Before I begin, I just want to put a disclaimer out there that I am not racist, and I do not hate patriotism.
People are so obnoxious, especially when it comes to pride of its own country. I get it. You think the United States of America is the best country in the world. Just stop, it is annoying. I see all over television with sports, life insurance commercials, etc. Love for one's country is one thing, being arrogant about one's country is another.
I know that racism is wrong, but I do not understand why certain people get so riled up when someone calls another person a derogatory term. For example, people can laugh at other people telling Asians that they speak like "Ching Chong," and they can laugh at other people telling Caucasians "cracker," but once you insult an African American, all of hell break loose. Why is it so? Also, when people speak of those terms, why do they bring up, "my ancestors went through slavery." It is not like Asians bring up the bombing of Nagaski and Hiroshima or the Cambodian genocide when they get insulted. Or even with Caucasians talking about the persecutions of being in a certain religion, i.e. Protestant persecution by Queen Mary. I digress. Usually, immature people take it to heart, not all people. I apologize if I generalized too much. Many people are not like this, thank you. My last question for you is why a white man killing a black man gets more criticism than a black man killing a white man? Or is it just me?
With love,
Violet Sar Bleu
