What a week to give this prompt, especially me, because I can honestly say, don’t get me started! Remember the old tv show named “The Week That Was”? This would be one of those for sure. Michigan is suffering. Every day I wake up to see or read some unbelievably horrid news and the descent into madness. However, I am a lucky one, white, old, disabled, and no one messes with me. I don’t attend protests even though I’m there in mind. I live in Wyoming and there’s only a few people I can even converse with who feel the same about politics and religion. On the religious opinion I must say it puzzles me how someone can “believe” self-righteously and still act the way they do. What about the golden rule? What about love thy neighbor (they have a caveat-as long as you’re a white Christian). Well the prompt was don’t get me started and I guess I answered that. Okay, I’m ready for you, let me have it…

We are white, disabled and pensioners, both being targeted by our government and likely to be penalised or jailed if we complain..

It is a devastatingly horrible time and I am on the same page as you. I’m also and older white woman, and a Christian, and those that say they follow Jesus and then don’t…it both disheartens and angers me. There is a ton of scripture that asks us to love, to help others in need, to welcome the stranger, to be peaceful…and yet they ignore it, use it as a weapon, and abuse it. All we can do, for now, is stay strong, keep the faith of love and hope, and vote blue in November.

I have one proposed edit to something you wrote:
“they have a caveat-as long as you’re a white Christian AND A MALE.”
