So today in the Diag at the University of Michigan a group of republican conservatives decided to protest against illegal immigrants in the U.S. They played a game called catch the illegal immigrant. Which is a reenactment of an immigrant crossing the border and having police beat him down and chase him returning him to Mexican Land.
I have a problem with this. I believe its the year 2006 and that people are so beyond common sense, or comprehension, that they find stupidity as...enlightenment.
How can you tell me that beating someone up just because they are trying to gain a better life is a good thing? What makes a person better than the next?
If anything I think is the motivation to strive. Not the need to feel superior, just because you are blessed to be born in "the land of opportunities."
There are soooo many things that people could concentrate on bettering, like the fact that we waste too much energy, that we should concentrate on being at one with the world and with each other. Instead people choose to be angry, but they don't even know why they are angry, they don't even know why they feel they are entitled to bring other people down and supress them.
I am extremely disappointed at all the people who support this movement. You are wasting your energy and giving yourself such a bad image, when in fact you should be dealing with your own personal problems because most likely than not...you have many of them. If not you would be trying to make the world a happy place, not hostile.
I do believe that there are rules and laws to be followed. These rules however DO NOT give people the right to hurt or damage a person, especially when they have committed no crime and are not harming anyone. There are ways to deal with issues without having to resolve to violence and it is painful and disgusting that the best solution to arguments, are fights and sometimes unfortunate casualties. It is on your shoulders, all of you who choose to participate in violence, because of you this world is what it is, full of crime and corruption...and I do believe that conservative people are against crime and corruption...so why are you perpetuating it?
I greatly applaud the Latino community and all the people that were able to make it to the diag. and peacefully protest this horrific scene. (latino kids chose to wear yellow shirts that say michigan immigrant on it, and thats all they did)
I believe this is the best way to deal with such situations and it is my hope that history and kindness teaches people that violence and superiority leads to nothing but pain.
