How Far We Have Fallen

[timothyu]

Got another one of those emails today that compared the 50's to now and how paranoid and thin skinned we have become. It would seem the problem lies in the fact that positions of power are limited. The whiners with poor self esteem, whom we all have witnessed as kids, grew up and lashed out, moving into those positions of power and prestige to overcome their inadequacies, and being leaders now, brought the rest of the society down to their level. Inmates always end up running the asylums simply because, being minorities themselves, they can simply overtake minority leadership positions, not needing the masses that offend them for approval.

Besides that.. if they are serious about making things better... why not go back and do things in the way they were done when they still worked. We haven't fixed anything broken over the decades, but broke what didn't need fixing. Gone from a society built upon personal responsibilities, to one of personal rights. But it won't last. History always repeats itself. As a mater of fact, we have become so complacent that one good power failure would shock people back into the reality of how incompetent and inadept that we have become.

"For there is nothing covered that will not revealed, nor hidden that will not be known," was spoken by Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Why do I point this bit of scripture out? I point it out because in the 50's , everything was hidden. There was a perception of righteousness , but undeneath was so much corruption, so much abuse, so much inequality and so many lies. What you're seeing today is this dirty laundry right in front of you, exposed. God's perfect plan, unveiling deception and evil. What really matters is, do we now just complain or do we fight the good fight and work the harvest like He told us to.
My two cents.

Be blessed.

Agree with the unveiling but that unveiling was always accessible to those who sought truth, even as far back as the second century when twists were made. Those seekers were simply eliminated as the world reclaimed its authourity over that of truth. Also, unveiling have been cyclic all through history have they not?

But today regardless of what is being unveiled, it is the minorities who have found a way to rule the majority, and they don't care how far in a handbasket we have travelled because for them it is all about self.

Minorities? When you say 'minorities who have found a way to rule the majority,' you are using a classic talking point of white supremacist ideology. That specific rhetoric is designed to create grievance and fear among white people by falsely painting marginalized groups as the secret source of society's problems. It’s a racist narrative, and it completely ignores the reality of where political and economic power actually lies.

No. It's not about minorities or marginalized the media and certain individuals like to play on for their own purposes. That would be off topic. But if anything, majorities are ticked at having the cultures and civilizations they have built, eroded by those looking to latch on, but not help in the building up of what others are responsible for creating. They admittedly come from lesser cultures, ideologies and civilizations or they wouldn't be coming looking for greener pastures, pastures created by majorities you say are racist. Traditional minorities have always been so throughout history for a reason. It does not refer to races. Marginalized groups are no one's problem unless they try to commandeer rather than build. I suppose God will also be called racist or given flack one day for claiming tares are the source of society's problems. Remember, tares try to take over, not build, and tares ruin it for fellow minorities or marginalized groups.

BTW, both sides have the right to free speech, to march, protest or whatever. What neither side has the right to do is silence each other or try to destroy. Water eventually seeks its own level.

I guess now I know why history books are being rewritten and eliminated. I'm not sure where you get your information but it is obvious that the information you have provided is woefully fallacious.
It is absolutely undeniable that marginalized groups which have historically included Black, Brown, and Asian people, are the true backbone of the this country. From the foundation laid by enslaved labor in the fields to the grit and sacrifice on the railroad tracks and in every industry since, their relentless work, their resilience, and their sheer determination are woven into the very fabric of this country's greatness. We owe the strength and prosperity of this nation to their enduring blood, sweat, and tears.
You should be ashamed of yourself for not acknowledging this truth. I do hope you awaken from this kind of thinking and appreciate the marginalized people in your community.
