Back in the days when the settlers were moving to the West, a wise man stood on a hill outside a new Western town. As the settlers came from the East, the wise man was the first person they met before coming to the settlement. They asked eagerly what the people of the town were like.
He answered them with a question: "What were the people like in the town you just left?"
Some said, "The town we came from was wicked. The people were rude gossips who took advantage of innocent people. It was filled with thieves and liars."
The wise man answered, "You will find this town no different."
They thanked the man for saving them from the trouble they had just come out of. They then moved on further west.
Then another group of settlers arrived and asked the same question: "What is this town like?"
The wise man asked again, "What was the town like where you came from?" .
These responded, "It was wonderful! We had dear friends. Everyone looked out for the others' interest. There was never any lack because all cared for one another. If someone had a big project, the entire community gathered to help. It was a hard decision to leave, but we felt compelled to make way for future generations by going west as pioneers."
The wise old man said to them exactly what he had said to the other group: "You will find this town no different."
These people responded with joy, "Let's settle here!"
I don’t get it either. Such widespread white guilt and feeling guilty for being American barely existed 15 years ago, and the word “racist” was used rarely by the media. Now guilt is a badge of honor and social status among white people. So sad.
That is really good, “progressive” thinking. Outside of the box and would be the best thing my taxes ever went for.
What is that saying? ...good times create weak men, weak men create bad times. Bad times create strong men....
You get the point. 1-way tickets need to rain from the fucking sky.
They will hate anywhere they live.
