This is a sad statement by you. One with breathtaking generalizations and stereotyping. It's the exact kind of bigotry we're trying to defeat in the world. I grew up in Columbia, Maryland. Look it up when you have a bit.
It was the most racially diverse, liberal, equal place in America back in those times. It still is according to my friends who still live there. I was a minority in so many places and I learned how to live with, love, embrace and understand all the differences we have. I also learned how people from the south are treated very unfairly much of the time. I moved there from South Carolina and once they realized I was southern, they assumed me a confederate based on what they were taught in school and the black kids proceeded to beat the crap out of me every day after school. They'd hold me against a tree and take turns punching me. This went on for months. It was over a year before anyone would really be friends with me because I was ostracized due to my southern heritage. Nothing is perfect but I did learn a lot about how people can get along when we drop all the racial pretensions and just see each other as people.
You've chosen to make everything racial and given what you feed your brain, I can understand that. But at some point you're going to need to decide to stop this. If you view every thing through race then you're going to see that in everything. I am so sorry that's the case for you. It's a rotten way to live. Everything you write just stinks of disdain for those with whom you disagree. Perhaps it's because of the way you grew up. I talk to people all the time who use hypocrisy of others to justify a lot of their extreme views. Here's a clue for you; we are all hypocrites! Every last one of us and we all have prejudicial predispositions whether we want to admit it or not. It's called being human. That's where the rule of law comes in. The rule of law in a free society provides protection from those worst inclinations. We have stopped respecting the rule of law in this country. We have decided we know better based on emotion and that is what's provided the fuel for the enormous challenges we have no. It's also a big part of why we have such a chasm in our society which is growing day by day.
You seem to be filled with hate my friend. I will most assuredly be praying that you can be freed from this. The way you talk about things the only person you're poisoning is yourself. You also talk a lot about "we" as if you're some representative of a political party. You're most likely just a person with a view and that's enough. I don't speak for anyone but myself here. If what you gained from traveling the world is how bad we are here in the South then you didn't do much traveling.
This is the best place on Earth to live. Hence the reason more people try to come here than anywhere else in the world. It's long been a great nation but we are in trouble now. By the way, I loved your line about talking policy. The Democrats have not talked true policy for a long time. It's all SJW stuff in a world where economics seem to not exist. It would be glorious if we could all get back to policy discussions again. And lastly, you're right about the attack dog. I fought like hell against both of those candidates for that reason. But I will also say when you have every force aligned against you and there's no voice of reason, people will ultimately turn to something extreme and that's what happened. If we keep engaging in this madness, it will happen again. And God save us all if folks on the left keep pushing. They haven't done the math in certain areas and that's one thing I have never understood.
