by every one that knows the individual.
When did it become strange to have a free mind? When did it become ok to pass judgement on each others differences? Why must the same close mindedness that created riots and destroyed lives be repeated over and over again? Are we suposed to sacirfice or free minds,will and ideals to what others find normal and right to think about?
May be when your at work but i still want to believe in the america that stood for equality,creativeity , the strange and the unqiue. We are americans we are all equals but we all have seperate minds,hearts, and souls.

Very little has genuinely changed in over 200 years. It's not a reflection of American society in particular, it's a reflection of humanity. You could've been able to see it coming for a long time now.
BUT... frankly it is still somewhat better in america than in other places in the world... and since we are made up of the people who've come in from other places in the world it's really no small surprise that such closemindedness still exists... but the fact that it still remains better than how ya might be treated in some other countries fer yer differences means that america has come a long way... even if it is only at a slow crawl :P
But it has lessened over the years... Now instead of calling it racism... They just reword the racism and call it pollitical correctness.
(if you havent seen the movie see it to understand what i mean)
