While the United States government and its military go around the world maiming, torturing and murdering millions of brown people in their quest for imperialism, the entire country is consumed with one white guy who doesn’t like black people. The ridiculous nature of this idiocy and mainstream media frenzy over such a common behavior is mind boggling.
Any human with a brain that travels across this country would be very hard pressed to not find white on black or black on white hatred, or at least contempt due to skin color. The last time I thought about it, no one on this earth has any say as to what color they are because before they are actually born their fate is set. Therefore, we should all treat each other with respect unless given a good reason not to do so.
But that is not reality. Hatred consumes so many in this country as well as in some others. There is not one single area of the United States where name calling and hatred of one group or another is not prevalent, even in small towns in my state of Montana. I grew up in Arkansas in the 60s, so I have seen the real deal, but it seems to me that mutual respect was more common then than it is today. Why on earth is that the case?
Today we have a complicit government and media who revel in exposing and sensationalizing every single bit of what they refer to as “racism” so long as it involves someone or some entity of importance that can be sensationalized. If any news reporter were to walk into any pub across the country, or walk the streets of towns and cities, he would find all the derogatory language, the racist remarks, the outright hatred of one group or another everywhere. That won’t be reported however, because it will not gain enough press.
All these black stars in sports and in Hollywood speaking out about the Clippers’ owner, and those media hacks looking to stir up trouble, are simply using certain circumstances to blow out of proportion the so-called “racist” society they need to exist in order to make them look more holy than the rest of us. If they spent five minutes listening to inner city conversations or rap songs, they should be just as if not more offended, but that would not serve to enhance their false agenda.
The Clippers’ owner is a bad person, but so are many of those condemning him, Yes there are racists and bigots in this country. I even met a couple of those types this afternoon in small town Montana. This is true of both whites and blacks, as well as some others who cling to their accidental skin color as some sort of badge of honor. It is not, it is simply irrelevant.
The morality of the individual will not be changed by force. It will not suddenly become more loving and caring due to those out there screaming for tolerance. The majority of people living in the U.S. are good people who live their own lives without constantly worrying about what color their neighbor happens to be. But there are many who are just plain ignorant, both black and white, who choose to dwell on the uncontrollable moral behavior of others, and attempt through threats and force to change the core mentality of other humans. That is an impossible task, and the grandstanding by those those well known and famous does nothing but create a larger divide amongst the masses. Their efforts do nothing to solve the problem, but only to enhance it.
I was taught to have respect for every single person I met unless given a good reason not to do so. I was taught that lesson, the Golden Rule for those who have never been exposed to such sound logic, by my wonderful parents, not by listening to the self serving idiots in the mainstream press. Maybe if we all talked together and lived together without listening to government and media propaganda, that lesson would be more easily learned by people of all races and ethnicities.
So long as American people keep their heads in the proverbial sand and allow the government to continue to slaughter human beings around the world, why should any expect that the common mass of people here would understand morality and common decency, and condemn as a whole the divisiveness and hatred that is so commonplace today?
