I’m guessing you weren’t around in the sixties, when this fight was fought and won. And I’m guessing you don’t remember what it was like before that fight. I don’t want to go back there. You are welcome to your time-travel fantasies. It wouldn’t be as you think it would, or maybe you are now in a group that was never discriminated against and you think you would like it just fine.

I grew up in the 60's. In my old neighborhood, in the 60's a kid could ride his bike all over in complete safety. When I revisited in the 80's, it was really ugly.

I'm currently in a group that is heavily discriminated against: straight, white Christians. I'm real tired of it, too. I once was idealistic. Now I care about my own family and friends first, second-place goes to people who share my culture and can be assumed to be of good will. People who hate me and mine, I do not care about their welfare at all.

I think you just threw your medals over the wall. As a fellow Christian, I feel obligated to suggest that you think again. Don’t let Obama’s divisiveness claim you as a victim. He can redefine the word “brother” according to current slang but that doesn’t mean we have to do it.

Alle Menschen werden Brüder.
