This, That, and The Other Thing

I talk.  A lot.  Just ask my husband, my siblings, my good friends and family.  They will attest that I am way more than verbose.  It's true.  I talk a lot and I know it.  I love words.  I love wordplay.  I love how the daydreams, facts, and otherwise useless crap rolls off one's tongue.  Sometimes just for fun, sometimes with purpose, and sometimes, sometimes I'm not quite sure.
Now there are the rare few folks who think I'm quiet.  Sometimes I am.  At least until I get to know you. 
There is so much to say in this world, by each of us.  There is also much for us to hear, to listen to, if we just would.  But we don't.  We don't stop.  We don't pause.  We don't listen. 
We all keep talking and talking and shouting and yelling and espousing and insisting and telling and....you get the picture (I hope).
Look at our society in the United States today, heck, look at the global society of mankind.  What a mess we've all made.  Everyone portends to know better than everyone within shouting distance.  Add in social media and we can tell the world how very right we are on every single topic available for discussion.  Perish the fool who argues with us, debates us, and could prove us wrong.  We are supreme in our own little minds, all humans are much smaller minded that we will ever admit.  Just look at the social media platform Facebook:  countless times in the past month alone I have witnessed epithets declaring that if you do not conform to the poster's ideals and beliefs, you will be (gasp) UNFRIENDED, perhaps even BLOCKED.  wow.  just wow.  
What happened to 'plays well with others'?  Remember that line on our old-fashioned report cards from school days years ago?  None of us are playing well with others.  None of us.  And this needs to stop.
Get a grip, folks.  We've had a global pandemic that at first sounded like the virus was part of the common cold family, but turned out to be 'slippery' (that means it mutates frequently so that it can find new ways to spread its contagion).  The death rate with COVID-19 is low, but if one contracts it in its most severe form, the death is slow and miserable.  There are those who insist it is a hoax.  There are those who are ready to panic because we all may catch this bug and die.  Neither one of those is a good scenario.  There are now those who scoff at any medically related advice like wearing masks, stating that masks do no good, requiring masks is an infringement of constitutional rights, that masks do more harm than good to the wearer.  There are those who are sure that once the United States 2020 Presidential election has come and gone, the virus will no longer be a threat (see hoax above). 
Indeed 2020 is an odd year to say the least.  Some declare that we are nearing the Rapture as prophesied in the Holy Bible, based on these plagues to mankind.  Some places on the planet are dealing locusts or other bugs.  Wild fires suddenly appear.  Last year (2019) Australia suffered terribly with wild fires.  Oh wait, 2020 is supposed to be the odd year if you listen to most folks right now.  Riots and associated looting have sprung up globally following the alleged murder of a man named George Floyd in Minneapolis.  Yes, I said alleged.  I know what the video shows and what my belief is (that George Floyd died of wrongful death during an arrest), BUT, I know that in this country part of our constitutional rights/legal system declares that we each have the right to a fair trial, meaning that those who report on any deaths are to use the term 'alleged' if foul play is suspected and that the accused criminal has the right to be heard in a court of law - and that the prosecution has the burden to prove guilt, not the other way around (that the accused must prove innocence).  I know what the video shows and I feel strongly that the police in Minneapolis used excessive force, BUT there is more to the story.
Mr Floyd had a checkered past (as do many of us in different ways), but he was not on trial for his misbehavior in his past when the incident that took his life occurred.  He was being pursued a suspect of an immediate crime at the time.  So many things could have happened differently that day.  He could have not passed a suspected counterfeit monetary note.  He could have not run when it was clear he was being pursued.  The police could have cuffed him when they took him down, shackling him in the police vehicle.  The policeman in question could have eased up on the pressure on Mr Floyd's neck area.  So many things could have happened differently.  But they did not.  We cannot change what happened that day as much as many of us would love to see a different, less violent ending.  We have to accept that that ugly day happened. 
Mr Floyd died and many people chose to make his death into that of a martyr.  Grief is a personal event, sometimes spilling to our neighbors, our communities, and, in the case of Mr Floyd, to our country, to our planet.  Protests over his death began.  Protests over improper tactics used by bad policemen.  Not all policemen are bad, but protests against all policemen arose.  And then, the rioting.  Violent riots.  And looting.  None of which will bring Mr Floyd back for anyone who knew him personally.  Businesses destroyed.  Vehicles destroyed.  Homes and lives destroyed.  Far more than just Mr Floyd's life and the life of that police officer's family has been destroyed and it doesn't appear to be slowing down. 
