dehumanizing with words
Ehrlich Calls Multiculture Idea 'Bunk' (washingtonpost.com).
These kinds of comments from leadership, from people who are in high-level positions, are really fueling an environment that is very dangerous and negative. It says it is okay to consider people who are different as something less.
Which echoes what Zagg has said about the racism inculcated in our troops and our culture flowing from the very top. It's not difficult to see, once you know what to look for.
Comments
And don't forget the media.
Every time I hear the phrase, "Let's put this in perspective," or, "John, put this is perspective for us."
Can we not accept the rage of the Iraqis? Can we not accept the shame of the US troops? Why bother redefining the "perspective," so that it m akes sense to Western minds?
It's clearly a betrayal to Americans everywhere, what these soldiers did to these people.
