Issue 10: The Economy is Not the Problem

Racial Profiling or Racism in our Country is alive and well.
So what is the solution?

Our President is African-American in the literal sence. But the problem is a subtle poision that is killing our viewpionts individually. Some in our country (USA) and I reiterate some saw voting for President Obama as penance for past wrong doings. And some good folks pull a Daniel and try to stand in the gap for there relatives and others that they personally know to be racist.

This is good in principle. But the solution is not just educating those who want to show emphathy in the positive sence. I believe it is about acting on compassionate feelings that we all have as human beings. We all have commonalities and those who are righteous humans will seek after those common likes and dislikes.

We who seek to be diplomatic but often fall short must keep trying. We must not let the hatemongers win. Non-violent resistance is the backbone of a movement gone by in a time before I was born. But movement must be reawakened by each new generation. Whether it be x y or z whatever the label put on us we must contribute however we can.

I have a anger problem I get angry at hate but don't know what to do with my anger at times. So I vent. Writing is theraputic for me I regress but anyway I'm going somewhere with this. This country is got issues alot of us are angry and its not about the money trickle.

Its a self problem. A hopelessness that is sweeping the small town inner cities and the big towns not just in this country but in the world. When people lose hope they throw fits. Just like a child who has no power over the adults who care for them. So who is doing the caring? We must learn to care for each other in all our differences, and find our common ground. If we don't we will be looking at a new world chaos that will show up as war.

Wars and rumors of wars, riots and more riots passive words hold back anarcy. Maybe if we use more violent words and vent on paper a little, just a little. Violence wont show up on the streets. I'm no fan of real violence that kills and scars people.

Soulish wounds don't heal as fast as flesh ones. So lets hope that we can all get along.
