Irrational...Emotional... Irresponsible... Impulsive.
" Lets do anything destructive to promote our cause".
Coming up again in the news... People are offended by monuments and any reference to anything confederate related to the civil war... thus related to slavery.
Okay... I get their point... "black lives matter"... yes... how about all lives matter.
"Stop discrimination of black people"... yes... how about stop all discrimination.
Getting to the point:
They claim that due to slavery, which was abolished 160 years ago, that they, today, are discriminated against, persecuted against, and that black lives matter... and whatever happens today, is a direct result of the slavery issue during the civil war.
Anything Confederate / Slavery offends them and therefore should be removed, destroyed, and vandalized to convey their message that black lives matter.
NOW... JUST THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT.
How irrational can they be? What happened 160 years ago has no rational bearing on them today... Other than an emotional irrational response that they say deeply offends them when they look at anything confederate... because they are offended by slavery. IT ENDED 160 YEARS AGO!
Do they want towns, cities, roads, schools, and anything else bearing the names related to the confederate civil war renamed to remove any remembrance of the slavery issue? ... because black lives matter?
Do they want any thing connected to the issue if slavery removed, so they are not constantly being reminded about slavery, and being offended? Remove all references to any thing or any one that was involved with slavery? Yes. They do!
So I guess anything related to honoring those connected to slavery should be removed... it offends them... and brings up emotional scars that affects them in their everyday life... making it impossible to have a happy life.
So what's next? Remove anything that references or honors those that owned slaves? Well... maybe that doesn't offend them that the countries founding fathers and first 12 of 14 presidents owned slaves. Great monuments, states, cities, towns, roads & highways, schools & colleges, and even our currency bears the remembrance
of people that owned slaves. Washington, Jefferson, and many others who's names appear every where... but this doesn't offend them? Or is this next on their list?
Irrational... emotional... irresponsible... and impulsive behavior... And yet the news media and elected politicians give creedance and support this type of behavior... why? Local governments allow demonstrations, by people outside the community, even from outside the state, to demonstrate knowing that there is the greatest potential for social unrest and violence to eruption.
Perhaps it's time to get a grip on reality... Today's reality... and exercise and promote your cause in a positive manner... not blaming events of 160-250 years ago as to being the cause of their problems today.
SO...WHERE WILL IT END?
