"Creating a societal schism by suggesting that the “bad people” are the root cause of all the problems. A society divided against itself cannot stand."
Somehow stumbled upon this essay and found it extremely refreshing to read. As someone who grew up in Asia and currently live in America, I feel the same way.
I love this, but no white American would dare write such a thing. It would be suicide. Today is far worse than the McCarthy era. Back then only a few thousand communists were being persecuted. Today, everyone is afraid. It is like Americans must re-stage the Salem witch trials every other generation. My only hope is that the descendants of Asian, African and Latino immigrants will save us from ourselves.

Thank you so much for your kind words.
I still believe in the courage of individuals.
