I Am Sick and Tired of Racist White Bashing

• https://www.lewrockwell.com By Gary D. Barnett

Is there anything so obnoxious as openly obvious hypocrisy? Do many of the people in this country have no clue as to what racism actually is? Looking around, watching others, and taking in the actual hate is not difficult in this purposely divided country, but the manner in which this subject is approached is atrocious. I am not speaking specifically about black or white, brown or yellow, red or blue, or what anyone's sexual preferences are, I am speaking about everyone, regardless of color. It seems that many want to concentrate on something that happened all over the world many generations ago here, and thousands of years around the world, and attempt to place themselves in a position in which they have never been in order to gain attention. I would liken this to the stupid idea of identifying' as anything one desires to be, instead of accepting who you really are.

For background, I grew up in the deep South in Arkansas in the 60s, so I know a bit about this subject. The difference is, my parents, especially my father, from the time I was old enough to know anything, talked to me about the value of humanity. I was taught that every person on earth, regardless of color, culture, or ethnicity,  should be treated the same, with respect and courtesy, unless they did something to cause not to deserve that initial respect. This lesson was not negotiable, and my father drilled into me that all were human, and to take offence against anyone based on anything other than bad behavior, was not to be tolerated. This was not meant as a threat due to taking cover, it was meant as a proper moral certainty, and one that should never be breached under any circumstance. I took this very seriously, and have all my life.
