Are We Really the Bad Guys?

("What if We're the Bad Guys Here?")

Treating bigotry and hatreds as justifiable response to an "unfair system" is to turn perpetrator into victim. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in ourselves but in others who compel us to act as we do.

So, the root cause lays in those who maneuvered their way out of the draft in the 1960's and made certain that the "undesirables" were in your neighborhood, not theirs, in the 1970's? I thought that was a biography of Mr. Trump. Then why is this rich little rich boy not reviled by those who have been dealt such a bad hand?

Trumpism is not a reply to inequities. It is merely a license to give one's worst instincts unfettered freedom, to disregard truth, to abandon compassion. 

It is not an answer. It is merely an excuse.
