Discrimination since the beginning of time

Discrimination has hurt populations since the beginning on time. America was founded by a group of individuals seeking relief from religious discrimination. To me there is no such thing as deserving or not deserving. If a population is vulnerable it simply means they need even more help.

It is a sick circle that traps these vulnerable populations. They are frequently poor, and lack access to food, healthcare, and other necessities for a healthy life, but because they appear different then their neighbors people think less of them. Sometimes even to the point where people say they deserve where they are and how they are treated. That is the saddest statement I can think of. No one deserves to suffer the way the Romas do, or the homeless in America do.

This video should make everyone open their eyes. There is discrimination everywhere, and even if we don't know about it that certainly does not mean it isn't there. Photographs of people continuing their beach holiday as two young Roma girls lie dead under blankets on the sand is heartbreaking. Equally as heartbreaking though is the discrimination we haven't yet heard about or had to witness picture evidence as documentation. Everyone is worthy of help when they need it, be it a homeless person who needs help finding shelter, a Roma needing healthcare, or a small child who has lost their way. They all have something in common. They are vulnerable.
