Odd how Trump lies are a dilemma for you but not those of your own party....
This reminds me of a true story.
I asked my Black neighbor, at the time I was living in California, why Black people can say the word nnigger, use it in songs, comedy, etc, but a white person can't, because the word is told to be very offensive, with the power to ruin and destroy lives...
She told me this: There are Black people, and their are nniggers. Black people don't even want to live by them, either.
I will never forget this.
Whitey in his pursuit to not injure the Black man, inadvertently.....
lumps them all together, as one race, trumping their own individuality.
Whitey thinks its his attitude and HIS HELP, that these poor old RACE need, because they can't live life on its own UNJUST accord.
Which is the very thing our constitution addresses that each one of us has equal rights and pursuit to THEIR happiness, etc....
As I posted in my stampede post/anthology.
When the mindset/belief of one, starts a stampede on a false fear, it creates the very damage it was trying to avoid in the first place.
It weeds out the weak, ill, aged, animals in the herd, and maybe mother nature planned it that way, but in a civilized world, people don't get physically trampled, they get angry, not at the jerk who caused the stampede, no, but at what the FALSE FEAR was....
And if its at a said Trump, or whoever, they become responsible for the damage caused by another....
Crime is hate, period, sentencing is used to punish the degree involved in its execution.
Labeling it as hate is only trying to add fear to a political/social issue, and solves nothing, but to create a stampede of more fear, of others, etc.
