My View of America by John F.; |
My View of America by John F.;
An important note to readers of this I few thing to bear in mind as you read it
is I have a learning disorder caused by lack of correct education at a private
school for the disabled so please bear with grammar errors and poor sentence
structure. Also, I know some of you that may read this may get upset at my
opinions but that what they are my opinions. I'm not a god, or an important
figure in the world scene just a human filled with faults like anyone else. So,
read this to understand why I'm writing it. I write it to share my concerns of
what I see going on in this nation! I do hope you read this and it makes a
difference in our nation's life for the better.
I choose to write this letter because I'm tired of seeing every thing being
blamed on the white man in America. Yes there is racism in America but it
swings both ways you show me a black person that calls someone a racist I'll
show you that they are also a racist. You can't say someone is a racist and say
you're not one yourself. If you think someone hates you there is at least a
spark in you that doesn't like him or her back. You might able to hind it, and
even control your response to it but it is there; you know it and they know it
and believe me I know it. Just for that reason I'm writing this. Myself I was
raised by a mother that believe there shouldn't be any differences in the way
we treat other no matter what a person skin color looks like. When I was young
I just thought a black person was like me just with a darker tan than I. In my
opinion I still believe that. Our organs are in the same place, we bleed the
same, we love, we hate, we cry, so why is it we have to split hairs on color?
WE Shouldn't!! I don't blame my parents for me being scared of blacks I blame
the media and the radical black leaders of the nation. You ask why? Well as I
said I was raised to think that there were no differences between the races
what changed that was growing up watching Television and movies. The influences
of the media showing blacks raping and killing whites, gangs shooting people,
mugging other and the black leaders of today blaming every thing on white
people. Hey I was a kid I never did anything to a black person. So why were
they blaming my family and me? I think they have to revisit history to the best
leader of our nation there ever was or ever will be Martin Luther King Jr.!!
Malcolm X was an interesting influence in our history. I think Malcolm X ideas
should be more elevated to a national plan but I come back to that later in
this letter. Martin Luther King Jr. tried to get us together to become as one
nation. The only way to reduce hatred is to reduce it ourselves first I guess
the best way to say it is respect the ones that hate you and teach respect for
others; not tolerance (tolerance is hatred concealed). Let's all face facts
hatred can never be totally eliminated. We will have the KKK, Neo-Nazi's, Skin
Heads, the Gangs too many to list that will fuel the hatred for a long time and
you can't get rid of them they will form no matter how many laws are passed.
I'd include the black panthers in the above but I can't they had good ideas
just the government and some radicals inside there own group that helped
destroy the movement, in my opinion they should reform and start over. The only
why to stop gangs from forming is to stop people from getting together and
grouping we can't do that. We can't stop all Hate there are always going to be
people that hate something for some unknown reason a fact of human life! We can
help reduce racism and hatred by trying to teach respect for each other no
matter the color, size, shape, sex, age, ability, or sexual desires.
I know we do have a problem with police in America they may say they don't
profile blacks as being most likely causing troubles but we know they do. We
can't just blame them for that it's more a fact of income more then of race. In
the major cities and the south the blacks are the poorest and the crime rate
among them is higher; then there are the gangs carrying guns so of course the
cops are more scared and abusive towards them. The cops need to protect their
lives and the lives of others. I live in the north and I see the cops being
more abusive towards the poor whites then anyone else. It's a profile of income
the poorer the person looks the most likely they are causing the troubles. I
need to add this note I have meet cops that treat people equally contemptible
and I have meet a lot more that treat people with respect. I guess what I'm
saying is don't throw away all the cops because of the few bad ones, we do need
them. As a matter of fact I believe if more people went up to cops and thanked
them for doing their jobs it would help to improve the way cops react to
people. I mean its back to the beginning of this letter. When cops get hatred
towards him/her self every day they are going to be giving it back to us; some
cops may control it more than others but it is there. So, if we can show them
more kindness and understanding and listen to them it should help them react
better to others!
