Liberal Racism: 25 Things I Learned After I Wrote About ISIS and White Racism at the Daily Kos

25. I see what we did as just as bad.

Probably because it was my ancestors in the Middle passage and on plantations, and as the natives being slaughtered in the name of uncle sam and god. And because of the way Jim crow was backed up by religion and we got lynched and burned to death. And the way we still torture innocent people to death in electric chairs, because black people are autimatically guilty, then we unconvict the after their deaths from torture because of DNA.
We barely stopped denying blacks education, we still deny them the right to walk around unmolested, stop and frisk black folks is real and ongoing. 25 percent of us spend time in prison, many innocent, and too poor to afford lawyers, because poor is how america wants us. Just as bad.
We were still being sold after slavery. Still kept in plantations, just as sharecroppers and had to run north for freedom just to be segregated and despised.
We have many faults we try to ignore whike we demonize people and say we aren't as bad, and never were. Yes we were. In some ways we still are. And we used religion as a cudgel too. We say Muslims and Islam need to change instead of realizing its a segment of Islam and that we have segments of Christianity with similar beliefs. We just do more killing and more efficiently and don'r say it's in the name of Christ. Still killed a Million Iraqis. Led by our born again christian president. No wonder they think it's a religious war.
