Sadly Stuck in an Archiac State of Mind

     So I am sitting on my couch today watching television getting ready to take a nap. I then see a really cute Cheerios commercial about a family eating cheerios for breakfast. I thought the little girl was really cute, and I remembered that I had seen that little girl before, but where?

 

     A few seconds later, it came to me. I remembered seeing her in the Huffington post a while back! I like to be correct about things so I looked it up and sure enough, the very same adorable little girl was on the front of the Huffington Post from May 31st.The reason? This commercial apparently got backlash from commentators on You Tube and other sources, 

because. the. family. was. mixed.
 

    

Are you joking? Are we not in 2013?

     It seems to me that issues that have existed in the world never truly go away, and that makes me sad. There are still people who feel the need to hang onto these bigoted ideas and refuse to let them go. The rest of the world moves on, while these people wither away in their own conceived misery of the world.
     I appreciate sources, one being the Huffington Post, for calling these people out. I think it is great that people out there will stand up for the right thing. Watch this clip in response to the backlash. I love how they are making a clear bold statement that these issues are inane, and people need to move on.

     My point,  Citizens of this country are currently fighting for equal rights; murder is on the news almost every day; our economy is slowly crippling; there are still people (in this country) who are hungry with nothing to eat; water is not guaranteed in every city around the world, and not everyone has someone to hug. Yet, people are worried about a mixed race family. I think what this country needs is for everyone to worry about themselves, and what directly affects their life. If it doesn't have to do with you, your income, your family, or your belongings, then it doesn't concern you. Let the world be, and enjoy your days on this Earth. They are limited and should not be spent worrying about the wrong things.

Just some food for thought...