Back to the issue, sorry I got side tracked but there are so many factors
involved in racism so it's so easy to get side tracked. I know that blacks
where slaves over a hundred years ago but should we keep blaming someone for
their ancestors faults? To continue to blame whites for the slavery we would
also have to but the children of criminals in jail for their parent's crimes
and than that's child's child and so on. So, how long do we blame a family line
for the crime? We can't forgive our ancestors for enslaving the blacks (another
note here we shouldn't forget that other blacks sold enemy tribes to whites. So
again it is not all the whites fault) but to blame us for our ancestors crimes
is the same as going up to a murder's son and calling him a murder which is
just wrong. We do need to learn from the past but to blames us for the past is
wrong if we don't learn from the past that is what's wrong! One thing else we
have seemed to have forgotten is that at some points in history a lot of races
have been slaves I'm not a historian so I can't name them all but the most
remembered are the Jews, the Christians, and then the Blacks. Also, along time
ago whenever a conqueror conquered a town or city of the enemies they'd enslave
the enemy. So at some point in history almost every race has enslaved someone
else or been enslaved. So to put it as nice as I can put it let's stop crying
over spilled milk and try our hardest to make sure it doesn't happen again.
So, the only thing I want you to do and I'm asking for the sake of all in this
nation. Teach ALL children to respect everyone. Teach them to like all people.
Unless we do that the hatred will continue forever and no matter how many laws
you pass you won't be able to reduce hate because that will increase it, but
teach respect and you will reduce it!
Now for another thing I am really getting ***** at men. Men you are
really pissing me off not all men but it seems like a lot of them. What, you
ask? Well violence towards women is what's really pissing me off. Not all men
do it but, there are so many that are that's its makes me ashamed to call
myself a man. A real man should never think he owns a women not even after they
have had intimate relations or even after they marry a woman her body is hers
NOT YOURS you jerk! Please remember this part is for the asses, you know who
you are. Men that think they have the right to hit, rape, abuse, and etc… you
are dead wrong. Men that do that kind of stuff need to have their jewels
removed, in my opinion. In my opinion women should be worshipped they are the
mothers and daughters of the Earth and without them we have no love or joy in
the world. Men that aren't already doing so should start respecting all women.
There might be a few women that might not like what I say next but I think all
men should do it. Men we should start opening the doors again for women, tip
our hats in respect, treat all women as goddess, and defend women against wrong
doers, and NEVER NEVER pressure a woman to do anything she is not ready or
willing to do. Now for the worst of the human men are you men that rape, date
rape and those of you that use knock-out drugs, basically you men that don't
have enough balls to find or keep a women the right way. You guys are disturbed
and need to have your balls removed as soon as possible!!!!! I blame the way a
lot of men are treating women on media and on some part on the way their
parents raised them and their peers that help convince them it is cool to do
it. A lot of fathers teach their sons to disrespect women not always in words
but by the way they act. Fathers were brought up this way for ages and it HAS
to change NOW!! I know from my experience some of my problems with women are
from the way I was brought up by my father. My father and some of my uncles
thought that women were only good for a few things sex, cleaning, and cooking.
My father was a good man but that was the way he was brought up but luckily my
father wasn't an abusive man I never saw or heard of him ever abusing a woman.
