Now, I Care (Excellent read)
Texas Gun Trader ^ | 9 July 2020 | Anonymous

Now, I care

I never cared if you were “gay” or whatever acronym you chose to call yourself, until you started shoving it down my throat.

I never cared what color you were, if you were a good human, until you started blaming me for your problems.

I never cared about your political affiliation until you started to condemn me for mine.

I never cared where you were from in this great Republic until you began condeming people based on where they were born and the history that makes them who they are.

I never cared if you were well off or poor because I’ve been both, until you started calling me names for working hard and bettering myself.

I never cared if your beliefs are different from mine, until you said my beliefs are wrong.

Now, I care. I’ve given all of the tolerance I have to give. This is no longer my problem. It’s your problem. You can still fix it. It’s not too late. But it will be. Soon.

I’m a very patient person at times, but I’m about out of patience. There are literally millions of people just like me.

We have had enough.

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

Yes, the time is up for the grievance industry.

I did not care if you lived in your parents basement until you threatened to burn down my property with the same match you just lit your joint with.

I have this on my wall:

“Don’t ever mistake my silence for ignorance,

My calmness for acceptance,

And my kindness for weakness.”

At the bottom is an image of a sniper.

“I can relate”. As can 99% of the people here on FR. Well said by the writer.

I put that thinking about the stupidity of people for not seeing where all of this is heading. That is why it is there.

The author neglected to mention what I consider the ultimate black privilege; affirmative action. Two Americans with identical qualifications apply for the same positions in government or corporate entities, one black, the other white - the black applicant has an unfair advantage due only to the color of his skin!

Objections to the US and our system are all the more preposterous when you consider that no one is here under any kind of duress.

The road to the airport is open and people are free to leave at will

God knows, the globe is littered with JUST the kinds of countries and systems protestors claim to prefer for the US... there are many places, everywhere on earth where their supposed preferences are ‘ready made’ for them, so-to speak. GO THERE!

I think the author read my mind. The credit limit on tolerating this BS has been reached.

There is a corollary about what happens when the Anglo-Saxons get mad;

“they burn villages and cities, but when we get mad we burn whole continents”

My apologies, but I cannot find or remember the source.

Love this. Very well said. And the author is correct, there are MILLIONS who feel the same.
