The One and Only

Has anyone seen the newest Cheerio commercial? It is one of the most precious commercials I've ever seen. It features a beautiful little girl (with the most amazing hair!) and her mom talking about the heart health of Cheerios. The little girl then runs off and dumps a bunch on her father's chest, because she wants his heart to be healthy.



Now, did you see anything wrong with that commercial?

No?

Neither did I. But apparently a bunch of people did.

I get really tired of blogging about how ignorant and racist people are. I get really tired of seeing it all over my computer screen. I get tired of hearing about the evils of immigration and the evils of gay sex and the evils of interracial relationships.

You know what I see when I watch that commercial? A little girl that loves her Daddy so much she wants him to be healthy. I don't see color, I don't see who her parents are. I see a child who loves their parent.

Its exhausting, sometimes. Standing up when everyone seems to have glued themselves to their seats. Seriously, this is 2013! GROW UP! We're not our ancestors, trapped in the muck and mire of hatred and ignorance. We are the NEW AGE. We are the FUTURE.

Its sad times when a Hispanic kid is told to "#gohome" simply because he is Hispanic. No one seems to care that he was born HERE and raised HERE. We see his skin and say "He's illegal."

We have a black president and everyone is up in arms about every little thing he does, even though the presidents before him did the same damn thing. You know why? Because he's Black and Bush was white. And even though the majority of people I know HATED Bush, they say Obama is awful and Bush was better and blah blah fucking blah!

I'm OVER it.

GROW THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!
