Open your eyes

This country is so beyond screwed up.  We people as a whole can't even see what's really important...we're blinded by the media sensations...

So many things that are from our past have been twisted by the people of today. Swastika for one, it was originally a symbol of "good furtune" and "well being" turned into a symbol of death and hate by the Natzi's.

The confederate Battle Flag, it was just a battle flag, and now people see it as a symbol of racism and hate.  Here's something I found on Snopes, a place people go to debunk information or to prove it's validity.

"The Confederate Battle Flag today finds itself in the center of much controversy and hoopla going on in several states. The cry to take this flag down is unjustified. It is very important to keep in mind that the Confederate Battle Flag was simply just that. A battle flag. It was never even a National flag, so how could it have flown over a slave nation or represented slavery or racism? This myth is continued by lack of education and ignorance. Those that vilify the Confederate Battle Flag are very confused about history and have jumped upon a bandwagon with loose wheels."

While a lot of people have suffered injustices throughout the ages, today's children and most adults have not experiences anything like it. I could go on ana don about how all people of German decent were crual monsters that put my ansectors into interment camps, starved and killed them. How the Polish, Jewish, anyone not of the Arian race where exterminated in the madness of Hitler's genocidal madness.

Or I could go on and on about how all the other races in this world killed, enslaved, raped and stole from the Native Americans. How they were forced to live on sections of land "granted" to them by the United States, by the very people that stole the lands from them to begin with.

Black, white, Asian, Hindi, or what ever color, race, of ethnicity is...GET THE FUCK OVER YOURSELF! The shit that's going on in this world has NOTHING to do with race, it has to do with ignorant people doing stupid shit and not wanting to take responsibility for their own actions.

You know the realy important things that have happened in this country lately? I'll give you a hint...it has nothing to do with the Confederate Battle Flag, it has nothing to do with the Supreme Court's ruling that same sex marriage is legal in all 50 states, it's not racism... It's the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement that Obama passed. It's the ongoing battle against ISIS and terrorists here in the US, it's the drought, wildfires, disease...it's our country and we let the things that create an emotional response distract us from what we should really be looking at, really be concerned about.