Now, there are people raising the issues again of Black Lives Matter (which, as a white person, I'm not offended that Black lives matter, but so do the lives of all people of all colors and shades, from albino white to the darkest dark tone, to olive hues, and crimson skin).  Historical monuments are being defaced and destroyed.  As if tearing down symbols of the history of all of us (history that is bad and good, good and bad) will bring Mr Floyd back.  Erasing history and symbols of historic moments will not restore Mr Floyd's life any more than it will bring back my late dad who passed away over 22 years ago.  Death doesn't work that way.  When you're dead, you're dead.  At least physically.  But I'm not here to write about the afterlife at the moment; that's an entirely separate blog entry for another day.
Our society is sending mixed signals to itself and from one individual to another.  If one takes note of society in general, people tend not to like mixed signals from a date, a romantic partner, significant other, spouse, employer, employee, friend, and so on.  Yet here we are.  As a country, a people, a nation of varying shades of skin sending mixed signals all over the globe.  Many of our states remain shut down due to the pandemic, so much so that funerals remain private with guests not permitted to attend.  Yet, Mr Floyd had several funeral/memorial services, very publicly attended.  We are supposed to social distance, not visit loved ones in long-term care facilities / hospitals, funerals, but no one is stopping multiple public funeral services of a man who was under pursuit and died at the hands of the police who halted his escape.  No one is stopping the rioters and looters.  Sections of cities are being overtaken by various groups espousing Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and other pet causes.  White supremacists are being blamed.  White people are being blamed.  If you aren't one of them, then you're to blame. 
All of a sudden we're all to blame for what happened 100+ years ago.  Acts of slavery that were perpetrated by some of our ancestors, not all, are not being placed on the shoulders of people who would not harm a fly on the windowsill, let alone another human being. 
Yes, slavery was and is horrible.  That human beings can treat their fellow men and women with such ugly disregard is nauseating at best, and that is pushing it.  Slavery didn't just happen in the United States after we formed our own country.  It was happening here and in other countries around the globe.  Each society may have used different terminology, methods, and races, but slavery itself has been around basically as long as humans have.  We like having others do for us, rather than us doing for them.  We like to feel superior. 
It doesn't matter whether your from Asia, Africa, Europe, America, or anywhere in between, we all like to feel important.  Sadly, horribly for some, the method by which we feel important often comes at the expense of other humans. 
Remember when your report card showed if you 'played well with others'?  Well, apparently a lot more people in recent years did not play well with others, or they were taught that it just doesn't matter.  And I'm not talking about people of any specific skin tone who are protesting or rioting.   I'm talking about all of us.  Apparently, in learning to express our individuality (as encouraged in many self-help books), our individuality and rights must supersede the individuality and rights of everyone around us.   That's not how it was intended, I believe, but it has surely morphed and here we are. 
Shouting.  Yelling.  Demanding.  Insisting.  Looting.  Destroying. Unfriending.
We all need to spend time in some timeouts, or with our nose in the corner until we can be nice.  Or, sitting on chairs facing each other til we calm down and can speak nicely to each other again. 
I've seen dear friends berating and unfriending each other because they disagree over the wisdom and safety of face masks during a pandemic.  Heck some even call names, basically saying another is chicken if they wear one, or stupid if they don't.  We have received immense amounts of medical data, smothered in public opinion over the past few months, to the point, can any fact-checker actually find the facts?  I dare say if I provide you a study on the efficacy of a mask, I will immediately find another equally valid study fully substantiating the danger of wearing a mask.  Add to this, those who surmise it is all a government plot, a Democratic Party plot, a deep-state plot, a plot by some unknown evil entity to take away all our civil liberties, and you have one fine mess.  There are those who blame the United States President Donald Trump.  There are those who blame all the Democratic Party state governors and mayors.  There are those who blame a huge mistake in a laboratory in Wuhan, China.  There are those who blame a bat in a meat market in Wuhan, China.  There are those declare it's racist to call it the Wuhan Virus even though that's from where it originated. 
