Can you figure it out? > I think that is pretty much a no brainer why she received so many negative responses. At first glance, the letter attempts to justify the attacks. Rosa, how many family members did you lose...or friends. Yes I understand what you are saying, but the majority of america will say if that's the way you feel, get the fuck out of our country and go fight for the palestinian movement or what else you believe in. Rationality is only a word. We do not live in a pefect world. But just the fact she can even write this email is proof and example to what a free society we live in. In Afghanistan, she would probably be dead right now. My suggestion to Rosa may be, get a couple of friends who agree with her philosophies, find a piece of land somewhere where she can spout of her perceived anti-american propaganda without consequence. But if she values her safety, she should be careful what she says, because remember not everyone is as balanced, rational, and as thoughtful as she. The recent outlash on arab-americans is the proof. And isn't the war mongering media you bloody idiot! Ignorance is where the backlash stems from. The same ignorance that stills refers to african americans as niggers, italians as wops, arab americans as rag heads and list goes on. Naziism! Please. Next you'll tell me the holocaust didn't happen. Are you a theater major because you sure are dramtaic. We are not a perfect nation and you are free to your opinion, but I don't have to agree with you and reserve the right as an american to tell you and the rest of the world to fuck off! Whether I really feel this way or not, you'll never know, but I can say it! And that is why I like being from the United States of America. Ed Wagenseller American and fucking proud of it! 1st ammendment(freedom to cus no matter who it offends) thanks for the thought provoking email Rosa. But if you are going to step on a limb, you better be ready to maintain your balnce because folks are gonna try to shake you off. |
