GET OVER IT
No matter how many times people attempt to distort history, the fact
remains that the Civil War was fought over the issue of slavery. For America it meant the right side won. It
is unfortunate that throughout history some individuals have been brainwashed
to give their lives for unworthy causes.
Fighting to keep people enslaved was an unworthy cause.
It takes a big man or woman to admit a mistake, but by doing so we
become better humans. That is why I say that many Southerners need to ‘get over
it.’ Slavery was wrong and America is a better place even if it took a war to
right the wrong. If the Civil War had not been fought, slave uprisings would
have continued and Southerners would have never been able to live in peace. The Confederate flag was the symbol of the
Civil War and the Civil War was fought to keep a race of people in involuntary
servitude, thus the Confederate flag should not be displayed in front of
government buildings.
The issue of ‘get over it’ also applies to the Supreme Court’s ruling on
same-sex marriage. No matter what culture, what country, what race, or what
national origin, in all societies some people of the same sex fall in love with
each other. Same-sex marriage has been
legal in the United States for several weeks, and it has not hurt one single
person.
It is totally wrong for some political and religious leaders to continue
to advocate social policies that divide the nation. Anything that divides a society weakens a
nation. The divine purpose of The United States of America is to show the world
what a mixed society of free people can accomplish when they work together.
Oppressed people all over the world need to know that there is one place where
people can be free, therefore the light of freedom should never be dimmed in America
