I Don't Understand Why Things Are This Way

It is what it is.

I Don't Understand Why Things Are This Way

I don't understand why? I don't understand why things have to be this way. Why are things so complicated? America and the way people think. The growing ignorance that submerges this country is remarkable. I don't understand why cops think they can kill unarmed and falsely accused people. I don't understand how people can say racist things on the low and out loud. The idea that your sister's boyfriend is black does not give you the right to say the word. I don't understand how we can attempt to build a wall to keep needing people out? So what they come illegally because their hometown is threatening to kill them? The only jobs they have "taken" are the ones Americans don't want. At least they are willing to work for what they want. Americans just sit around and complain expecting God to work miracles.

Now, don't get me wrong there are Americans who work their butts off to make a change and to strive in life but as always we are cheated out of the system because somebody cheated the system. Speaking of the system, it's totally screwed. The fact that people can hijack it and never face jail time is disturbing. For instance, a black and white man robs a bank the black man gets life in prison maybe even the death penalty while the white man gets 15 years of probation. I don't understand. I don't understand how's there are thousands of children in need and stuck in the foster system to be lost and forgotten. I don't understand how the government can tell people if they are poor or not. I just don't understand. I don't understand how a father can grave a taste of a daughter or a son. I don't understand why people can't understand LGBT rights. I just don't understand America and its society.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
