Angry Black Woman, people are at least halfway at, if not at, the point where they think that it is just find to attack Muslims. I do not agree with every stance they had either, and 9/11 was a little cold, but lets be real, the ring leaders criticizing them have similar misogynistic views, believe in harsh double standards and do heinous things on the level that they love to call Muslims on; and this country has done 9/11 type attacks on Middle Eastern soil in addition to economically exploiting it(which means some of their grievances are shared by the most of the world.) That’s why when people carry on about oil, I’m like okay, they are displaying a little moodiness, but where was our concern for them when we were ripping them off left and right!

I feel so sick and angry about this, too.
And I understand if you don’t feel patriotic.
I’m on your side.
And I’m white.

How is it possible, that this isn’t being talked about, let alone reported?

I don’t care if the victims were green with pink polka dots… this should have been front page news!

Attacking any sort of church is so heinous. Attacking children is just as bad. To do both?

Thank you ABW for writing about this!

hran,

I don’t know about the “majority of white America” but any person of any color who suppresses evidence or declines to pursue justice in cases such as these aren’t “good enough” for me at all. Are they good enough for you?

I think there are many reasons to not be patriotic. I have and will probably never be patriotic because there is SO much wrong with this country. This country was founded on corruption and continues the same, exact way since it was founded; nothing at all has changed. We, as citizens, have been told that this country has changed over time and we are often told that it is for the better, but we are no better and are no better off when it comes to the amount of corruption in this country, than we were when it was founded hundreds of years ago. The “rights” we have now were never really ours, are hardly exercised and are used merely as brainwashing, fear mongering talking points to put the radicals in their place.

So I agree with you, there is no reason to be patriotic and it isn’t because I’m some radical person, it is because America has failed me several times; America has failed all of us–Just not all of us see it and thankfully, you are one that does.

Its also hard for me to feel patriotic because of this country’s past and present. It really pisses me off. Would I like the races to be separate? No! Hell No! We’re all apart of the HUMAN RACE. Why can’t people just get that?

[...] any rate, given, as ABW points out, it took 25 years to convict men of bombing a black church, I don’t think we can [...]
