So You Think Connecticut Is The Promise Land For Us?

Well think again, our senator Chris Murphy wrote on Facebook,

Too many transgender Americans still have to live in fear of violence. On Transgender Day of Remembrance, let's recommit to stamping out discrimination and violence.

I commented…

Sadly a record has been set for the number of transgender people that were murdered this year. Hate crimes have been increasing not only for the transgender community but also all other minorities.

The replies…

that's because the left brings out the division in us, sadly.
the only hate I see is from the left

Other replies to the senator’s post…

How many people live in fear in Democrat run cities of being shot or stabbed?Robbed or beaten?Regardless of orientation?
Maybe if they dresses normally instead of making fools of themselves no one would notice them, let alone aggress them

There are some defenders…

That is because the right wing cult of hate, despise anyone who is different 😕 Hate crimes rose sharply under 45
Hmmm....odd. It always seems to be those of us on the left, trying to protect the rights of ALL citizens. Instead of making fun of people and being paranoid of them.

In all there were 258 comments to his post.

There is still a lot of hate in Connecticut.

It is not just in Charlotte GA where drivers drive through protesters, in Manchester a man drives through crowd of BLM protesters in Manchester.

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.
Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
