"I can not understand. For me, I see your colour, your sexual orientation, your religion, and even your culture, and I see. I see a dark woman walk by me and I think, "Amazingly unique". I see a gay couple walk by me and I think, "Aww, They look so happy". I see a Muslim woman walk past me and I think, "What a beautiful design". I see an African man wearing clothes from his homeland and I think, "Interesting". So I do not understand. I do not comprehend how someone can see a dark skinned African-American woman and tell her she is too dark. How they can take what makes her unique in the world and make her feel shame for it? I can not understand. When someone sees a gay man and decides that they will hate them simply for who they love, I am confused. I cannot see how who they love at the end of the day has to do with your life. It is confusing when a person decides that because of who they love, they must dedicate their life to hating these individuals, to insulting them, to hurting them, even when they have done nothing more than listen to their natural instincts. I can not understand. When a woman wears a hijab and is demoralized for it, I am taken aback. She chooses to wear it and she is proud, yet many seek to shame her for it. They see only their idea of oppression, not her sense of freedom and beauty. I can not understand. When a man walks dressed in the clothes of his people, he is proud. He is the symbol of a culture that is unique and beautiful, yet many seek to destroy his pride. They see a difference in him they wish to destroy, for reason only they know. I can not understand. I can not understand the need to kill 50 people because of their love, I can not understand the need to cruelly judge and attack a people because of how dark their skin is, I can not understand the desire to destroy all cultures but our own because it is different, and I can not understand the need to subjugate a religion based on the actions of a few. I see her dark skin, I see their love, I see her religion, and I see his culture, and I love them. I understand she is unique, I understand that they are natural, I understand that she is free, and I understand that he is proud. However, I can not understand their pain."
