[quote=flu]I am still waiting for an answer to a previous question from the Trump faction.
How would have banning all people that look middle eastern from being in the US, or racially profiling people that look middle eastern….could have prevented the murder of Christina Grimmie in Orlando on the same weekend, when the deranged gunman, Kevin James Loibl, was an American born citizen that happens to be (for the lack of better words to describe him) caucasian
????????
Let’s not really talk about things like better gun control or waiting periods… let’s just focus on the low hanging fruit of identifying who we perceive as bad simply by paint by color. Lol.
In the same way, well shit if some of us can’t get into college , let’s do the paint by color again and ban all the Asians who all obviously cheated their way into and admissions spot. While we are at it, let’s come up with a systematic way that makes it extremely difficult for them to get it, while not putting the same criteria for everyone else…..
And, yes it’s true…not every trump supporter probably has a axe to grind with all specific ethnicity/race/etc mentioned above. But it does seem that most trump supporter has at least one axe to grind with at least one race/ethnicity/etc. Some have problems with Latinos, some have problems with middle easterners, some have problems with Asians. And some have problems with any or all of the above. Its probably the one reason why there is any unification under the Trump umbrella. Hate.[/quote]
I kept waiting and waiting….wondering if you were actually going to hit the target. And you did. Head on.
Hate.
I don’t really remember much about Christina Grimmie, but I do watch the voice. At the time I may have noticed her, but she turned into one pretty young woman with a great voice, and I forgot her. Her death was notable in my home because both my wife and I watch the voice, and my wife is from Orlando. She knows the place where the young lady was killed. The victim of another hateful act.
And just a day later, another hateful act took 50 lives. Not like the attack in Tel Aviv a few days earlier. Not like Paris or Brussels or Istanbul. In fact, nothing like them. A hateful man, who hated gays attacked 300 people in a nightclub. And politicians were quick to blame it on muslims. That hasty decision, racist on it’s face, was dead wrong. It had nothing to do with Isis, nothing to do with Islam, radical or otherwise. It had only to do with hate. Hate that is approved of, vindicated, and sanctioned every day in this country.
While politicians mostly ignored the hate, and went on to find solutions to terrorism, solutions to gun control, pointing fingers at who was responsible and who predicted it would happen, they almost all ignored what happened. A gay nightclub with 300 people inside was attacked on latin night. For the sole reason that it was a gay night club. And the guy who did the attacking thought gays should be dead. His father taught him that. His religion taught him that. As Christian preachers over and over again have taught the exact same thing.
As more than 100 laws in the last 6 months have been proposed limiting, eliminating, and dismissing the rights of the LGBT community, that hate has been vindicated over and over again. There are way too many people in this country who approve of that hate. And every single one of them bears responsibility for Orlando.
And Trump pats himself on the back for being right, when he couldn’t have been more wrong, he’ll press ahead and ban Muslims. And then ban Mosques. And next is going to be the Mexicans because Muslims cross over the Mexican border. And pretty soon it will be the Chinese because of their currency manipulation or some other thing that he doesn’t really understand, but it sounds good enough to whip up hate. And then it will be every other Asian population, because how can you tell where they’re from, they use chop sticks. And eventually he’ll get around to the Jewish bankers. Because they always do.
All because it’s so much easier to blame an outside enemy than one on the inside.
