Where’s Everybody From?

Where’s Everybody From?

by MichelleMcHatton

Yesterday the SHITHOLE who calls himself “president” stated that four members of Congress known as “The Squad” should “go back” to the “totally broken and crime infested places from which they came”.  He was so cowardice in his statement that he couldn’t even call them by name.  Also, as is typical of SHITHOLE, he was idiotic to not realize that three of the four were born in the United States.  Therefore, even if he was referring to their home states, the “totally broken and crime infested places from which they came” would be located in—um—the United States.  The same country SHITHOLE is “president” of.

Nobody is no longer shocked by SHITHOLE’S racism.  The world knows he’s a bigot.  We don’t need to accept it, and for the majority of us, we don’t, nor do we turn a blind eye to it.  What he says about people of color, what he’s done to people of color, even members of his own Congress, is unacceptable and is certainly not “presidential”.  Then again, why would we expect anything “presidential” from someone who really isn’t a “president” but is merely a “shithole”?

Imagine if the Native Americans had told the Europeans to go back to their “totally broken and crime infested places from which they came” when they first arrived in America.  Think about that the next time you want to tell a person of a different color to “go back” to a place they have never been to.  Would you like it if a black person told you to go back to Ireland?  Or England?  Or Germany?  Or, even worse, Russia?  Unless you’re of Native American descent, every single person’s origin in this country lies somewhere other than in America.  You may have been born here but your story began in another country.

SHITHOLE is now harking on the old “love it or leave it” bit because that’s all he has.  SHITHOLE bitches about making America great again.  Well, if he doesn’t think America is already great, then maybe he should leave and go live in Russia.  He’d fit right in.  Knowing him, he probably thinks he’s already living there.

Do yourself a favor.  Don’t be a racist fuck like SHITHOLE.  It’s not good for your soul.

We Learn To Live When We Learn To Give

I don’t understand why people refuse to accept there’s good and bad in everyone.

Before anything else, we are all human beings.  We all breathe air, bleed blood, sleep, eat, defecate, procreate, we are all born and we all die.  And we all have the ability to be good people and bad people.

It doesn’t matter what sex you are, what your sexual orientation is, what your religious beliefs are, what your political beliefs are, your skin color, what country you’re from, etc.  Nobody. Is. Perfect.

Given this information, how can any person, and there are many, point at two other people, perfect strangers, a man and his mother from Mexico, and call them “rapists and animals”?  Yet this happened to Esteban Guzman and his mother while they were working. How can any one person target another person because of their religion?  Yet we have with the banning of Muslims from other countries.  How can any one person reject another person because they are seeking a better life for themselves?  Yet we have with the separation of families and the imprisonment of thousands of immigrant children across the country.

Who are the good and the bad in these circumstances?  Are they really who we perceive them to be?

For all these incidences, the tables could have easily been turned.  It could’ve been a fat white woman working in her yard with her son when a Mexican man approached her and began calling her names.  Just because she was a fat white woman.  We could have the banning of all other religions except Muslim.  And Americans could be the ones fleeing a war-torn country for a better life somewhere else, only to be separated at the border, of any country, and their children are put in cages to live like dogs.

It’s difficult to understand what someone is experiencing when you haven’t gone through it yourself.  Maybe if we think before calling someone out for being different from us, we could stop being so hateful of others for something they have no control over.  We could give of ourselves and start caring for our fellow human beings instead of acting like imbeciles.

Just because there’s a puppet master in Washington it doesn’t mean you have to be his puppet.
