Really People...haven't we grown past this?
It is hard for me to understand why we have so much hatred in this country. America has always been a place to live your dream, to become the person you want to be, but I never thought it also meant being a Racist, or someone with hatred in their lives.
While the sad letter written to the Copes of Long Island is protected under free speech as it did not threaten the family, it is still a sad state of affairs.
Across the country, there is continued fear of people loosing their jobs to foreigners, wither here in the USA or abroad in third world countries. I understand that, but, that does not give way to hate towards them. They are only trying to survive like we are. If there is any anger to be created from this, is towards our politicians who would rather be paid off by wealthy companies, yes, that 1% of the population that still controls our lives. And since, we as Americans continue to do nothing about it, we then should be angry at ourselves, not at people of different races, nationalities, etc.
Until Americans begin to actually stand up against corporate greed, then stop blaming others, blame yourself for allowing it! People are people, we all have our faults, our strong points, our humanity. Everyone should be treated equally, and if we as Americans can not show this in every day life, how can we expect the Government, or the 1% to show it. After all, they are feeding on the fact that we don't treat each other fairly and with respect and use that fear to continue to control us and make their billions.
Yes, I know, this has been said over and over again. Sadly, until things change, it will continue to be said over and over and over....
