Scarlet Letter...a book by Nathaniel Hawthorne

the protagonist is a lass impregnated thru an adulterous affair with her clergy (a Cotton Mather type...Mather was a hell and brimstone sort who wrote fiery sermons for the Congregationalists in the 1600s here)

She is found out and made to wear a letter A on her bodice when in public to pronounce her sin to the world

as a metaphor or analogy I use that scenario to describe out modern obsession with white on “any minority” racism....a racism I find exceedingly rare and exploited when found found or invented

most troubling to me is that many minorities are openly hostile to “white culture”....whatever that is.....and no one hardly cares if at all...like we deserve it

this crippling guilt disorder makes it impossible for us to deal with any problem regarding anything racial, ethnic, religious even sexual preference minority for fear of being labeled a hater or bigot

it makes it nigh impossible to address illegitimacy, WOT, Islam, homosexuality, the family and many other issues of our time

that’s my opinion anyhow.....I grew up in an earlier less sensitive age than many here
