If you’d been told all your life that bunnies would hunt you down to attack and kill you and rape your mother and children, you’d grow up afraid of them, and wanting to get them before they got you, right?

We’re evolving, slowly but steadily. People who are afraid of other cultures, races and genders have been taught fear. They have lived a life of extremely limited real world experience, often in a small town with little cosmopolitan influence.  They only know what the fearful ones around them have told them is true.  The following question helped me understand how fear is birthed and how racism comes to be. “If a person spent the entirety of their life inside of a pitch dark cave being told every day that the sun was a source of evil, how would they feel after being dragged into daylight?

Hard to ignore something that keeps smacking you in the face, huh, even if it’s something you brought on yourself.

I just put my blue porch lights out to show support for my local law enforcement.

I first thought, heck, we have no crime where I live. Then I realized why.

Blue Lights Out Front To Show Support!

Benny is tired of hearing Lizard Lives matter, Bird Lives matter, Mouse Lives matter. Yeh, yeh he knows “all lives matter” but the hunt is in his blood. His mom was a hunter, his dad was a hunter. He saw them bring home lizards and birds and mice and so he figured that was what he was supposed to do, too. Nobody told him any different. It happens to us humans, too.
