"Down with the White Christian Man"

     Just yesterday, I posted on my Facebook Timeline about an up-coming boycott the Liberal and Gay community were organizing against Chik-Fil-A Restaurants for the inflammatory comments made by their CEO. Needless to say, it sparked a debate beyond expectations. I may have even lost a friend due to it. So, with all of that said, I'd like to dig into this subject and expand into what this is really all about......"Down with the White Christian Man". Now that's got to be a title that gets your attention.
     All through history, there has been conflict between people of different, beliefs, skin color, sex, etc. It's not a bad thing to have a different opinion from someone else, but it is to allow those differences to excel into an aggressive act. As a Christian, I've been taught to love my brother and sister (he's speaking of every living being) and respect their feelings. The Lord made each of us individually which means that we all will not only look different, but have different points of view and concerns regarding all subjects. Now, that doesn't mean that we won't see eye to eye on everything. He made us this way so that we could be individually empowered to live our own lives as we wanted. So, when I see certain individuals or groups preying on certain races, groups, or classes of people to try and sway them (using manipulation tactics) to their way of thinking so as to assist them in pushing their agenda, I become aggravated. When an individual such as Al Sharpton starts his rhetoric about how black people have been oppressed for the past 400 years and certain classes and races listen, the views of these groups becomes swayed to believe that the evil white man has kept them down. The truth is, before American slavery, blacks were slaves in Africa under slave owners who were black. Yes, black. In fact, they were sold to white plantation owners in America by their black African owners and in turn were mostly treated better than by their previous owners. And I do say mostly because not all were treated well. What the biased history books of today won't tell you is about 2/3 of all slaves in America were treated very well having a separate house or building to live and raise their families in. In these buildings, they had furniture, beds, fireplaces, etc. In Africa, they were chained together, constantly beat, and made to sleep on the ground like dogs. On some plantations, certain slaves were allowed to stay in the main house, eat at the main table with the owners, even bathe in the tubs of the main house. These were well respected and trusted slaves.....treated as family mostly. You'll never hear Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson speak a word of those situations. Why? Because it won't help their race-baiting agenda. And that's just the blacks. There's still issues brewing with the Hispanics, the Asians, etc. The fact is.....Racism will only go away when we as a society stop allowing individuals like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to influence our way of thinking. God gave us a brain of our own, use it.
     Religion has been a controversial topic since just after the beginning of human existence. I, as a Christian, have chose to believe in God and the writings of the Holy Bible. Others have chosen to follow the writings of Mohammed, Buhda, etc. My belief is that each and every living person has the freedom to follow whoever they chose without persecution from others, but I have also lived my whole life in a country which gives me that freedom. Some countries do not give such freedoms. With that said, I can't help but to continue to believe as I do because I don't believe that God wishes to force people to follow him. He gave each one of us "Free Will" for a reason. Free will allows us to make our own decisions about what we believe in and how we want to live our lives. Under other Gods, those views are frowned upon and in turn have sparked events such as "The Crusades", religious genocide, and many terrorists attacks around the globe. The last two were and are nothing short of evil acts perpetrated by madmen. The Crusades were the wars between the Christians and the Muslims almost a thousand years ago. Sometimes, I feel that they are still happening today.
     In the past 50 years, other dividing factors have become recognized and pushed to the forefront of society.......sex and homosexuality. Sex as in referring to male versus female and homosexuality is self explanatory. These two factors have truly become major components in the Liberals attempt to divide our country. Throughout history, the woman has been expected to take a lesser role behind the male figure in the family. In some situations, it wasn't a good thing, but in most it was just viewed as the male was more able to provide and take care of the family. Since the women's Lib era, women have taken on more and more leading roles in society which, in most cases, has had great outcomes. But, as most of us already know, the Liberal society living among us is doing everything they can to divide us. They've even pushed for separate rights for women, even above and beyond the rights of males. The same goes for homosexuals. They've been persecuted since the acknowledgement of their existence. This being because heterosexuals just don't understand why they are what they are. We, as heterosexuals, only know what we are and what trials we face. Sometimes, its hard to step into the shoes of others who's action seem so out of the norm (as they see it). It all comes down to "Fear". We fear and feel threatened by what is different. Unfortunately, when faced with fear, we as humans react either in running away or attacking that that we fear. And heterosexuals have been since labeled as "Gay Bashers" for not only acts that they may have made, but others as well.
     And where is the White Christian Male in all of this? Well, he's usually the target for all of these groups. He bought the slave from the African slave trader, he hung blacks from trees in the early to mid 1900s, he killed Muslims for Religious reasons, he beat his wife and kids throughout the years, and he beat up gays among other things. Unfortunately, that's what people think. The truth is, every race has its bad apples and those apples were the perpetrators of these crimes. Most of these men were and are good people who would never harm another. When it came to the battles between the Christians and the Muslims, we all know the truth there......the Muslims were, and still are, trying to wipe the Christians and every other religion off the face of the Earth. Extermination. As Christians, we are taught to turn the other cheek. And we try........well, at least until these savages step across the line. Now, I'm in no way saying that all Christians are innocent. They have their bad apples as well.
     My purpose for this blog is that too many situations throughout time have escalated to levels which have produced more harm than solutions. Some more harm than others, but harm none-the-less. As for this Chik-Fil-A situation, I don't fully agree with the words chosen by Mr. Cathy, CEO of the fast food chain, but I do respect his right to his opinion. It seems that some have misconstrued that fact in my earlier post. With that said, I will spell it out so that I'm clear. Here following are simple bullet points laying it all out:
-I am offended by the way Mr. Cathy made his statement. I'm not offended because I'm gay (which I'm not). I'm offended for my gay friends, because gay or not, they are still just everyday people to me.
-I do not, and never will, support a boycott of any business in this country. As I've said, small businesses are the backbone of this country and boycotting any of them for one person's statements is nothing other than a bullying tactic. Let me expand on that and put things into "gay" perspective for the homosexual community. If Ru Paul came out and said, "F*** all you straight people. You can all go to H***." Do you think that straight people should retaliate against all gays for these statements? I'll bet you don't. When it comes to those people running and working Mr. Cathy's restaurants, they all probably cringed when he said what he did. But you liberals are gonna punish them anyway, aren't you? That's why I think that they (boycotters) are bullies. Bullies look for opportunities to demean and torture other people.
-I will be eating there all day for every meal on that day in support, not for the CEO, but for the small people. Not only that, Liberals look for any opportunity to hurt Capitalism. I, along with many other Americans, will counteract this weak attempt to do so.
Anyone who thinks differently, you are part of the problem, not the solution. You need to re-evaluate your life.

I'm out!
