Discrimination

This is one thing that bugs the snot out of me. Everytime something bad happens one group claims discrimination on basis of race. It is gotten to the point where its pushed in our face that government is biased against one race or another. I will give the example of if there is a shooting in which someone gets killed by a cop of the opposite race. This is automatically assumed by some extremist that the cop is wrong and they will protest and cause futher distruption and pollute the justice process if these cops are not convicted.
This is wrong.
I dont like someone telling me that I have to sit down and give them rights to this and that. I dont want you to push your ideology on me. I dont want to be indoctrinated to your lifestyle or your view of racial tolerance. I dont want our government spend millions to lawyers fees to some group that won a lawsuit because of percieved discrimination.
We took Christ out of Christmas. We take Christmas out of our school. We are forced to chage how things are. We can not have parties because of it making children obese.
It is unreal. It is unreal.
There are some airlines wanting to charge more for people who way more. This is not fair. Not everyone is a size 0. Kids are not active as much as they us ed to. Yet we can turn this around to our advantage because the waste cooking oil could be used to cut down dependance on oil.

What does Christmas have to do with racism?

one woman desperate and bewildered,
who felt she was drowning and another who
would leap into a scene, as upon a stage,
conceal her true emotions because they
were weaknesses, helplessness, despair,

It has to deal with Politically correctness. The same extremism of attackign religion goes to race. We got people attacking christmas and also attacking race. You look at difference in speech if a white says one thing then hes bad but if a black says it its cool.

What is WRONG is that cops can get off for shooting innocent civilians and when other people protest injustice they are dismissed as polluting the justice system. It's not extreme to be outraged at racism, or any kind of prejudice/discrimination. Christmas has NOTHING to do with school, so why is it a problem that it's "being taken out of school"? And who exactly is taking Christ out of Christmas? Retail stores?

We are forced to chage how things are.

Statements like this always bother me. The statement implies that the speaker is selfish because he or she would rather turn a blind eye to injustice rather than try to change it. Changing it would mean that he or she no longer receives preferential treatment.

If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed...nothing shall be impossible unto you. - Matthew 17:20

I know what you mean on that. I have seen how some people can treat others especially in a court of law. I have seen where for instance where there are corrupt cops out there. I know of one who used to only make a good arrest right at election time. The same guy also screwed up transport of evidence that was being sent to a larger city.
I come from the COps side of the bush. I also have seen some people with attitudes. I believe there are two sides of a coin. There are bad cops and there are bad suspects. I dont trust the extremist groups in that case. SOme of them are scum. If you want to change thigns how about make things true. Bill Cosby was right. The first programs to go are thigns that keep trouble away from teens.
