So, I’ve been digging into this whole “discrimination against Sirius Black” thing, and let me tell you, it’s a real mess. I started by just wanting to understand why everyone treated this guy like dirt.
First, I looked into Sirius’s backstory. Man, it’s depressing. You’ve got this guy who’s basically thrown under the bus, and it’s not even his fault. Everyone thinks he’s this big bad traitor, but it turns out he’s been framed all along. It got me thinking, how could they get it so wrong?
- I dove into the whole Black family tree thing.
- It’s like a messed-up soap opera.
- Turns out, they’re all about pure-blood, which is basically their fancy way of saying they’re better than everyone else.
Then I started noticing how certain characters treated folks who weren’t “pure-blood.” Take Hagrid and Lupin, for example. They’re both awesome, but they get treated differently because of their backgrounds. Hagrid’s half-giant, and Lupin’s a werewolf. It’s like there’s this invisible line, and if you’re not on the right side of it, you’re treated like trash.
And Snape? Don’t even get me started. This guy is a full-blown racist. He hates Muggles and anyone who’s not pure-blood. I mean, he’s supposed to be a teacher, but he’s spreading all this hate. It’s wild.
So, I kept digging. And the more I learned, the more messed up it seemed. Especially when you find out the truth about Sirius. I found out he was innocent the whole time, betrayed by someone he trusted. And you’d think that’d change things, right? That people would start treating him with some respect?
Nope. They basically just sweep it under the rug. It’s like they don’t even care that they ruined this guy’s life. I finished my deep dive more confused than ever. It is really hard to understand.
It’s a real eye-opener, though. It makes you think about how people treat each other in the real world, and how easy it is to judge someone based on things they can’t control. It’s a mess, for sure, but it’s a mess that’s worth talking about.
