“Sometimes we forget that children have just arrived on the earth. They are a little like aliens, coming into beings as bundles of energy and pure potential, here on some exploratory mission and they are just trying to learn what it means to be human.”
David (John Cusack), Martian Child
And they say racism is deadI swear racists are fuckin hilarious! STRAIGHT IGNORANCE LOL THEY REAL MAD
this all starts at home with the filthy ass crackas that they call their parents …
I am reblogging this because it really makes me sad…these kids aren’t born like this…these ideas and words don’t just appear in their vocabulary…as long as there are parents that raise their children with these ideas it will never die…I seriously want to cry…thinking about these kids that LEARN this behavior and then pass it on…sad to know that this is out there and my beautiful children have to live in a world, a country that is supposed to be UNITED, that has people like this in it…it is less accepted I feel and definitely not a popular position, but it still exists and it makes me horribly sad…sad…really fucking sad…it hurts my heart…seriously…smh
…no, no, no…
…we were all born into this world without biases…hate and bigotry are taught/learned and to say other wise would just out right be WRONG…if you have children you know this to be true…the world through a child’s eye are a spectacular porthole…I just want to play with that person no matter what they look like or what they believe…when parents or any adult role model in a child’s life embed ideas into the head of children either by action, words or worse yet, teaching, it closes them off from the rest of the world and from truly being free…don’t force your beliefs on your children…if you truly love them, and as parents I know you do, you will let them decide on their path and not guilt them into doing what YOU believe is the ‘right’ way to live or to simply be…life has many options, many roads and not every person will follow the same road…that is the simple basis of the word INDIVIDUAL…my rant is done…thanks for ‘listening’ :-)

…when I think about how long I have been a father I always get sad…I was never able to prove to others, more so, myself, that I could be a good dad…yeah, there is a difference…I had/have a father. never had a dad. don’t know where he is today. haven’t known where he has been for more than half of my life. when you are young, barely past your teens, you know things. just not all things. truthfully you may never know all thing about parenting but you do learn with experience. as with all things. I did know, however, that when I got the chance to be a dad again, I would give it everything I had. I had to make sure that I had it in me and up until 6 years ago I still wasn’t sure if I did. now I know. I have always had the ability just not the knowledge, wisdom, maturity or opportunity AFTER gaining those three things. now all of the pieces are in place and my misguided choices and missed opportunities are all learning experiences…I have learned a lot…I was given the opportunity six years ago to be a dad. along with my knowledge, slight wisdom and improved maturity I now am one. I love my children…they should know this…to all of the dads out there, Happy Fathers Day…spoil the shit out of them and always, always love them no matter what…watching them grow is the reward for all of the hard work that goes into being a parent and that is way more than I could ever ask for in life…love y’all…
To all of the dads out there…this is one of your two days a year, (the other being your birthday), that should focus on you…the rest of the year is all about your kids…(should be at least)…EVERY decision you make should have them in mind…love y’all Happy Fathers Day!
…it all starts at home…
…we live and teach our children through what we have learned…this world depends on what we as parents set as an example. what we teach our children. what we do is what we are teaching. sometimes without even realizing it. this world, our future depends on what our kids learn. what our children see. it all starts at home…we can teach our young, impressionable minds to love. to understand and continue to learn with every moment they live. then maybe, just maybe, our future will be a bit brighter…the world is full of love but it seems to profit most from the hate…and that, as I believe, is the problem…
‘Mother, father please explain to me Why a world so full of mystery A place so bitter and still so sweet So beautiful and yet so full of sad, sad…
Mother, father please explain to me Why forests march to desert speed While snowcapped mountains melt away What do we tell our babies, when do we say, oh…’

Ahh…the three hours of sleep days begin again today…worth every second…I would give up the world just to make sure this little five year old is happy and to see her face while doing so…sacrifice ALL for your children…yes, ALL
Love
…wise, wise words. for a child or an adult…
