People will always differ in their views about things, things such as right and wrong, wholesome or unwholesome, and soooooo, on and on, but I was taught that was the Spirit of America, a society of individuals with the right to form their basic concept about life and why they are here (purpose).

To relinquish choice of these, means you don’t have a life, because if someone else determines these factors, they own you. So much for constructive criticisms in this area, because they really are not applicable in this case.

People today are getting away with literally, murder; the murder of a dream, of hopes and freedom, it’s just that simple, and no one seems to be watching or caring about that. Many people are getting what they do not deserve, and who knows the motivation of those committing these crimes? Yes, I feel it is a crime to murder a persons hopes and aspirations. I feel it is a crime to murder their families, and goals they have set for themselves, and sit back on their hunches, and say, well, what else did you expect? That’s a major problem.

I don’t take it personally. I know that there are other variables involved, but to some extent these “variables” are being used unjustly to forward racist attitudes, and the unfair treatment of individuals based on a set of normative factors that obviously does not apply them.

I confess, I am a late comer in all this. I just wish it had come at a later date. I was rudely interrupted pursuing a life long dream, my education. The current state of affairs has adversely affected my ability to continue, and now around every corner I am faced with adversity and opposition. I pinched myself, because I am the same person before the presidency, why am I being affected by it?

Undoubtedly, all this time there has been a problem with me, that I just didn’t recognize. I was sheltered by my belief system, that did not demand I open my eyes to certain truths about the world, and regretfully, what I found is that those issues meant more to them that claim immunity to such prejudices then they did to most people in society, including the Law.

Yes, its sad, and a story to be told at a later date, when in some peoples eyes, “things return to normal.” I beg to differ about that one. Personally, I don’t think that America will ever be the same again!

Peace! Everyone.

You always have to consider the context of the feedback you are getting. With that, it is never likely as positive or as negative as reality would suggest.
