I
recently came across an article online by Michael Cantrell about liberals and their
desire to create a new tax (http://www.allenbwest.com/michaelcantrell/liberals-want-institute-insane-new-tax-white-people).
After
reading what he had to say I found myself wondering at the audacity of liberals
to think that such an idea could possibly help race relations.
How
is signaling one group of people out based on something that is genetic and
taxing them for it going to IMPROVE race relations?
Think
about that for a moment.
IF your government decided your skin color meant you could afford to pay more in taxes, how are you going to feel about it? What
is it going to do to these people who are living on
welfare? In section 8 housing? Subsisting on WIC and SNAP benefits and just
barely getting by?
Don’t
tell me people fair skinned people aren’t poor. I’ve spent most of my life on
welfare and living in subsidized housing. The home I live in now I got through
Habitat for Humanity and is in a neighborhood that was historically a restricted
poor black neighborhood.
Our
finances might be better now but we still have months were the month last
longer than our money does.
A
tax like this is going to hurt my pocketbook.
And
it’s not going to help the people with more pigmentation either.
I sincerely doubt the government would actually put this tax money
to use in helping underprivileged people (clearly not since so many of them
lack pigmentation).
The goal of the liberals is to erase racism, but you can't do that by being a racist.
Taxing people based on the amount of pigmentation they have is as bad as selling them as slaves based on the same criteria.
Just
STOP judging people based on their genetics at all.
I
think Michael Cantrell said it very well. I quote from his previously mentioned
article:
“It’s
time we acknowledge that yes, racism does exist, and yes, it’s a real problem,
for EVERYONE. We should be committed to overcoming this obstacle to our unity.
Doing so requires all people to begin focusing on the content of a person’s
character rather than their outward appearance.
Punishing
someone for their skin color is a step back, not a step forward, something that
should be clear to anyone who uses the word “progress” to sum up their
political philosophy.”
I’ve
already posted a few times about racism and how we need to be a united country,
not a divided one (my posts dated 5-20-15, 7-29-15, and 6-29-16). It’s time we
as a nation started to work together and stop judging people by the amount of
pigmentation they happen to have.
I’m
going to end with my normal close because I hope it will help to make a better
world.
Smile.
Make the day a brighter day.
