Is Mel's Comment That Important?

Come on! Why are we still talking about 'the comment'? Mel Gibson is not a racist. He is being railroaded and bullied because he stated what he believes to be true. How many other people have made comments about other races and been ignored? How are we supposed to heal and rid the world of racism and hatred when it is difficult to have an honest and truthful discussion about religion or history or race relations for that matter? There were religious atrocities commited throughout history and instead of confronting the ill mental and spiritual effects of them we are expected to ignore them and move on. No. Just as the animals pass down experiences through dna so do people; how else can you explain the plight of African- American people? Are we not allowed to say in front of the world that the Europeans have wronged our people as a whole and demand reparations? I guess not because everytime someone does they are quickly and efficiently assassinated, remember Martin Luther, Malcolm, JFK? Why is it wrong to demand someone correct the wrong doing that was done and is still being perpetuated? Not one African on any of those slave ships asked to be brought to this nation. And then to be treated less than a rabbid dog once you are dragged here? Yet the very perpetrators call themselves god-like, god-fearing people. Blasphemous! God created everything that lives and breathes on this planet. Everything was created in harmony until one group (with low self esteem) thought they could rule another group based on differences. Who gave one nation the right to state they are any better than any other nation of people? African-Americans have yet to receive even an apology from the descendents of slave owners. Hell, the KKK still runs around freely all over the country. The psychological tortures and atrocities that were committed on these Africans, who were kidnapped from their land on the strength of Europeans pointing out their differences and calling them less than, is still effecting our people now. How else can you explain a generation of children acting out in agressive ways? Look at our educational system in this country: how are ethnic children supposed to learn the skills they need to survive in our society when their education is crippled from the starting blocks? How can we achieve if the [slave] master is educating our babies? Remember the statement our dear Senator made about killing our babies to rid the world of crime and violence? But we live in a democracy, right? Other countries over seas see how the ethnic children of America are treated, they see how their own children are treated when they arrive over here; yet we still try to impose our way of life onto other nations. How are other nations going to respect this country and trust our leaders as business partners when this country has yet to honor our original contract (the Homestead Act of 1862) of there that be a many people within a great nation? An expiration date has been placed on the Homestead Act before it was fully exposed to those who were supposed to benefit from it. African-Americans don't even receive the full truth concerning the history of how we were brought here and the extent of our mistreatment. Our [African-Americans] ancestor's history has been nearly obliterated as far as documenting our lineage. How's that for a democracy? Education and honesty is so low on the totem pole as far as importance that other countries laugh at us. Our sports players are given more respect (and pay) than the teachers who work hard to prepare our next generation of children for a productive life. Now look at us. In a war with a country based on lies and deceit still trying to acquire something that does not belong to us. What is the real catalyst behind the 9/11 attacks? Why are middle eastern countries so angry with America? Will our elected officials tell us the real deal? Hell no! That would mean they would have to tell just what they did to piss off these other countries. Had it been possible for me to ask Osama himself why is he so angry with America I bet you ten dollars to a dime I could get to the truth of the matter. And he's not even a democrat!
