What I mean is, I don't really see a difference between hatred toward Jews and toward Muslims.
Speaking of Muslims, your president has banned and ostracized a number of Muslim countries for no valid reason whatsoever, and disparaged Muslims in general. Imagine the uproar if he took on the Jews.
Also attacked LGBT, multiple times. Now he wants to make life even more difficult for trans people. Where will they turn to to report hate crimes if they have no legal rights and do not even exist for the administration ?
This administration facilitates hate crimes against LGBT and the more vulnerable people in general, when it should increase their protections, and suppress and prosecute the attackers.
You can't have it both ways.
This is not a game, when you stoke fear and hatred it has consequences, some deranged people feel like they are emboldened to act, or they grow up in an atmosphere of hate and become bad adults. Hatred is a catalyst for murder. Without hate there wouldn't be hate crimes so we have to tackle the issue at the root, that begins with education, tolerance, more understanding and compassion.
Thanks for the kind words though.
1. Travel Ban was to insure protection of American's.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13769
Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen
What does anyone from these countries have to contribute positively and productively inside America?.
They all hate each others religions. They are all at war with one another. Why import born haters. They hate America and American's too for getting involved in their stupid wars. That's where the root of Hate is in this inter-religious garbage.
Do these people from Yemen or Somalia have any industries to build and sell things at all? Do they have any valuable skills at all? How many PhD researchers are there? Let them come in if they want to become PART of the American experience. Please enlighten me, as the EU has plenty of them to deal with and employ and if it were such a success, don't you think the US would agree and welcome them? The answer is no, because of what the President has seen occur with this problem in the EU so his cabinet- not just him decided that inviting people with countries full of religious hate among themselves should remain where it is.
USA has already enough problems with existing groups who don't assimilate and existing nutcases that were born in the USA.
President Trump does not want acid attacks occuring in the USA from the same types of actors arriving and freely going anywhere they want in EU. Angela Merkel and her policies along with all the Brussels people are to blame for not vetting. The EU culture IMO and real time experience traveling there is quite prejudice and much less open to outsiders than the US. I don't want to go into details publically but have first hand experience of lot's of prejudice against non EU citizens that I never felt or saw as in the USA.
2. LGBTQ changes in inane laws created for bathroom protection earlier is hate? What sorts of protections and rights are being taken away? Why should all public spaces need 3 bathrooms? I actually spend time in places where women enter to clean the men's bathrooms all the time, no hassle no nothing. Strange to Americans, but true.
Please, there are faction of the population like the Radical Muslim that shot up the Gay nightclub in Orlando. The worst LBGT hate crime in US History if you can believe Wikipedia. A muslim born in America.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_nightclub_shooting
Omar Mir Seddique : Mateen swore allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and said the U.S. killing of Abu Waheeb in Iraq the previous month "triggered" the shooting. He later told a negotiator he was "out here right now" because of the American-led interventions in Iraq and in Syria, and that the negotiator should tell the United States to stop bombing.
Here the worst situation against LBGT was not caused by white deranged idiots- but a american born muslim terrorist domestic terrorist.
3. The roots of all these problem are complex. A culture that celebrate violence and waters it down in movies- thanks to idiots like Robert DeNiro, Quentin whats his face, Sorcese, on and on and on. Hollywood worship culture is disgusting as if "celebrities" are anybody different than anyone else. Hollywood used to be about nice stuff when I grew up like the Munsters, Addams Family, Brady Bunch, Ozzy and Harriet, Disney, Flipper, etc. For 40+ years it's degraded into all about special effects, explosions, dark themes, car crashes, horror movies of gross proportions, mass shootings, random violence. That and the video games- all of this is a rotten culture.
Another factor is bad parenting. Why did the Afghan Immigrant parents go wrong? They raised a muslim son that commited a horrible crime in Orlando. Where did he get radicalized? And why?
Foster Parenting and broken families cause huge amounts of crime and distress. So does Drug use and the stupid waste of money on the "War on drugs". Should have been legalized and given away free let people who want help, get it. Those who don't well, OD. Remove the money from the cartels and poof there goes the problem. But the US has this law enforcement culture that grows the size of police departments and enforcement of all sorts of areas has made the US a police state.
The USA was founded on independence, NOT dependence on Government. The Governments job was established to protect the people from enemies foreign and domestic. That's basically it. But it has morphed into millions of laws and make-work jobs for Overpaid Government employees- who could otherwise never get a real job outside of DC. The USA wasn't founded on handing out free anything. This Free college education, free food stamps or any sort of welfare. I do believe that immigrant children illegal or illegal should be given free public education however, especially to learn the native language which is English. Education along with entry level jobs to instill a work ethic. Look at all the earlier cultures before this century. Bi-Lingual. For some reason, why do I keep reading that a large percentage of the population does not speak English? That's both a Democrat and Republican problem not passing a stupid law (more laws ugh) to make English mandatory.
The immigrants of the 18th and 19th century were hard working people, farming and agriculture to feed THEMSELVES. If someone didn't plant their crops on time or was too lazy to get their own firewood- either people helped them (if they deserved it) or they starved. You don't work, you don't eat- as the bible states.
I do believe common sense has about to evaporate and really gotten so far off base with reams of laws and lawyers that it an industry into itself. Today is worse than the 60's Vietnam era. And it's not because the President of the USA has a loud mouth, is strong and says stupid things here and there.
I do not believe there is as much hate as you read about the USA in news. I do believe there are quite a few wackos and if you look they are lone wolves- unlike packs of them in dangerous gangs who have no intentions of following the laws.
The wackos are everywhere if you spend too much time to look at twitter comments all over about anti-this and anti-that. People exaggerate as well.
It's because the culture is F***ed up.
There is nothing President Trump or his cabinet of advisers can do to change the current situation. He has a America First Agenda- that is what he was elected on. When that changes- well back to more nanny state laws.
End of rant.
