** The post that inspired the idea of a social blog **
For the last 11 years, I have lived in a community that is welcoming and divisive. 10 years ago, I moved into the realm of hospitality at night and I was exposed to the darker side of people’s essence. I have been adamant and will remain steadfast in my lack of tolerance from those demanding servitude or subjugation. You know who you are, and this is not about you. For now is the time to counter deceitfulness and lies with facts that promote equal humanity.
This election has been the catalyst to talk about our country of hate. Donald J. Trump is morally repugnant and lacks the respect of the populous. It is time to ask why your neighbors, friends, colleagues, and adversaries voted for Trump; for he is a leader that exploits prejudice and ignorance.
Why did you do this?
- Why are we tiptoeing around historical references to Nazism? History has given us both the context and warnings.
- Why do we mask with the benign term “Alt-right”, when “White-supremacist” is more accurate?
- Why is America behind many other countries in its representation of women in politics?
- Why do we blame men for misogyny, when women are an offender as well?
- Why is there ignorance to accept climate change as a scientific fact? It is not an opinion.
- Why our current political gridlock occurred under a Republican Congress’s refusal to work with President Obama? Was it racism?
- Why do we not see the actions of others as racist? Superficial politeness has given a platform to fester cultivated hate.
- Finally, why did legions believe that an elitist would lead them to salvation and financial freedom? That answer is simple. It is the nature of a demagogue to exploit the ignorant.
With that said, we will continue to uphold equal humanity for it is in OUR nature.
