Source: “Make America White Again” campaign sign causing controversy in – WRCBtv.com | Chattanooga News, Weather & Sports
This campaign sign is posted in Polk County, TN which is near Chattanooga. Here is what I have to say about it.
Can someone tell me what century we live in again? There is so much to say about this. For one, America was not “white” to begin with. Two, this sign is a reminder of how selfish and ignorant people choose to be. Three, this man as well as others of his kind should repent for their sad, broken, pathetic hearts. Four, it’s a hard reminder that America will never be great as long as people like him are considered for leadership of this country. I should feel sorry for him but I don’t because he is on the wrong side of history. People like him are a relic of a horrible part of our history where people were lynched, spat upon, called names. The America he wants is one where “colored” people still sit in separate sections of restaurants, restrooms, buses and other public places. As long as racism, homophobia and discrimination are a part of the fabric of America there is little hope of greatness. Anyone who defends this man reveals their true character.
I said I would be positive this week but this is a story too important not to share.
There is a bill waiting to be signed by the governor in the state of Tennessee making The Bible the official state book. You would think I would be for this being a follower of Christ but I am not. This is just plain wrong. Using the Holy Texts of one faith tradition as a cheap way to get political points from ones base of supporters is prejudiced and is borderline theocratic. We live in a country made up of people from all faiths, creeds and culture. To elevate just one faith’s holy book is short sighted and does not speak to being good neighbors. The whole thing is about pandering and posturing and picking up political points with ones constituents. My country is founded in part on the notion of a separation of church and state.
