Where is the disconnect? Why are we so separate in a world where it requires us to work together?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell me, when was the last time you treated yourself at the hospital or clinic? When did you service your own car? Flew your own plane? I’ll wait.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through online research reviewing comments and conversations between different races, backgrounds, and countries, I theorize that there’s a lack of appreciation for culture.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Culture? Like art, dance, and music? The norms and behaviors of people groups? Pop culture? Symbols?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The customs, traditions, and values retained by your community, ethnic group or nation. US is special because there are so many cultures. But the conversations and actions that have been taking place seem to suggest that there is a lack of respect for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Spread Culture, Not Hate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#GetSomeCulture is the response to that lack of respect. The formula:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lack of knowledge<\/strong> (i.e. assumptions and stereotypes) +<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lack of culture<\/strong> (intolerance, no appreciation, isolation) =<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HATE, RACISM (and other isms), DISCRIMINATION<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interacting with representatives of different cultures, spreading the love, appreciating, loving and accepting those for who they are, is what #GetSomeCulture is all about.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spread Culture. Not Hate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
