Today a young white man who believes in South Africa's Apartheid and Rhodesia's models enter a church where African American people pray to shoot them indiscriminately.
This happened in South Carolina, Unites States. A country with a history of proactive anti-discrimination action. A democratic country where the rights of minorities are guaranteed by the constitution and where the rule of law is upheld. A Country where wealth, hope, and the pursuit of happiness are almost a religion.
How then are Americans surprised to see young people joining fundamentalist movements that are fascist and racists in nature. The actions of these organization are mass hate crimes.
How can they be surprised when these crimes are committed by young men that live in countries where there is no rule of law and where hope is a rare commodity.
Hate and violence are a human reality that we need to fight; it is not restricted to certain societies and cultures.
It is a curse and plague of all humanity.
I wonder if this is clear the so called "western civilization".
