Forgive them Lord they know not what they do. Do onto others as you would have them do onto you.
Matthew 22:36-40
New International Version (NIV)
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

My bold
I am an educated well spoken man people often forget that I’m Brown and say things in front of me as if I were not there.
The Educated Man of Color I find is invisible in the White World and gets to hear their secrets. Keep a still tongue and you can learn what people really think. I think they wonder why I keep my distance? I keep my distance because the Mask I wear can only hide so much of what I feel.
I need to understand how they think when they think nobody is listening.
Immigrants should not go to the emergency room we need to help the people in this country first! ( not an exact quote memory fails ).
What I wish I said that day is all Americans get emergency room treatment.
What I wish I said that day was
“A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

My Bold I wonder if she did not know me at all would she drive on by if I was in a car accident? Because Americans need medical care I do look like an immigrant after all.
I’m sick of people getting money because when they don’t work. ( again not an exact quote but a different person spoke )
Again such hate astonished me I was left speechless I was reminded of Ronald Reagan using Racial Code Words like they to mean Black People to his racist audiences but I’m sure she just meant all unemployed people. But the frame work of hate for the other is there.
The term "welfare queen" is most often associated with Ronald Reagan who brought the idea to a national audience. During his 1976 presidential campaign, Reagan would tell the story of a woman from Chicago's South Side who was arrested for welfare fraud:
"She has eighty names, thirty addresses, twelve Social Security cards and is collecting veteran's benefits on four non-existing deceased husbands. And she is collecting Social Security on her cards. She's got Medicaid, getting food stamps, and she is collecting welfare under each of her names. Her tax-free cash income is over $150,000."[4]
Since Reagan never named a particular woman, the description can be viewed as an example of dramatic hyperbole. Despite claims that the woman never existed,[5]

Little Lies breed little hate I’m sure they would never act on such ideas. But like a Serial Killer in training psyching himself up to take a life by talking about killing openly and more often. Society seems to be psyching itself up to do something.
Thats my report on the state of the Nation.
But if they should ever do do something here is a warning, a tale of Regret if these little sinners ever move up to the big time.
Coming Home
Lines are Drawn Battle offered standing still I accept their judgment raising not a hand in self defense
Knowing that to forgive much less forget is not the Mob’s virtue
Why ask of them I reason what I find I am unable to do for myself?
I realize then that even by not taking any action to defend myself I still threaten the Mob with the memory of what I’ve done
They hold no Hope of my Redemption nor do they entertain the thought that I may regret what I have done.
Threats I know are not to be tolerated so maybe I subconsciously sought death by coming back as some twisted means of atonement
For I realize now that by coming back and standing my ground I give some no choice but to remember
And though I have paid the Law’s Price for my Freedom
Society can’t leave me alone until they have confronted me
That will be my gift to them then
My Coming Home and facing them
I will let them confront me and in so doing let them confront themselves
I will become a Scapegoat Representation
A Concrete Manifestation of all the evil that they fear inside.
Confront me they do now as the Mob howls working out their Anger Fears and Pain
In a painfully realistic version of aggression therapy
As I stand there trying to give lie to the myth called Mercy
Death is Freedom from Regret
A Chance to abandon the whole mess and start over again
The Mob thinks they punish me They are doing me a favor They show me Mercy
True Vengeance would have been to let me live
Thank God they don’t understand Revenge
They think that they hurt me
Yet in the manner in which they take my life I by allowing them to tear into me show them that the evil that is inside of me is not so exclusive as they would like to think
Maybe afterward they will be horrified by their actions and take warning
In so warning them I’ve finally made up for what I’ve done
I can now die forgiven because I can finally forgive myself.
The only thing I regretted the only thing I feared was the eyes of a girl who believed in me I sent her away I could not face them.
Even though she kept visiting… waiting.
Time moves on so did she but living with Regret is worse than death.
Take heed little sinners. If there is anyone, anything that you love in this world don’t give in to the anger. Don’t start thinking you should take more or from someone else don’t start thinking you deserve whats not yours be it person place or thing.
Care for all people as you care for yourself or you may lose the only one you cared for.
For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.

Being Astray is not Loving your neighbor as yourself and not Doing onto others as you would have them do onto you.