I fear that pretty soon, we won't be 'permitted' to call the sky the sky, the ocean the ocean, the earth the earth.   Hopefully, I can still call myself: I, me, my, mine, myself, and all other appropriate grammar references to the first person.  Oh guess what?  I can do that.  AND you can still be you, you, yours, yourself, and so on.  Because, guess what?  Those are genuine parts of the English language as we have been taught for decades in our schools!  Sadly, there are those at universities today who seemed to have completely missed the memo when it comes to gender usage in the parts of speech.  They should study a few foreign languages; they would soon learn that the common declensions are 1st person "I" with "we" for the plural,  2nd person "you", third person "he, she, it" with "they" for the plural.  Once a person learns a fair amount of good grammar, the other spoken disasters we're reading and listening to, via social media and many biased news agencies, can be diagrammed into complete sentences, run-ons, incomplete thoughts, split infinitives, incorrect subject-verb usage, poor singular vs plural pronoun examples.  From there, it is easier to spot the flaws in logic, the misleading stories, the facts vs the fantasy. 
How I wish that all school students, prior to matriculation, were required to pass courses in argumentation & debate, along with the philosophy of logic.  I was blessed to fit them into my university studies as side course, not required of my major.  There are 10 main fallacies to be found in flawed logic, ranging from the infamous red herring to the circular argument.  (Go ahead, this is your chance to learn something new:  Google search for fallacies and then keep reading, several articles, not just one.)  Our media today has sadly traveled beyond solid journalistic reporting and fallen into frequent use of fallacies to build up platforms for pet projects of the various writers and their 'bosses/employers.'  Our schools of higher education, especially those based on the liberal arts, actively promote the fallacy of political correctness, teaching that there are only certain words that are acceptable.  This begins the slide into censorship, thought control, population manipulation.  It was delightful when institutions promoted free thought and decision making, when they taught that we could assess situations on our own and make qualified decisions based on our prior experiences and education.  More and more frequently our young people are being taught that self worth means, e.g., that everyone must get a trophy, that everyone must come out on top, that there are no losers (who wants to be a loser), that if we do lose the fault belongs to anyone but ourselves. 
And so, we have a global pandemic that started in another country than mine, but at this point, it makes no difference.  The virus is here.  No amount of masks or vaccines or treatments will kill it off.  Polio still exists, no one killed it off.  The powers-that-be just have it under control.  Same with the COVID-19 corona Wuhan virus, what ever you call it.  It exists.  We cannot pretend that it doesn't.  People have died from it, some have shown barely any symptoms. 
We have experienced an unnecessary death of an alleged criminal by horribly inappropriate actions of a police officer.  We cannot change that and pretend it didn't happen.  Mr Floyd died. 
The truth in the midst of all this chaos is simple:  we are all human, imperfect and finite.  We will all die, our physical bodies will have life terminate at some unscheduled moment, but there is no stopping death.  It happens.
How we respond to the facts of death and life and existing with one another is something over which we have dominion.  We make the choices to fall into those who are called sheep or those who are free-thinkers.  If you look at many social media debates today, most of them are two-sided and both sides consider themselves to be the free-thinkers and their opposition to be the sheep.  It's practically laughable.  Each group is falling politely into the places the chess-masters would have them stand. 
Division in this country isn't caused by the President.  Division isn't caused by a dead man.  Division isn't caused by the actual act of rioting.  Division is caused by each one of us, every single day.  We make the choice to share good or bad.  We make the choice to threaten or de-escalate.  We make the choice to tell tall tales or the truth.  We make the choice to spread rumors or lift up our neighbors.  We make choices that do harm or good to ourselves and our fellow humans.  How we make those choices is up to us.
Yelling at your best friends over the good or bad of face masks creates a division.  Educate, but do not belittle. 
My late mum, and my late dad, always said you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.  But, at the end of the day, you may have to swat the darn fly anyway. 
Before you swat, try the honey.  You may actually like some of the flies you catch.  You might find those you thought were flies next door, or in the big city, or in another country, are actually gorgeous butterflies.  Get to know them. 
