The head figure of the U.S. has now said one of the most vile words found in the U.S. Somehow it is supposed to be acceptable? I find this hard to believe. Racism and the words it entails should be frowned upon from anyone at anytime. Philosopher Lawrence Blum expressed this phenomenon best when he stated "racial discrimination is unacceptable, no matter who expresses it, but "white" discrimination against people of color is worse than white discrimination by people of color because of the historical ramifications of oppression. Recent media stories will lead you to believe that racism is the only thing that is going around hurting people, when in reality it is the fact that racism is not allowed to die. I have been stationed with all different people from any place in the US and also from different races and religions. When the shit hits the fan no matter the differences Americans pull together. We love one another. We care and will take care of our own. No racism, no hatred, just caring about your fellow man or woman. America needs to wake up and see each other. See the real person inside. We all bleed red, need the white sunlight, and bruise blue. We are the same.
