I try not to listen to the news because it rarely is about anything good, especially when politics are the topic. This week was no exception. I heard Prime Minister Trudeau apologizing for something he should NEVER have apologized for because he really did nothing wrong. He dressed up in fun and I could see nothing ‘racist’ about his behaviour. Every year tons of people, including myself, dress up for Halloween, painting their faces black, white, yellow, purple, green and various other colours to become their favourite hero, an actor or someone famous. Are these people being racist? What about people who make movies and dress up to play the part of another nationality? Racism? What about kids who just like to dress up when they play to have fun? Racism? Come on people. If you were hurt by these pics, then you have some very serious identity issues.
Racism is wrong. Hatred is wrong. Evil is wrong. We see real examples of racism every day and we need to address the real problems, not waste time on non-issues like this. Nobody should ever hurt another human being for any reason. We should all work hard to lift each other up with our words and actions and when we fail, we should apologize.
These photos were conveniently dug up to make Trudeau look bad just before an election. The person who did this has way to much time on their hands and if they truly care about racism, they should be spending their time with organizations that actually work hard to help people in these situations.
Instead of saying someone is “running for election“, they should more aptly say that they are “running around trying to find something bad to say about the other parties“. I am really sick of listening to parties running each other down and digging up stuff in their past. We can look into almost anyone’s past and find something to make them look bad if we try hard enough. We all do things we are not proud of, but unless they are affecting the people around us in our present life, they are not worth addressing. Purposely destroying another human being is wrong and this is just as bad as racism.
Politics should be about different parties that consist of people with integrity and honesty, bringing the best leader possible in front of the country. Parties should be spending their time researching ways to benefit the country and how they can make things better instead of looking for garbage that is destructive. Leaders should be telling us what they can do for us and not what the other party can’t!
The world is in sad shape and we need responsible leaders. Where are they? I am still looking……….
