O’siyo all,
HATE, a word we see used much much more than it should, for the wrong reasons in the wrong context. When should it be used? if ever…in my opinion its more of an action that a word.
“God i hate this show”, “i hate this dress”, ” i hate waiting” “i hate you”……..just a fraction of some.
The nazi’s “Hate” was no more than what the Spanish did to the south Americans or the genocide in Rwanada or against GLBTG and many more. And i use that every time i hear the word used. I teach my children everyday not to use this. It to me is the worst four letter word.
I think, even as an aboriginal person, the making of hate crime laws here in Canada was a terrible idea that could have been done. Now you have given each separate group their own law, dividing us further, why?..isn’t an attack on a black/yellow/red/white man that’s racially motivated a crime against us all? A crime against our society and peace? no matter the skin color, religion, culture. we are all supposed to be equal , that’s what we are “led” to believe. People now pull their “Race card” for just about anything. We have created a monster that will bring our society to its knee’s and here’s an example , I wonder if its illegal in Canada to deny the Holocaust of its first nations people? or the churches sexual assault of children? many deliberately infected with diseases to go back to there clans to wipe them out? or the Rwandan genocide, i bet you there’s no crime against it..but if you deny what happened in Europe,(and we all know what happened), off to jail we go! we don’t want the hypocrisy, we want equality.
One man said to me that the world couldn’t believe white people were killing white people in the camps , i said to him it wasn’t just Jews, there were so many other races, disabled, mentally ill, black africann’s the french used in combat, black americans, first nations and so many more, the world was in those camps and in Japanese camps too. We have learned nothing and its only getting worse, we will see “race” wars erupt here in north America. I do find it disturbing that when people arrive in countries they have waited years to come too, they always join huge protests on how we are so evil and that we should be destroyed, especially in England..yet they scream for us to help them in there struggle….now isn’t that hate? It takes unity to defeat Hate, stand together as human beings, no color, no faith, just courage, i know i have done it very recently.
We must learn how to trust each other and to be trustworthy,
Wandering Crow.
