Tolerance

 The Trumplican Party wanting to do away with DEI, and the so called "Critical Race Theory." We have racism and discrimination in this country from both the majority, and the minority. The only to eradicate racism is through education. With education comes understanding. With understanding comes empathy, and with empathy comes a tolerance of the rights of others. This from both sides. The liberals are guilty of it, with the tearing down the memorials, of the Confederacy. That is a a period we would, as Americans, like to forget. But we can't. It is part of our history. A history that we have changed, not eradicated, but changed for the better. We need to teach that. The Trumplicans want to whitewash the entire history, so as not to make the white children feel and about their race. White children need to know that some of their ancestors were bad, but some of them weren't. Because some were bad, doesn't mean they are bad. The white children need to know that while whites were bad, they did do some good. The whites both instituted slavery, and abolished it. Both sides need to quit trying to whitewash the truth, to make people now feel better about themselves and their ancestors, through misinformation, deception, and outright lying. It comes from both sides and it needs to stop. We need to teach our children that there is discrimination in this world, and that the only way to overcome that, is through tolerance, and understanding. Not discrimination disguised as tolerance, but true tolerance. Tolerance that starts with observing that we all have rights, and we should be free to express those rights without derision, or discrimination. It goes both ways. This goes for both sides; discrimination disguised as tolerance, is not a virtue, but a vice.
