Okay, I'm at it again so be aware.
As usual, people of color are in great danger because of preexisting conditions or the great possibility of these conditions exerting themselves. Blacks have to worry about diabetes, high blood pressure and a few other things. Hispanic...I'm not sure what diseases they may have BUT if they are migrant workers they are or have been exposed to deadly chemicals working in farm fields. Native Americans have poverty, no health care and no housing...on top of this are the hundreds of treaties that were made and never put into motion. All of these people have one thing in common, they have been betrayed over the centuries. Blacks came over here as slaves, not indentured people. Hispanics came here through an agreement with Mexico to work in the farm fields and some, especially in the Southwest, were here before the Europeans came. The Native Americans were the very first here and our government made treaties with them to get their valuable land (valuable money wise to us) and sacred land and literally ruin the land.
Why do I get riled about these things? I'm a mutt or a mongrel, I have many different European blood in my make up. My own personal belief is that everyone should be free, not taken advantage of, but free. Those of you who claim to be Christian and yet are very strongly racist...really? You believe in God and Jesus, I've read the Bible many times and I cannot see where you get the idea that either of the people you worship were racist. I am not condemning all Christians, the majority are deeply spiritual, however, as it happens in all groups there are you ijits! For the sake of the "real" Christians, clean up your act!
I warned you at the beginning that I was going to let it all out. I've done it, now go about your day, stay safe and healthy and think about how you treat others.
It's Been a While...
