A HISTORY OF HATE ........

Let's face it , in America many whites don't really like black people , and it's not the person himself or herself , but blacks in general , all shades of black .  Albeit  not all whites , but a good percentage share uncomfortable feelings and harbor some ill sentiments and susceptibilities to say the least .


Even whites who sincerely believe , that they are above traditional stigmatization of blacks in general , a black colleague at work , or a black neighboring  family and their kids befriending ours . There's always the little hidden feeling of discomfort , or sensitivity upon learning of a new moving and settling of a black family in one's neighborhood , and how might it influence real-estate prices .


Whites in all their aspects and variations , as in white blue eyed Anglo-Saxons , or less white Latinos , even white yellowish Asians , total off white  Indians , white Protestants , Catholics and most certainly white Jews or newly settling Arab immigrants , all harbor the same hidden sentiments and a certain lack of sympathy towards black individuals and communities .


The U.S  has of course , leaped some great deal toward maturity and civility , in its various societies , mostly in urban areas ,  where law enforcement were the major deterrent  and imposer of peace and some harmony  between the different communities .


All until we hear and see some barbaric terrorist action , albeit mostly carried out by disturbed individuals , that only reminds us all , of the still very alive and existing back ground hatred , and intolerance exercised in many communities and families in different areas of the nation , rich and poor , affluent or not .


Admittedly , and for fairness sake , a nation the size of the U.S and its populations , should not be judged nor rated by some isolated , crazy and barbaric incidents , but !!!.  Finally I should add , that our eternal obstinacy  with mad notions of  owning , displaying and using fire arms , the ease of it all , is still a major reason for most if not all crazy criminal acts , and surely not a sign of maturity or civility in American society within the modern world .


Morality , maturity and mellowness is not necessarily  the natural province of the highborn , or the professional intellectuals , or the rich , nor is it achieved by accident or luck , or by the passive passing of time , but by working constantly on ourselves , our families , neighborhoods , our backyards .


 At this point in time it is no big good to perform good deeds and say loudly good words , only to win favor with the gods , religions , or the admiration of others , but to work hard toward achieving a real and lasting inner harmony , goodness , and acceptance of all others , thus attaining a real civilized personal and societal status . As what matters most for our future , and our sons and daughters future , is what sort of persons we are becoming , and what sort of life we want to achieve .


When violence undermines civility and harmony , the limits of self denial are exposed . My usual many thanks for your time .
