How Dare the Queen!

In the end anti-black, anti-female, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing...... anti-humanism. Shirley Chisholm

     On my Queen E meets the Queen Mary visit, I saw a lot of wonderful things, great fashion and acquired quite a bit of history but there is something that stuck out to me more than Lady GaGa would in a monestary. And that's the 1st, 2nd & 3rd Class Children Playroom aboard ship! WTF? And we wonder why our children partake in the foolishness of ostracizing, discriminating & demeaning their fellow peers. How dare the Queen condone such mayhem?!  This solidifies my belief that hatred & discrimination are traits that are LEARNED and TAUGHT in the household. You mean to tell me that the kiddies couldn't play together regardless of the social and financial statuses of the parents? I should not be surprised but I am. So, the statuses of the parents determined your worth AND how many rocking horses you get to play with? I'll be damned if your parents were on welfare b/c then you maybe subject to play with the ship's rats & rodents! I am so disgusted! (Miss Whitney ringing in my head. "I believe the children are our future. Teach 'em well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside"). Mind you, the 2nd Class Playroom was adjacent to the cocktail lounge. What on earth for? My mum always said that the kiddies should be kept separately from the adults AND their beverages! Hmph...I guess they didn't grow up in the south. Why not keep the kids together to show that no mankind should be treated differently regardless of social and financial differences or is that too much like right? Oh my bad, I forgot about slavery (insert sarcasm). Aren't we supposed to teach our offspring that after all, "We are all God's (or whomever you believe in) children" or do we say "Whomever share the same status, gender, sexuality and race as we do are all God's (or whomever you believe in) children? The latter would be one heck of a damn song title wouldn't you say? Long and illogical as hell! I can imagine the hatred that walked the decks of this damn ship and the song sang on Christmas. "Deck the halls with balls of hatred. Fa la la la la la la la la! Tis the season of foes and folly! Fa la la la la la la la la!" (I know, so random but it fits...sorta). *sighs* We've come so far, to have gone NOWHERE! Queen Mary & I are not of the same royal blood b/c obviously this is NOT the royal treatment especially for inocent children! How dare the Queen!
