    I love this so very much :).

    But i wish people would show this to the lgbt community, religious people and people who follow politics, all they do is label. I have been saying this for a while now, there are no need for labels. But sadly how the world is we have too many labels and it will never change

    Yoshi are you saying that the LGBT, religious, and political people are those who label? Trying to make sense of the way I read your first sentence (it's still early here, sorry haha).

    I haven't been able to watch the video yet, but will do so when I can :)

    OKAY, just watched, and oh - my - goodness.

    So much YES. I absolutely loved this entire message. We put labels on ourselves without even realizing it, some good, some bad, some destructive, some uplifting. Racism is a heart issue, and these labels stem from that mess. This was really inspiring.

    It's really is an inspirational message isn't t?

    Labels are for food not people, I always say that!

    Tired of fake deep male poets omg...

    also, what people do not understand
    is that labels are a generational thing
    once upon a time you needed them to enter certain spaces...

    you can't be talking on black issues,
    if you're not black..
    Prince EA has to go back to rapping...

    pow pow

    Yakari, you are right I think they are generational but my question is why do we have such labels??

    Labels go beyond the color of our skin, though, and they're incredibly damaging.

    They sure do Britt. I've been labelled all my life without people knowing me and it can be very damaging. People commit suicide because of labels!!

    Labels are an escape from seeing what's really in front of you and having to think about each person on a case-by-case basis.

    At best, labels are working hypotheses.
    At worst they are imprisoning pigeonholes.
    but mostly they are lazy substitutes for paying attention.