You and I cannot change our death or the death of Mr Floyd, or the deaths of the elderly in long-term care homes from any virus.  BUT, we can enforce that our laws, designed to be fair for the victim and the accused are followed and enforced.  We can expect that our country's foundation in the Constitution and Bill of Rights will be upheld for the betterment of all citizens (illegal arrivals is a topic for another day) and visitors.  We can tell our representatives in government that we will accept no less than upholding the laws of the land.  We can protect one another's property and life, but we do not need to be in argument with everyone to do so.  We can be the respect all humans' rights, learn to 'play well with others', and not to further the sorry display of discord we've been witnessing over the past few months.
We each have a power to excel and be superior in that we can teach, lead, set examples, without harming the dignity of our friends and perfect strangers.  We owe it ourselves and to each other.  Let our country be the example of its name:  The UNITED States of America, not the divided states.  Physical life is finite.  Let's not waste it in temporary arguments and brain-washing.  Let us value the lives of every human and work together to find resolution, peace, and wellness.

Am I a Racist?  Are you?

7/18/2019

0 Comments

 
Drinking my morning coffee earlier today, I surfed social media, specifically Facebook.  A friend had posted again since last night (we had debated amidst some of his friends things like our President, the junior women in Congress, things they've all said, etc.).  Showing no self-restraint, I dove into this morning's post and stated my views.  Quickly more of my friend's friends (whom I've never met) began their rebuttals to my statements.....It's been pointed out that I am a racist, that I am not a Christian, that I am close-minded, that I am spoon-fed on Fox News (little do they know, I rarely glance at Fox), that I do not care about brown-skinned children in detention centers needing water, and so on.  You get the idea.
It amazes me, that people who do not know me, decide they know every facet of my being simply by my having made a few comments.  I thought about pointing out that it was like the pot calling the kettle black, but not sure they would have grasped that old analogy, but that makes me judgemental of their intellect and recall, doesn't it?
When, oh when, will our society members, our citizens grasp that until we stop being offended by every word someone else utters, until we just hand over a glass of water, until we volunteer for our local organizations, until we stop passing judgement and expecting others to do our bidding, we aren't going to accomplish squat for humanity, let alone the planet?
I would hope my family and friends know me better than these strangers think they do.  To read their comments, they must know every detail about every human who disagrees with them.  I have a cousin of Mexican descent, I consider her family my family too.  I have a grandson-in-law who is 1/4 Mexican, 1/4 Black, 1/4 American Indian, and 1/4 Irish; he and our granddaughter (who some would lamely label Caucasian, ignoring her mix of various European ethnicities) have a beautiful family, that started out with a couple of his from a prior relationship and theirs together, and now they are all one beautiful family.  Couldn't love them more.  And, you know what, I don't think about all our varying skin tones until someone on the internet points out to me that I am a racist. 
I can tell you, with certainty, that I am put-off when a 'white' person acts like a cracker, a redneck (yep, sometimes I'm a red neck), a honky, a wop, a dumb dutchman; when a black person acts like a nigger, when a Korean acts like a gook, when a Polish person acts like a polack, and so on.  We all have moments when we act like idiots, folks, and oh, it reflects on our ethnic background, our skin tone, our religious convictions, our political party, our gender. 
There are nasty slang names for all of us when we're behaving poorly, greedy, lazy, judgemental, and essentially like less than the people God called us to be.  Names have been called for centuries.  Do I call other people those names?  Rarely, and, if I do, it's  just the 'white' ones I actually label!  I am far more likely to berate myself and others of my likeness than those who are 'different from me' in their coloring, gender, or beliefs! 
I poke fun at myself all the time for being ungraceful and I talk with my hands.  Does that mean I'm making fun of someone with a disability?  Some would lead you to believe that.  I have a dear friend with a form of dwarfism -- guess what?  She has some of the best dwarf related jokes going?  Does she stand up for her rights?  Absolutely!  Do I back her up?  I certainly try! 
It seems to me that there are some people out there in our society, a different version of one-percenters (not the financially wealthy ones we hear about in the media), who want to fan the fire of divide, yet who want to put themselves above all others.  Well, I'm tired of it.  In the slang words of some tough guys, "Grow a Set!" 
