All of these meaningful messages really need to be read by the opposite side of the podium, the negative side, all of them need to read it all, including the comments from years gone by!. I mean it makes so much since to a good number of people, not just registrants. It makes common since. Why don’t ” THEY ” the other humans listen and care about how much we human registrants need to be listened to!. We don’t need this the rest of our life. Some of us were living happy productive life’s for years before all of the world come crashing down on us…
There is another way that’s not so demanding!!!…

If you help, more gets done! It is empowering to try to affect positive change. Try to get past the fear and give it a shot, I am sure there is something you can do to help! Even, just giving it a try, is help! There is power in numbers! We should all write the White House from the link Elena Advocates gave us. If we do nothing, nothing will change. Let’s all get involved and work together and make a change!

In reply to Mr. D. Nobody should have to deal with it and as someone who is clearly impacted by a label, one would hope you'd be more sensitive to the concept.

Now people can feel how blacks who have been black all their lives being called THUGS, THIEVES, and Sexual Predators and Dope dealers. It causes in inferior complex that’s long-lasting and shifts changes how people operate in society. BP are still reeling from being called all type of names as a class of people and not individually like M. L. King stated in his address to the nation about Race Relations in America aka AmurdiKKKa. Understand scumbag applies to some and not all unlike when they call black people THUGS, which is all inclusive. Freedom of Speech is still FREE but also can cost you depending on who you speak wrongly to lie the infamous Karens of the world. POC have been dealing with those nasty names as a whole, so now you get a taste of how we feel dealing with it for well, over 500 years and going. DEAL WITH IT!

I needed to read this. Thank you. I recently had a negative interaction with Arkansas registry and was in a downward spiral of self pity and hopelessness. I need to focus on positive things in my life. Again, Thank you

I don’t care how people “see” me. If people judge me once they’ve found out about my “situation” and decide to stay away, that’s on them. If they decide they’re going to harass me, they’re going to be very surprised when they find I harass back.
