We can disagree on things like:
Crunchy or smooth peanut butter
If we believe in ghosts or aliens or the Loch Ness Monster
Whether a better vacation is at the beach or in the mountains
Whether Katara should have ended up with Aang or Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender
In what month it is acceptable to begin playing Christmas music
If a later start-time would be beneficial to high school students
Which borough of New York City is the best
Whether pumpkin flavored everything is really good or really overrated
Who the best character in Super Smash Brothers is
If Poptarts or Toaster Strudels are the better breakfast
Whether “smartphones” have made us “smarter” or not
If pineapple goes on pizza
If it’s better to set one alarm for the morning or a series of alarms
The ideal first date and how long to wait (or not wait) before the second
Whether cursive should be taught in schools
Things we cannot disagree on:
BLACK LIVES MATTER
LOVE IS LOVE
NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL
WATER IS LIFE
CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL
“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.” - James Baldwin
