It is a crime to hate; it is a crime to demean another human being; it is a crime to profusely call someone so many ugly names. Whether you realize it or not, these things make you look nasty and ugly. When you act and carry on like a wild buffoon, you begin to reek of a stench greater than that of a decomposing body. You also become as attractive as a maggot being born in garbage.
Are you beginning to get the picture of what hate, discrimination, bigotry, lying, cheating and racism can do? Haven't you learned enough about that in your history books, which taught you about the atrocities of slavery? There was also the Civil Rights Movement, where Black children were scarred and killed in bombings. Perhaps you weren't told enough about slavery, perhaps it wasn't taught in your schools, but it needs to be taught.
When something like this is allowed to occur, do you know what this does to the children? Do you know how it makes someone feel to hear others ask, what are they doing here, or why don't they leave? To discover at an impressionable age, that they aren't welcome somewhere can be a confusing and frightening experience. And now you are probably wondering why those children, counselors and parents feel hurt? This wasn't for free; they paid to be able to swim. When their money was refunded without explanation, in essence you told them that their money wasn't good enough. Remember Blacks and Hispanics have feeling too, and the younger they are, the more hurt they feel.
Be very careful of what you do to the little ones; they will not forget. Be careful of how you treat people; people don't forget. Be careful because so much is taught when you slander, hate, and terrorize people. Hate, racism and discrimination lead to other things, and those things aren't nice. It would be wise to learn how to nurture friendship; when you do that, then you could start to nurture love, for that is the essence of what we all need and want. We must learn to be color blind, so be good to yourself and others, and start nurturing something that is beautiful.
