Let just imagine that this person was an immigrant for a minute. They are halfway through their application process for citizenship and just trying to make an honest living while they wait. Minding their business and abiding by the law. Then BOOM! You turn up with your, what shall we call it? Good citizen ideology? Or just plain old racial hatred? You make the call to ICE. Next thing you know a gang of masked, armed to the teeth white thugs storm into the restaurant where this innocent person is working and drag them out. They disappear or get shot in the face on the street.”
“Both of these comments were viewed on QUORA a website that offers a variety of material and is linked to LINKED IN. ” I saw this, and I could not ignore it. This isn’t satire; it is pathetic. At what point did this country, our people, decide we could be judge and jury over others? It is not our place to dictate policy, religion, size, shape, choice, or freedoms.
For those who are too lazy, uneducated or just unwilling to accept facts, Sheeprants is spelling it out for you. Puerto Rico is part of the US. They are Americans who work just as hard as we do, suffer through hurricanes, tornadoes, crime, famine, and inequalities. They are some of the kindest, sweetest, most generous beings on the planet. To see brainwashed Trump followers, instigators, assume they can be the judge and jury over anyone is disgusting. To judge without knowing you are violating the rights and civil liberties of innocent people, who have done nothing to you or your family. Their existence has no bearing on how your day will go or your job. It might when you choose to admit your racist attitudes and willingness to harm others.
We already know how ICE treats people, for them to get ahold of someone who did nothing wrong, who is only trying to live, earn a paycheck, pay rent, food, care for their families, just like we are. To assume you have the right to report them because they don’t fit the Suzy Cream Cheese image of what white is; is gross. It smacks of Nazism, and we are not a nation that recognizes such grotesque behavior towards others.
What the second person stated was spot on. It had to be said just like this. If we have to lose readers, we will, but we will not support the nazi regime trying to show its ugly head once again. We will not encourage anyone to speak negatively against any group that has not committed crimes, harmed others, or done anything to warrant such crass comments and behaviors.
It is time we take a hard look at what your leader is really doing; that create divisions where they do not need to exist, as wag the dogs. Turning our own people against each other is not who we are. WE do not make the rules, judge, or throw innocent people to wolves who have no moral compass. Sheeprants is dedicated to opening eyes of people to topics they might miss, ideals they may not understand until it’s too late.
We try to use humor and sarcasm to show relatable things people do to survive. Nobody should have to use violence or the intent to incite a vicious act against another. You should not feel proud or happy if someone is harmed or killed. That is not behavior any book would encourage, no teaching, and no amount of cherry picking can defend. Yes, I am calling out all of you supporters of racism and bigotry, religious cherry-picked garbage to control women or their bodies. Yes, this is for you too. You are not on this earth to harm others, dictate how others live, or dictate how their bodies work. You are not here to attack groups of people who are here legally. How does it feel to have the finger pointed at you? You cannot silence their free speech if you don’t agree with them. It might not be your cup of tea, but you do not cause harm where it is not meant to be.
