LABELING

Are you willing to be bar coded or labeled because that is what's happening to you on social media. People you hardly know are forming opinions of what you are like through your postings. They will have a tendency to categorize you without taking into contention the complexities of just being human. They have little room for middle ground, you either are or you are not for or against. We all have knowledge of the abominable "Yellow Star" that was pinned on the Jews to identify them in Germany, well there are people in this country who would like to figuratively pin stars on you to know your religion, ethnicity and where you stand. A country that once took pride in being the melting pot has now stirred that pot up to a boiling point as we are seeing more violence break out in our communities. I'm afraid this long hot summer has only begun, I pray I am wrong.
