I was planning to write this post on music and how we should listen to songs based on whether they are good as a whole without any prejudice to genre and/or artist but after what occurred with Christopher Paul Hasson & Jussie Smollett I decided this post needed to be expanded. Let us be clear that what Christopher Hasson is accused of wanting to do is vile and behind any real comparison with Jussie Smollett except that they are both based on prejudice. Pre-judging certain individuals based on race or religion and/or political philosophy is wrong! Just as it is important to listen to a song with an open mind we should listen to others without deciding what they are going to say or do before they actually speak. We have every right to disagree vehemently with another individual position yet still find things we love about them. Let us refrain from pre-judging and instead open our minds to those we have too often closed before.
