And, isn't it really fear and sadness that are right under the hate?
"There is nothing to fear but fear itself" because fear makes us do bat-$h!t crazy things!
Do we really want to make America great again by going backwards in time? Let's go forward! With love. With love! Love our neighbors as ourselves. We have to - if we really are a Christian country, right?
Puritans and Separatists came and killed off the Native population and persecuted Baptists! It was all about $$$$ - the Mayflower was a stock company.
We then found a way to get free labor! Slavery.
We ended slavery but instituted discrimination laws (even north of the Mason-Dixon) to keep more of the jobs and $$$$
Fear keeps people in line, so we had lynchings -- after church on the courthouse lawn with spectators and mementos: body parts.
Then everyone hated the Irish: "Irish need not apply." What?!? Now, we love them and everyone brags about being Irish!
And, we definitely hated those Jews. We turned away a ship load of Holocaust refugees and sent them back - to the camps. Those rats couldn't attend college or join the country club and they still became successful! Now, we love all things, "Judeo-Christian." But, I ask, where were the Christians when the Judeo part of that formula couldn't join the country club?
We had a spell of hating Catholics and it was a big deal when we elected a Catholic president!
Everyone already here in the USA then joined up and hated Italians.
Now, it is Muslims, Latinos, Syrians....
When are we going to learn! No one is taking anything away from us - unless you want to pick strawberries for less than minimum wage and live in an un-insulated shack and...
Love thy sisters and brothers as thyself, I say - or, don't call yourself a Christian.
Love,
Vivian
