Can We Think?

Have you ever stopped to think just WHY there is so much in the news and social media these days about black vs. white? Christian vs. Muslim? The common man vs. the govt? Have you begun yet to question WHY "they" are encouraging mob mentality? This separateness of me vs. you? None of these issues are new.


But... watch the news or the media more carefully... MOST of these people are clearly not educated, I don't give a damn what color or religion or whatever they are. And don't pull that "oh, they came from the inner city or a place with horrible schools or the lack of proper parents/role models". That's bull shit. Education is FREE. Each of us choose how we speak and the extent of our knowledge. A person doesn't have to attend school to become educated. A person doesn't have to live in the "right" place to know how to E-NUN-CI-ATE.

So, think about this... If you get the people, the masses angry enough, they stop thinking and begin parroting the popular headlines of the moment. Once they're angry enough and not thinking, they're easily manipulated. They can be lead around by the nose to a leader's purpose.

The civil rights issues that are glaringly apparent in the headlines have been happening for a LONG frigging time. Have you really LISTENED to many of those representing their race on the news? Really LISTENED? Regardless of the race, these people use barely comprehensible English to blurt out a sense of entitlement that NO ONE has a right to own.

The awful things done by religious fanatics do NOT represent the whole. If I hear a Muslim called a "towel head" one more time, I'm going to scream. Our country is filled with a variety of religions... has been for a long damn time. If you're going to get pissed at someone for religious beliefs, try the Westboro Church. Just saying.

Our govt officials have been the elite power hungry monster that it is for a long damn time (see the pattern here?). Why NOW are we throwing our "representatives" (and I use that term loosely) under the bus, then backing it up again? Yet, not the first person has offered a solution. Unless you're a privileged white male, someone fought for and possibly died for your right to vote, yet the voting percentage is at an all time low.

I believe that it's of the utmost importance that we turn off the news, calm down and THINK FOR OURSELVES... Then ask WHY is this happening? What is "the other hand" doing? Why are "they" trying to instill this mob mentality? Prestidigitation.

My point is that I'm tired of the angry mob. Don't start screaming against this group or that, blaming the whole for the one. THINK. Then come to the table with a solution. Not the first one of us is entitled to a thing that we've not worked towards.
