Although all of us are tired of the news about the Clippers owner derogatory remarks, I need to place my thoughts on the one-sidedness of those complaints; no matter the race, it is un-Godly wrong to be bigoted no matter, where they come from, or their race.
Most of us have probably shown a form of bigotry/prejudice at least once in our lives. Our prejudices were be against society rather than a particular race. Sadly, in my younger years I was more against society for greed, arrogance, selfishness, and rude bad behavior, rather than whatever race another was born in.
None of us has the right, (even though we enjoy freedom of speech), to harm another through words and abusive characterizations. This goes for all races, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and Caucasians. We must treat each other respectively, unless of course they are bigoted or abusive.
My advice is to stay away from such a person and not share your energy or time with such a hateful mean person. This is almost impossible for the young people to do, however.
Those in power, government, church affiliations, etc. often blame others for the problems in this nation. Congress wants to be sure that no one is harmed by hurtful words, and Reverend’s in the African Race want to blame the Caucasians for all insults towards the African race.
Why is it all right for African Americans to be overlooked for their hateful derogatory attitude to those who are different? For instance, the beating of an older white man, excuses for the African Americans who sell drugs, and last but not least, they blame everyone else for their misfortune.
Could it be because the young African Americans have no positive mentors to follow? Most in the African American communities make excuses for bad behavior and do not hold anyone responsible for the abuse they do on a daily basis? When so-called African American Reverends blame another race for the young people’s problems then how can we expect the young bullies in the African American race to do otherwise.
As a Caucasian woman in her senior years, I had to be polite, friendly, caring, and above all treat others with the same respect that they treated me. However, this type of upbringing is no longer possible. We seem to place ourselves first and behave anyway we wish and it is to be accepted.
