God grant me the serenity?


I just wrote cajunjoe's blog...I never do that..
but I wasn't writing it him.. I wouldn't waste my time..

but I wrote post it here
His blog is about how astounding it is to hear a Black woman talk about a prayer to hate White People

This is my response..

"It's hard to not judge when someone expresses their feeling.. The failure in the judgment is..... not challenging and evaluating your own feeling towards it

Of course you can't understand it...

It's the challenge to us to hate....and having to deal with it.
Her prayer, is how she see it..White people not being challenged
She want God to give her... what she perceives white people have..Of course it not entirely true .. but it true about You

"God grant me the serenity of hating White people, as you have granted white people the serenity in hating Black people."

So think about what hating reflects on whom?

WHAT I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE IS INTER-RACIAL HATRED. I LIVE IN A MULTI-RACIAL AND CULTURAL SOCIETY AND IF I STARTED HATING THIS ONE AND THAT ONE, I WOULD END UP LIKING JUST ABOUT NO ONE AT ALL.

I read Hank's blog......We all know by now that his mind is rigid....That he has no imagination, empathy, irony.....We have seen his Racism, Misogyny, Homophobia, Xenophobia.......Basically, a fear of the "Other".......

He also distains intellectual curiosity and self-education, so, of course he doesn't do any research when he comes across confirmation bias like the rant he posted.

He probably doesn't know or care who wrote it and he certainly didn't do any research...delve into the surrounding circumstances or history.......

As is often the case, Right Wing Evangelicals are famous for their lack of interest in or knowledge of the Bible......If the little twerp who wrote it or Hank had the Biblical knowledge that the author of the poem has, they would recognize the style from the Psalms and understand the intent.......But they aren't interested, they just want an excuse to exercise their hatred.......

I don't open his blog posts nor that other person with the ever changing name. They don't interest me and I wish they would just go find another outlet.

He doesn't realize our history.. and how easy it is for white people to hate black people.. those white people don't even have to think about it.. They simply don;t understand the challenges black people have to hate white... Black people wish they had it easier to hate white people..
.They wish they didn't have to deal with the conflict that white people get to ignore about hating blacks.

Exactly.....It doesn't seem like it would be so difficult for people to understand that......Her meaning is actually very clear ... The Right-wing Christian/ Trumpian attitude towards Critical Race Theory is so weird....so paranoid, so lacking in empathy....so twisted....It astounds me.....
