The Uvalde (West Texas) elementary school should not have happened , 21 people including 19 children and 2 teachers were murdered in cold blood by a young gunman yesterday, their death are incomprehensible, they should not have lost their lives. Little kids, massacred, few days after another massacre, after another, after another, and the response from half of American politicians; Nothing.
America is not defined by the worst of its citizens, of course not, but it must not pretend that they are not part of its rooted fabrics. And they are shaping the image of America and what it is, in some awful, terrible way, they and the weapons they use, are for sure a solid part of the American culture, and it's not to say that Americans have to accept it. Americans need to push, fight and speak out, and do everything they can to move the country in a better direction.
Americans love and cherish their freedom, their constitutional rights, even now when it is harder every day to do so, with mass killings occurring on daily bases around the country, and most are vulgar and cheep, driven by mostly white young people, whose hearts and minds are fully polluted and poisoned by racist ideologies, by practically legitimizing the killing of not fully perceived as equal or legitimate white original citizens, so Blacks, Latinos, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Asians and or any other ethnic minority in America.
The next major test in choosing these ugly patterns and directives will be in November's rapidly approaching mid-term elections, and opening the way for the next presidential elections in 2024. When everything the country stands for , and the fundamental rights of millions of Americans will be on the ballots.
The teenager who murdered 19 elementary young students and their 2 teachers in Texas few days ago, the one who murdered several black people in Buffalo, the guy who drove 9 hrs. to kill Latinos in El Paso, the man who gunned down Jews at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, the one who shot and killed 9 people at a bible study in South Carolina, and many, many more, they all share the same convictions of "Great Replacement" and it is their duty to kill indiscriminately all non fully belonging real white Americans.
American history include a long and bloody trail of that kind of violence, since its conception. But, and to be honest, these acts of brutality and racism, are not the whole story, American history is also a story of people of all walks of life, coming together, melting in the great pot of what the country is really all about, totally countering the idea that this country belongs to any particular group more than any other other sharing its common goals.
No one is more American, or more patriotic and loyal to America on account of their skin color or their religion or their ethnic original background. No one should be discriminated against for where they were born or who they love, or who they believe in or don't believe in. America is living at a time when so many unprincipled people are set to divide the country for power, profit, or blind ideological and religious demagogy.
These are specifically the days when Americans need each other the most, to face existential future dilemmas, whether political, economical or existential climatic on world levels. Those are the days to be grateful that there are so many Americans who have made firm commitments to making a difference, to recommit to the idea of the true American way, they're committed to save the country.
As always, my many thanks for your time, stay safe and well.
