Why in this day and age do I have to defend myself for my thoughts and ideas? Why do I have to be insulted, berated, called names and be made to feel threatened just because I have a difference of opinion? Why must I always have to block, unfollow or hide posts from people? These are all rhetorical questions but this is what happens to me every day on Social media so let’s set things straight…
I am NOT a Trump supporter. Just because I don’t think Kathy Griffin is justified in what she did and because I agree that she should be punished does not mean I support the 45th President of the US. Because I don’t think comparing his cheating, lying, racist, xenophobic beliefs to what the Secret Service is investigating as a threat to his life does not mean I am one of his supporters. Because I think she did it for more than shock value but to boost her career does not mean I like him. Because I respect the office that he upholds rather than respect her for what she did, does not make me a supporter. I believe what goes around comes around and he will get his in the future; as for Kathy Griffin, life’s a b**** and that b**** just kicked her in the a**.
I am NOT a terrorist supporter. Just because I believe that all Muslims aren’t terrorists does not mean I support terrorism. Because I believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty does not make me a terrorist supporter. Because I believe that just because someone’s family comes from the Middle East does NOT make them a terrorist does not mean I am a terrorist sympathizer. I simply believe that not all Muslims are terrorists and not all terrorists are Muslim.
I am not usually so sensitive but when I am constantly being accused of being something I’m not, I feel I need to set things straight. I am a b****, I am opinionated, I am passionate about what I believe in, but I am not a supporter of people who set out to deliberately hurt or kill others. Enough said?
And I am outta here.