Quit looking for things to offend you. Quit espousing everything others do wrong.  Start lending a hand. Start volunteering.  Start saying nice things you observe instead of consistently tearing down others.  Quit looking for the bad people do and mistakes people make.  You are human and make mistakes too, we all do.
There is an old saying that says we reap what we sow.  It's time we start sowing good instead of bad.  It's time we plant a garden of teamwork, of giving, of solving, of working.  It's time to stop all the talking and gossiping and finger-pointing.  Can you picture us all in Kindergarten again?  None of us would receive Satisfactory marks for working well and playing well with others.  None of us.
I dare say, if Christ Himself were to run for (and be elected) President of our country, He wouldn't be good enough for this other group of one-percenters.  He is the only perfect person to have every walked the planet and yet I read these folks espousing what He would say and do.  Without Him in the conversation / debate, None of us have the right to speak for Him.  He is the Son of God and God is a just God. 
Justice, by the way, is giving to each that which is his own.  It is not giving that which belongs to someone else.  Learned that in a fine philosophy class decades ago at university from an old nun who had her doctorate in philosophy.  Brilliant woman, fully tenured professor at a private university -- guess what?  Never heard her griping away about the poor unequal treatment of women.  She walked her own walk, did well, and taught us to do well.
In all honesty, I don't care what color your skin is.  I care what mine is when I get sunburned because that hurts!  I care that as a 'white' person, I'm not given a choice of my varied ethnicities on questionnaires, I'm lumped in with a group called white/caucasian and there's so much more to my background than one lump. That has bothered me since college application days.  Even my natural brindle hair-color doesn't fit a single choice on license applications.  My mother's neutral eyes that changed color with attire and mood never fit on a standard eye-color choice.  I don't care what color you are; I'm glad you have color -- without color the world would be a lot more bland!  Am I victim of white oppression?  Who knows?!?!  I was accused last night on social media of my claiming white oppression.  Oh brother!  I'm white and sometimes I get judged just for being white.  But, you know what?  That's ok.  Judge if you will, that is your choice to judge based on what I just said and on my skin color.  I'm not going to judge you because of your color.
I may question statements you make against our country, someone else's religion or sexual preference, but it will be your actions, your statements, not your personal being.  If you espouse tearing apart my country, if you espouse killing people who don't believe as you do, I'm going to judge that you are breaking a law and unsafe to the general public and will notify the proper legal authorities.  I'm not just going to decide I am judge and jury and dole out justice.  That's the great thing about our legal system here when it works right, when people are actually law-abiding. 
I don't care whether you're male or female (science says there are two genders folks, leave it at that); just do your best at your daily goals, your job, with your family and that's all we can ask.
I don't care what your religion is, but don't be holier than thou over mine, don't shove yours down my throat.  Respect the foundation of our country as a constitutional republic on Judeo-Christian principles.  If that isn't your cup of tea, then there are almost 200 other countries to choose from.  (If you're fond of Sharia law, then I suggest residence in a country where it forms the basis of the law.  We have a something else here, so when in Rome, do as the Romans do and suck it up, Buttercup.)
Sure, we all have the right to free speech in this country of mine, but that doesn't give us the right to force someone else not to share their thoughts, nor does it give us the right to break the laws of this country (from treason to traffic lights). 
If you want to judge, then talk to God about it.  Go to law school.  But don't take your personal flaws and try to impose them on me in a case of reverse guilt.  Fix yourself.  I'm working on me.  If we all worked on ourselves more, I'm betting we could take much better care of our fellow man and our planet. 
We must study history and learn from it.  We must not pretend historical facts didn't occur and try to 'white wash' them.  Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.....Gee, who said that before me?!?
Have I said some offensive things in this post?  Most likely.  Is it my goal to offend?  Not one bit.  Will someone find a way to be offended by my using words we all know in a factual statement?  Probably. 
So, drink that morning coffee, laugh at these one-percenters who seemingly strive to make the rest of us appear evil, bigoted, racist, prejudiced, anti-woman, anti-everything, and live your life to the fullest, love all God's children as He commanded, striving to be a better human everyday, allowing for justice, respecting God's and man's laws (yeah, that's in the Bible too).  I may not like what you do or say, but I can still love you.  I can pray for you; that's part of my First Amendment Right of Free Speech too. 
Cheers.
