We Are Individuals

I hate shut minds, people who never see gray.
I hate rudeness, and ridiculous amounts of violence.
I hate assault rifles. No one needs them. There is no reason.
I hate prejudice, racism, and sexism. 
I hate generalizations about people.
All black people…
All white people….
All Democrats….
All Republicans…
All women…
All men…
I hate shut minds and the experts who do not understand
That when they shut them, they are excluding millions of people
Who might show them
That there is no all in any group of people
We are individuals.
All of us.
Every
One.

we surely are all individuals and should never be grouped together, but we here it all the time... good write!

I am astounded when someone says "all Republicans" - because it is never true, yet, they do, and more than a bit.
