A local person can say the word "ammo" on Facebook and get arrested, yet never mention a gun or produce one.
We as a Country, as a majority, firmly believe the N-Word should be eliminated. We believe it is RACIST to do so, again, as a majority. Yet the owner of the Basketball Team says the word "black" and he is labeled a racist.
We can pass laws in which the majority of people in America disagree with like Transgenders using the bathroom of their choice or even Gay Marriage, yet the N-Word still exists.
Isn't it time businesses like Facebook/YouTube forbid such language from ANY race? Isn't it time we actually have a President and other Leaders like Governor O'Malley finally put their foot down and shame those Americans of any race from using it?
You can't CURSE in School, yet you can use the N-Word. It's almost as if they want it to exist to divide people.
A President is the leader of the United States. Perhaps Obama should start acting like one. That goes for ANYONE who follows him.
I'll say this as well. For once in their life the African American leaders and communities need to decide, just what is it that they'd like to be called because in my honest opinion they are NOT African Americans. They are AMERICANS just like you and me.
Let's get an answer on that so as we all know what the PROPER language is so people like Sterling aren't labeled racists any more. You see, I am a WHITE person. So if a black person were to call me white, are they racist like Sterling was labeled?
Can I get an AMEN?
We should shame them for all of their uncivil actions - I had to call one out in the grocery store for cutting in line the other day...they got all indignant and entitled-self-righteous - until one of the managers walked up...they went to the line while making some snide remark about getting my ass up there....
ReplyDeleteYou're not going to be treated equally until you act equally...that kind of human respect is earned...you're setting a bad example for your peers!
10:47, I have come across PLENTY of white people doing the same in my lifetime. Abusing handicapped parking spaces, fire lanes, you name it.
ReplyDeleteYou even have a former fire chief locally well known for using the N-Word on a daily basis.
10:47, LEAD, for once in your life. SET EXAMPLES and don't sweat the small stuff.
It is NOT against the law to cut in line and it's also NOT against the law to say the N-Word, yet we have such STUPID laws out there that are so ridiculous it isn't funny.
Leaders need to start leading. citizens of all races need to firmly set examples. Only then will we become a better country and not PURPOSELY divided.
Awesome article Joe. You hit the nail on the head with this one.
ReplyDelete"the owner of the Basketball Team says the word "black" and he is labeled a racist"
ReplyDeleteSheesh people, when you have a valid point, you don't have to make up evidence to support it.
The truth is, these things have gotten worse since Obama was elected. I believe he has caused much racial tension because he is a racist. And we've got Harry Reid calling an American rancher a domestic terrorist, and the Muslim who murdered 13 solders at Ft. Hood as committing workplace violence. If you want leadership, vote these liberals out of office.

ReplyDeleteNo matter how much anyone tries, you can't legislate human nature, period.
