.....Why?

Seriously here’s a quick question. Why do we have to see negative in everything?

I still don’t understand. People will add a negative to anything someone might start. For instance, take today. I’m seeing a lot of people blacking their profile picture for Trayvon Martin until the verdict. Cool. I like it. I changed mine too. It’s a very nice gesture. Will it help or effect the trial in anyway? I really don’t believe it will but I would like to show support. I’m a person that if there is a way I can show support for something I will. Like maybe donate money or give blood. So of course something so small as changing my avatar on Instagram is no problem, if it’s something I support.

But of course, there are some who find fault in that. It’s a constitutional right to give your
opinion and speak on anything and in this day and age of social media people give their opinions about EVERYTHING. But for the love of God PLEASE DON'T DISAGREE. Then you are everything under the sun but a child of God. It’s really sad. People want to black their profile pic? Let them. It’s the same thing as last year when people wanted to take pictures in hoodies. Here is my question… At the end of the day, HOW does it affect you?

Are you mad now because you can't stalk the profile picture of someone you admire? Or does the color black disturb you THAT much? Support is support. I'm a Saints fan. I know wearing a black & gold shirt won't make us win. It sure didn't for a LONG time. But I'm going to wear one on game day for my support anyway.

A child is dead for no reason. His father won't ever hear his voice, won't ever see him grow to become a man. No parent wants to bury a child. And white or black that's all that matters. You attacking people’s mentality or choices on a day like today doesn’t feel minute to you? If you don’t want to black your picture, cool. Don’t. But saying negative things or making it a bigger issue about the people who do is childish and really petty. For once let something NOT be about you. Do you think Tracy Martin cares about what you disagree with or what you are arguing about on Social Media? I doubt it.

Just something to think about.
