There are things in this world I feel strongly about. Such as Racism, poverty and Washington’s Caviler attitude toward the right of other peoples and nations to choose their own destiny.
The greatest right of any free society is the right to be wrong. It is not up to us, or Washington to decide what path any nation must take.
Choices are the right of any free people, and who knows, maybe we are the ones who are wrong. I am not a Communist, a Socialist, a Humanist or a free-market Capitalist but I support any man’s of woman’s right to be and I don’t judge, that is God’s job. Mine is to write.
I use the fiction writer’s platform to speak out strongly on such things, especially racism and bigotry.
The Cancer of Racism is an ugly thing and it has no place in a civilized society. History is truly the world’s worst teacher because mankind seems unable to learn from it. It’s a pity that we have been such poor students of the injustices of the past. Bigotry and racism survive because people object to it only when it’s directed toward them, but they often readily accept it or ignore it when it’s directed toward others. Beyond this we must understand that there are two kinds of racism: being treated worse because of your ethnicity and being treated better because of your ethnicity. Both are racism, and both are wrong.
That’s why I write, to make this a better world.
