H**e and r****m seem to go hand-in-hand. On one side you have some people thinking that somehow they have the upper hand, not because of anything they personally have done but based on a notion that they were born in an elite class of humans. They form groups of like-minded people; you have the KKK, and then you have the black panthers, you have skin heads, and then you have Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. I think you get the idea. On the other, you have a group of people who thinks that the whole of the US owes them everything for nothing simply because mistakes were made in the past. Many walk around with persecution complex, solid chip on their shoulders and they dare anyone to knock it off.
When this happens, we find ourselves in a quagmire, incapable of moving either forward or changing the present. When these opponents face off in separate corners of the ring, their supporters cheer their chosen side on as if God himself and all that is righteous depend on winning. They draw in supporters form off the streets, make grandiose speeches about dreams of a bygone time when everything was pure and good. Or they make their pronunciations about what the country will be when they finally have the upper hand, elect a black president and finally put whitie in their place.
On either side they rewrite history to reflect their view of the world. They go to great lengths to find and support scientist who will work with them to obtain the desired results. Then the propaganda machines go into action. The results are announced on the 6 oclock news, then again at 10. The next day you hear it yet again. With modern technology, they post their new information with the perfect search keys and then the side that is being supported immediately picks up the ball and forward the new findings to all their friends and even those they do not know as attachments to their emails, they tweet the good news and then they go on their favor forum to spread the word even further.
Now enter the God factor. Muslim call all non-Muslims infidels and declare Holey wars, k**l all the nonbelievers and do it fast, efficiently, and use any means possible. Christians join in with the notion that all non-Christians will burn forever in fires of hell because they have sinned. Jeers are directed at those nonbelievers, in the past the true believers of the God Jesus Christ went door to door to convert the heathens. Jews are burned, shot, gassed, and pushed away as though their beliefs are more sinful than Muslim. Jews shake their heads, pray for the Messiah to come to restore Gods people. They defend their scrap of desert with bombs, missiles, and rocks if they have nothing else. And the list goes on. Each believing that they are the only belief system of any merit.
The t***h, to quote the X-files is out there. When we the people wake up to the fact that we are puppets controlled by religion, the government, and the media we will have peace. In t***h, there are few raciest, there are few black kids running amuck and participating in mobs, there are very few holey people. It is these few that make the news, that inflame rage, r****m, and hatred. You are not right, you are not better based on skin tone. You are wrong, mistakes were made and no one owes you anything.
