Ways Of The World

"Ways Of The World"

It is about the Jones' and wanting what everyone else has got.

I'm miserable about what humans do; that's why I don't eat meat, and expend a lot of time and energy doing things for animals and for the environment.
But no, it doesn't cause me to experience the same kind of rage as thinking about what whites have done to blacks and other minorities.
Except every once in awhile.... for instance, thinking about how people have domesticated animals and have this elaborate apparatus for breeding and slaughtering them in factory farms; how these animals exist for no other purpose than to be slaughtered, how they're bred specifically for that. Okay, when i think about that, and then how Christians will defend it by saying, "Well, it's in the Bible. God put people over all the other animals, to use as they saw fit."
Wow. That sort of makes me sick with anger. God- if there is one- never envisioned anything like this systematic, institutionalized mass slaughter.
When I think about how half the world is starving or malnourished, and how this could be resolved if we planted soy instead of grain for cattle in factory farms, while the western world has eaten itself sick and is obese and dying of too much food, too much red meat.

Well, yeah, then... sometimes it makes me want to kill someone or destroy something.
But I try not to think too much about it.

Well thank you for your honesty. I could have fun picking that to pieces. But I won't. I'll just continue to eat, period. Because starving myself is not going to end world hunger. Infact, we tried to help in that area, but then there were crazy wack jobs telling these countries we were poisoning them. :doh

As for the animal cruelty...I agree with you there. Some things we do are shameful. But I love animals. I am open about my tree hugger-ness. I just don't think it's smart to eliminate meat from your diet entirely. So I don't.

But as a person to be sickened by your colour rather than live differently and treat people the way you wished they had been treated in the past, you're not helping to change anything. Hating yourself for something someone else does is not productive.
But perhaps it is, because it does suggest you have issues that need to be dealt with.

No, that was Rev. Jeremiah Wright. The guy he said that he would no sooner abandon than his own grandma and then later abandoned. Sucks to be Obama's grandmother.

His grandmother is dead. So she's not suffering from being abandoned anymore. :roll:
 
the election itself proved that whites aren't racist (for the overwhelming majority anyways) so the speech should have been on a positive note acknowledging the fact that most white americans have absolutely nothing against having a black president..perhaps even saying thanks america for acting and voting like all colors are equal....
