Samantha Ronson posted the entry notated below on her MySpace blog speaking out on hate in 2009 after a woman was the victim of a hate crime committed after a party Samantha had DJ’ed in Seattle. The woman who was beat was allegedly beaten because she was a lesbian.

“NO ONE should have to suffer any sort of attack, verbal or physical, for any reason. there are no excuses for violence- people say “well they’re just ignorant or uneducated” – so what??? i don’t know how to speak chinese, i haven’t studied hinduism, i’ve never been to brazil, that doesn’t mean that i feel that it’s ok for me to hate what i don’t understand, least of all resort to violence when challenged…

it’s 2009 people, why are we still fighting each other? the whole world is a damn mess and we’re too busy hating to come together and change it. President Obama ran a campaign based on hope- not hope for any group of people in particular- hope for everyone. His message was embraced worldwide, so why can’t we, here in the US, fight together instead of with one another? I’m not saying that everyone has to love everyone individually, i’m no hippie, but seriously people, no one should ever resort to violence. What if your sister, mother, brother or father were being pummeled for wearing a red sweater? would you stand by and do nothing? well, we are all someone’s child, sibling, or friend! Open your eyes!

sorry to vent, but that picture above was taken after a girl was attacked at a party i dj’d in seattle, simply for being gay. it’s disgusting.

sorry for rambling, but it makes me so sad that this sh*t happens today.”

I’m going to have to say that I agree with Samantha. I just don’t get what’s wrong with people. I hope that the woman beat will be ok both mentally and physically.
