It seems that just saying your name when meeting someone for the first time is insufficient. It seems that seeing someone is insufficient. It seems that just saying “Hello, my name is…” is insufficient.
But ticking off every single Democrat Identity Group Totem Pole to which one “belongs” is mandatory – unless you’re somebody like me. It always seems that the purpose is to ENSURE that they don’t qualify as an old white Christian that espoused traditional America values.
So this I’ve had for a while and it PERFECTLY encapsulates how I feel:
That second frame really says it for me: I DON’T CARE!
- I don’t CARE if you are Black. Your skin color doesn’t matter a whit to me.
- I don’t CARE if you are gay. In fact, shoving your sexuality in my face is both obnoxious and irritating.
- I don’t CARE if you are an immigrant. After all, isn’t it the Left that is ALWAYS telling us that we are an nation of immigrants – so they can better justify their Open Border policies and putting illegal aliens ahead of our native born that need help FIRST???
And what torques me off the most is this stupid practice of saying “The first <identity group member> to be <wherever> or accomplished <this status/task/whatever>.
Why do I say this?
E Pluribus Unum – Out of Many, One
That’s what America should be. That was our foundation – that people would come from all over the world because of the IDEAS on which our county was founded on. That all would ascribe to them, inculcate them, express them, and live them. Casting off ALL the former caste identities from their old countries.
And the Left has, for decades, been trying to resurrect them once again. How can a country to united when the Democrats are always insisting on those things that separate us one from another?
What I DO care about is if you are an immigrant, are you embracing those ideas and assimilating? Being part of our Melting Pot instead of insisting on being that Mixed Salad in which one hold onto your previous culture instead of your new one. Sure, be proud of your former country’s culture but not to the point of rejecting your new one.
Keep your sexuality to yourself – I want no part of it and I certainly don’t want you telling my children what it is and why it is normal. That goes for straight people as well.
And again, I don’t care if you are pasty White or deep Black or something else. I want to see you as a PERSON – not the type of melanin you are.
WHAT do you believe in, HOW do you treat your family and friends, ARE you embracing our ideals, DO you know how our Civic systems work, ARE you pulling “the cart” or free loading, and are you paying the taxes you have to (but not a penny more).
And are you kind to small children and pets?
And I really don’t care if you are FIRST – or last.
Just stop it.
I don’t care. Don’t make me care. If you do, you may make me care – but not in the way you are demanding that I do.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
