No child is born a racist. This viral video demonstrates how racism is taught at Trump rally.
“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” ~ Nelson Mandela
“It’s sad to see that half our nation finds nothing wrong with this, it’s scary that my children and grandchildren will have live through this when I’m gone. I’m a baby boomer and feel I somewhat dodged this bullet of racism, but make me wonder how many people I called my friends felt this way. I feel in the near future people like Trump will cause a race war and innocent lives will be lost over ignorance” ~ Anthony Mccarthy
“This literally breaks my heart into. People are going to have to choose which side they’re on. The side of hate, or the side of humanity. Trump is going to go down in the history books as the worst president we’ve ever had and his enablers and supporters will be right along beside him! Even if you stood silent about these atrocities that are slowly occurring.. remember that silence equals complicity!” ~ Georgia Smith
“I don’t need your dictionary definitions or your manufactured excuses for what is happening in America today. I’ve heard them all from Germany and in the 50s and 60s. I came here from Germany in the 1940’s after my grandfather had been executed as a Jewish sympathizer (turned in by his Christian church people). I was here for the Civil Rights marches, the assassination of King, the Green Book, Wallace & his ilk. This isn’t new and it isn’t hard to figure out. The Nazis and the KKK both say he speaks for them. They should know. That should be enough. The racism and nationalism I’ve seen in my lifetime have unleashed once more to the point that I am fearful of how close we are to falling into that dark hole again. This isn’t a partisan issue. This isn’t a faith issue. We are well beyond that now. This is a defining moment. In the next year we will have to decide officially who we are as a country and what we will offer our children in their future.” ~ Gloria May
This is a good time to remind the Hollywood classic song “You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught” from the SOUTH PACIFIC musical made in 1958. (Full Lyrics, and a video here) The mythical days when America was great, right?
You’ve got to be taught
Before it’s too late
Before you are six
Or seven
Or eight
To hate all the people
Your relatives hate
