Then later far down in the article: ‘You’re the student body president, and you’re mocking and blatantly insulting a large group of the school’s male population,’ one student commented on the photo.
OK, she was not the president of the Black Student Body, but the entire student body.
So is she now white? Or Asian? Did she go the Michael Jackson route? Ir is this just another example of piss poor writing from a professional writer?
She complains about confederate flags. I lived in NJ, I never saw any confederate flags.
At one time, England ruled India with an iron boot. They belittled the people as "woggies", they took the riches, they beat the poor. Gandhi advised his people to be excellent...to be noble, to be peaceful, to be intelligent, to exceed, and to generally show the Brits that the inhabitants of India were NOT sub-humans, were not evil, that by their very virtue, they would make the hated rulers come to see that everyone has value, that everyone can be great. And the Brits changed, and left. That kind of racism was suffocated by virtue.
If we actually TAUGHT history in our schools; if some black pastors actually PREACHED the Gospel of Jesus Christ; if some "community organizers" (agitators) actually CARED about the people they represent, rather than the votes or the money they can get through them...we might see racism gone in America in a generation. Idiots like this woman keep it alive, because they make reasonable humans like me look at the face of race hatred and say "You? Respect is earned by action...why should I respect a hate-filled viper like you?"
Why in the world do so many black people insist on being the same kind of sad racists that many white people used to be? If people like this would just be American, not mining old hatreds, things would change much faster.
MLK Jr. said he "had a dream" of a world where people would be judged on the contents of their hearts, and not the color of their skin. We say that my daughters "have no black friends." We say this because, of course, she doesn't see color. She has friends...who are black, or asian, or you name it. And if haters like this woman would work to be excellent, to be smart and not mean, to be kind like MLK and Christ preached...everyone would be like my daughters. SHOW me your greatness, insprire me, impress me. Stop BEING the kind of person that I now sometimes, sadly, expect you to be.
Yes, MLK said everyone should judge people by the contents of their hearts. I do this every day. I judge this woman to have a wicked heart, a cruel heart, a hating heart. Of course, this judgement on her heart...instantly, magically, eternally, somehow transforms into the assumption that I am judging her skin. Yep, when I say "this is hateful behavior", she is supposed to get a pass, because...well...EVERYBODY knows what I REALLY mean. And by virtue of her exterior, she is free to act horribly. I tell you, just like the last two elections...the most racist thing you can do is excuse evil based on the color of someone's skin. Dear, grow up, drop the rock, live your own life. My people figured out that hate is an ingestive cancer some time ago. When are you going to?
And by the way, your President sat in a pew for 20 years in a church where the "pastor" preached race hatred...and smiled as the congregation was polluted by hate. He was married there, his daughter grew up there, he stayed because it gave him power and political influence.
If MY pastor said from the pulpit, "Black people are evil devils!" I would first stand and challenge him using the Scriptures, I would then urge the congregation to condemn him, and if they would not, I would leave and never look back. Your President sat there and did nothing, which tells me everything I need to know about him. And today, and every day, when I condemn him for the contents of his heart...you know it...I am called a racist, because that is the only card that people like you have left to play. Sorry, he is at best a bad Christian, at worst a closet Muslim, and you are as filled with error and hatred as he is.
