All of this talk of racism right now is very disturbing to me. I was born in 1971 in Houston, Texas. I was raised not to see the color of people. We all bleed red and we all feel joy and pain. We all have the opportunity to rise to greatness or to fall into disgrace. Many of my favorite people in the world are black, and the rest are hispanic, asian, european, and other. While I’m at it, I also have favorite people who are Catholic, Jewish, gay, who’ve used drugs, and who’ve had abortions.
What is sad to me is that until this week, my children never heard too much about black and white. But here we go again. A new generation of Americans is being racially divided. It’s palpable. And for some sick reason, it’s on purpose. Even our mixed race president had to chime in and stir the pot.
I’m not saying that the Trayvon Martin case isn’t interesting or sad. There is just no reason for America to think that it was racially motivated – but that’s all we’ve been fed. It’s sick. Walter Williams wrote a compelling article which calls out the media bias and the “race hustlers,” which he is allowed to do without concern for being called a racist since he is black. As an aside, another refreshingly unracist lady is Anne Wortham. It is quite worth any American’s time to read her letter to the American people.
Whether or not you think that the Martin case was racially motivated or whether you think Florida laws that allow you defend yourself are unjust, what we all need to take away from this is how we allow the media to influence our thoughts in an extreme way. My solution is for America to boycott the TV media. There are plenty of news sources out there on the internet that simply report instead of distort.
Ebony and Ivory – under the bus with you!
All of the racial progress that has been made in our country since the days of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. can be thrown out the window by a few racially motivated remarks by regrettably ignorant leaders who lack the foresight and consciousness to keep moving us forward. The only victims of the “system” are vicitimized by our government. Welfare is the worst kind of oppression because of its benevolent appearance. Welfare is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. We usually have a hand in our own victimization. Don’t be a victim. Take charge of your life. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are a victim.
Why can’t everyone just be treated like a human? We are not the same, but we can be treated equally. What does race have to do with showing an I.D. when you vote? What does the race of any murder case have to do with anything? If there is a minority who feels down trodden, why don’t they rise up and show the world how meaningful they are? Anyone who contributes to society, works hard for a living, is kind to others, and raises their children with compassion will be welcome wherever they go. Why is there no race war going on between the Asians and the other Americans? They are minimally represented in our government, yet you never hear Asian preachers on TV telling Asian people that they are victims.
We’re not racist anymore
Don’t accept racism. You know deep inside that all humans are human. Skin color is the most ridiculous thing we could ever talk about. In America, the vast majority of us are beyond caring about race. Most of us are evolving. And in order for the rest of us to catch up, we’re going to have to get the government and the media out of our lives.
Turn off your TVs! Especially now that the new ones are going to be able to watch you back.