Luckily even though my father raised me to think women were for sex, cleaning,
and cooking; my mother did most of my raising. My mother seemed to be a harsh
woman while I was I a child she taught me many things that have stuck. I have
had a few troubles growing up because of the two differences in the way I was
brought up but thankfully I have learned a lot more from my mother. Mainly
respect of others. Now the main group I blame for the men's abusive attitude is
back to the media. I remember growing up and so many movies and TV shows that
would tell us that "when a woman says no she is really saying yes", or it was
ok to take advantage of a woman if she was passed out. Also they showed us that
it was ok pressure her to do things she didn't want to do and if she didn't she
was a tease or even called her a baby or a lesbian for not doing it. I even
remember a few shows that show a man force sex on a woman basically raping her
after a while she would start to enjoy it, come on those shows were the worst
but how they made them it was tough love. Sick!! NO MEANS NO!!! Men we need to
fight this shameful trend. You guys might say that they don't have shows like
that any more but we do they are just more subtle about it but its there plus
now we have videos and shows that are promoting girls to being free about sex
or acting sluty is cool. I think that if more guys thought of women as
goddesses, queens, and/or princesses and start treating them as such we would
all be better off. Now men if you need something to hit take up boxing or get a
bunch bag. Do you to have rough controlling sex get a rubber woman and leave
the real women alone you sick freak!
Now I have something to say to you women. This sexual harassment junk is
getting a bit out of hand. Now granted there are lots of jerks out there that
do it just to do it, but whistling at beautiful girls come on. A man should
never touch a woman in a sexual way without her consent or call her names. A
pat on that back or arm in praise should not be grounds for sexual harassment
unless the patting becomes petting. Also innocent hugs should be given some
leeway I do think a man should ask first but there are times when a hug should
be allowed. Now women you say what you are wearing should not affect how men
act, well deal with it, IT DOES! I mean come on a lot of you spend long times
to put that make-up on find that perfect outfit that makes things look better
or to show them off and think it shouldn't effect the men, COME ON get real.
You act like the men should have blinders on and if that's true then why bother
dressing-up? You, know men have been raised by their fathers and the media to
lust after women and you put on short dress like Aly McBeal and like men aren't
going to stare or make comments about it you are messed up in the head. Most
not all but all most all men think with one thing below their belly button and
above their knees. I don't think women need to dress like they live in the
Middle East nations like Iran. I think you women have to understand if you
dress sexy men are going to look at you with some sort of desire. So learn to
live with it and if you can't well, I don't have answer for you because I'm not
a know it all; even if this letter makes me out to be one. I am just a human
man with lots of concerns
Now earlier in this letter I said I talk about Malcolm X plan. I think Malcolm
X's ideas of fixing our own is a better idea for our whole nation as a whole. I
think we need to worry about fixing problems of the United States first and
then once we have fixed our nations faults we can look at helping other
nations. I don't mean not helping other nations that suffer a natural disaster.
I mean stop giving other nations funds to fund their nations economy to waste
on their nation if they want our nation money then they should apply to become
a state in the United States of America. If we help another nation again in a
war we of the U.S.A. are to be repaid for the use of our equipment and some
type of valve has to be added for any U.S. soldier lost/disabled in action.
This repayment should be split between the nation we helped and the nation we
fought.
As for the Media: I truly believe Ben Franklin must be turning is his grave.
When Ben started a free-press ages ago I truly believe he never would think it
would go as far as it has gone. Music that advocates violence against women,
towards races, police, and etc.., video games that show/teach that killing is
cool and fun. TV shows showing people dying one week and coming back to life
months later or sex with anything that moves is desirable. News saying that
every cop is a killer and is only out to kill black people. The media also
teaches us that women have to dress trashy to get notice. I believe one of the
reasons that there seems to be an increase in child molestation is the fashion
media using models under 16 and dressing them up to look like they are over 18
I mean come a child has no business dressing like and worse then Aly McBeal!
The media is promoting it and act so innocent when it happens. I truly believe
that when the fore fathers designed the 1st amendment they wanted us to be able
to report what was going on, what's wrong, the facts, and opinions, but not
made-up junk or stuff to make your more popular then someone else! I think the
media need to get a life.
