As I try to
watch the news I am totally turned off by the Bias I feel in each report. I am supposed to be swayed by the love and
honor being bestowed on a known criminal.
Yes the Cop was stupid, yes the Cop should be punished and such a thing
should never happen again. The thing
that gets me is the outright stupidity in a movement that would make a hero out
of a Bum just to create chaos in the streets.
Let's face reality, if George Floyd would still be alive, he would still
be a drug addict, he would still be an abuser and a constant law breaker. Any truly educated and enlightened person
would know this. It's okay to feel sorry
for his family yet if he was taught as a child as most people are to respect
Law and Order and had learned to obey the rules most of us live by he would
still be alive. To Martyr such a person
is saying to your children, look up to this man, he's a hero, be just like
him. What is the matter with true Black
Hero's and there are plenty of them, look through history and pick a dozen to
emulate rather that demean your cause with a loser. We are all born with the right to choose our
path in life, you can be a follower and constant victim or you can be a leader
who earns the respect of all those around you no matter their color or creed.
Your right, I am a 2nd generation White American and I have no idea what some
of your Grand Parents and Great Grand Parents have been through. I do know that my Grand Parents indentured
themselves to become Americans. They
worked hard with nothing in their pockets but the dirt of the land, they fought
the language barrier and the discrimination that came with it and eventually
went on to raise 9 children without welfare or any type of assistance. 10 years they toiled in Wisconsin for their
sponsor in a one room cabin with very little opportunity to earn any extra
until his debt was paid. He then packed
up his wife and 3 children and came west to Seattle taking a wild chance that
he would be accepted for his ability as a Master Carpenter, a trade he learned
from his Father as a child in Sweden.
You may call
me a racist or a Xenophobe or whatever the latest trend in name calling is but
you know in your heart I'm right. I have
never felt white privilege has given me a boost, I have always been grateful though
that I was born in America and that I was a part of the greatest Country the
World has ever known. Being from a
melting pot like Seattle I was raised alongside just about every race existing. I was always taught to respect who people
were not what they were. I have worked
for a Jew, a Chinese, and the hardest task master of all of them was my own
Father who taught my Brothers and I by example.
He always said never make a person do things that you wouldn't do. Expect the same effort from yourself as you
do from those who may be under you.
America will always be the greatest Country as long as the people stay
united and understand the true meaning of the American way.
