**Before you read, if you think what follows is to be taken at face value, then you, faceless internet reader, do not know me, a faceless internet poster. If you weren't aware, "A Modest Proposal" is a reference to Jonathan Swift, satirist. Carry on.**
I
think it’s time we take a look in the mirror, America. Let’s look at our big, beautiful, pudgy
faces, probably smeared with a combination of chocolate and bacon grease, our
hair a little askew, some type of bad mustache with a few stray hairs, and ask
ourselves, when did we change? When did
we become something different than who we used to be? We never used to accept
news coverage that was this shoddy, this rote, and this lacking in information. As a country, we used to demand MORE.
As a
country, do we really want to become the type of people who are afraid – and
that’s what it is: FEAR – to jump to conclusions, and make wildly speculative,
semi-to-fully racist accusations based on nothing other than our own internal
prejudices and fears?