Lawyers are needed and there are some damn fine lawyers out there but they
shouldn't be making precedence and these loopholes are getting out of hand. It
is getting so it protects the guilty and to hell with the innocent. Come on you
jerks Lawyers you know how you are how can you live on Earth knowing you are
helping murders and rapist? We should get rid of the double jeopardy if the
state gets new evidence that could have made a difference then they should be
allowed to re-try them. Hell the guilty have a right to appeal so should the
state!!! Another thing, evidence that is found to be real evidence should be
use NO matter how it was found not to break the fourth amendment. Having
evidence throw away on a loophole is messed-up and stupid. This crazy defense
is also crazy, if someone kills someone else they have to have something loose
up-stairs so no getting off for being temporarily or full-blown crazy is bull.
Now if it was self-defense or an accident (not caused from OUI or foolish
things like playing throw the knife at one another) then they should be let
off. Violent murders should be put to death why keep them around wasting space,
time, and money just get rid of them. Also lawyers lets cut out these stupid
law suits like (someone using a skate board to jump off a house and getting
hurt as he fell and then suing the owner for not having a safe landing area the
dumb kid should have never jumped off the house. Then you don't just sue the
homeowner but then you sue the manufacture of the skate board claiming either
they didn't make the skate board good enough to protect the skate boarder or
for not putting a warning stating jumping off buildings will cause you to get
fucked-up. Come one Lawyers Get real! Let the stupid suffer for their own
stupidity...
My views on politicians: Politicians should never be allowed to accept gifts
from lobbyist or special interest groups they are working for the people not
the lobbyist/groups. Any politicians that are found doing so should lose their
position. Also make them publish how they are going to vote and did vote on
issues, and publish it in their (representing) local newspaper and now that we
have it on the web so the people they represent know what they are doing as
they are doing it and not after they have voted when its too late. We voted for
them to represent us but they are being influenced by the lobbyist and special
interest groups we need to know what's being voted on and have a voice to let
our representatives know what we want them to do.
Our arm forces need to earn their keep they are ever ready to work so lets let
them work here not in another country except in times of justified war. The
United States declared war on drugs awhile-ago great now let use our forces.
The police are getting over worked and out gunned. Lets use the Navy to stop
water-based threats and smuggling over water. We can use the Air Force to find
air-based drug smugglers. The Army and Marines can do a great job to back-up
the police against gangs. Come on the gangs are using machine guns and
armor-piercing bullets the police carry a 9mm hand gun and if they run into
trouble they have to run to the back of their car to get the big guns while the
gangs shoot at them, let's get real. I think the gangs would think twice if
they had to go up against a bunch of guys in full body armor and carrying M16
assault rifles versus a cop with a bullet proof vest on and a 9mm hand gun and
a short range shotgun. Let's make the gangs fear the cops not the cops fear the
gangs!!! Get the arm forces to help and use their skills.
Now for my last rant it's about taxes. This may get the most responses but I
think we need to change the whole system. My simplified views of how we should
tax people 0% income tax on income under $30,000; 5% on $30,001-50,000; 15% on
50,001-80,000; 30% on 80,001-1,000,000; and 40% 1,000,000 - 5,000,000; and 50%
on anything over 5,000,000. The only tax breaks are for having kids under 18,
school bills (books, fees, etc..), and nothing else no tax break for cash on
offshore accounts nothing I mean come on the Forbes, Rockwell's, Gates, and etc
don't need tax breaks they have money to burn! They in my opinion they are
wasting the money and fleecing America by apply for so many tax breaks. Yes
many of them give money to charities but come on that it is drops of water out
of the pool of money that they are hoarding. I believe if we change the way we
tax and the way we spend it we could take care of Americans health care and
education. I think college and health care should be free to all Americans.
So in summary teach the children to respect others to reduce hatred in America.
Fix America's problems first and help other when we can. Stop the rich from
fleecing Americans. Educate all Americans and make sure they can get any health
care that they need. Now that I have said what I had to say I hope Americans
can come together to change some of the problems in America. I know this letter
won't be the greatest works of America but was written to air my concerns. I
hope I didn't anger anyone but knowing life I have and to those I have I'm
sorry. So, with that all said I end this long rant. Thanks for reading!
Respectfully a fellow American;
John F.
