I Give To Them No More

I have tolerated so much this past year that it should be against the law. But still nine months into the year of 2017 I am still being called names because of my beliefs. See.... I commented on one of those "Bash Trump, still stuck in the Obama era" discussions by someone who does not live in the US, and because I live in Alabama this person insinuated that I am a racist! This person wrote " Mississippi and Alabama are the most racist states in the USA." I don`t see Alabama like this at all, actually I think Alabama has more black, Asian and Mexican people than white people. I wish people would just come and see how you are treated in Alabama. People here treat people how they are treated. So let me say ............ I do not like to be called names because I am a republican . I do not like to be called names because I live in Alabama. I do not like to be called names because I believe in God. I do not like to be called names because I am white ( with a touch of American Indian). As of today I will NOT add to your bank one tenth of a cent to make you money if you are continuing to spread hate about people you do not know, or the elected officials of MY country that I love. End of this rant. Now , how is your morning going?

I agree wholeheartedly. How can a person pass judgement on an area they have never seen let alone lived in.

Well, it takes all kinds doesn't it @andriaperry I wonder what those kinds of people would do if we were to write something judgemental about their countries.

I don´t talk either politics or religion here. I do it though at home. But mostly we are respectful of what others think. I don´t mix with people who don´t accept that others have their right to think different

@andriaperry You are right although in real life we tend to hang out with people that have similar beliefs

No need to have a closed mind, nothing is ever just one way and one way only.

@marguicha Yes but I am open to new ideas so I am not going to down someone just because they do not believe the same as me and I expect the same.

I'm sick of people being so hateful too. It seems that the ones who claim to be "tolerant" really aren't so tolerant when it comes to anyone who thinks differently than they do.

@andriaperry I don't blame you. I think we should all start ignoring those types. I'm all for considering other's points of views but not if they're going to be hateful about it.

I agree with you. I might agree with all the Presidents points of view, but it was the people of the US who elected him. I accept everyone's decision and I don't feel like bad mouthing him. As for the rest you are so right to be angry and say this. I have never found you a racist and it isn't right for anyone here to apply this to anyone. BTW had a good day.

@andriaperry I have to agree. Any hate discussion should not be allowed on this site.

I think the hate discussions should be banded. I am glad that you are.

I was raised in being respectful of people and their beliefs. So you don't have to worry about me calling you names. I was born in Quebec and live in Ontario now. I was called "a frog" because I spoke French, can you believe that?

I see the same thing on face book....they bash....they criticize....if they would just put this much effort into working for a solution. I've been to Alabama....I've spent time in Mississippi. Treat people with respect....you also might get respect in return. I personally avoid any political discussions.

This person does not even live in the USA so how does she know how people are? I pass it on by. People need to know that the Obama years are gone, there is NO way he can be President again, that is just the facts. But somehow they think if Trump is out of that seat he can take it again.

I so agree with you, I have a right to vote they way I please and so do you. I don't read or comment on anything religious or political. Those who name call think their opinion is the correct opinion. I disagree as I have a right to my opinion just like they do. And it seems people like that don't think my opinion is right because I don't agree with them. I have no time for people like that.

I went searching for that discussion, but couldn't find it. Politics could become a very sensitive subject suddenly.
