OT. Rant
I'm very upset. I've mailed for quite a few years to an American woman that
I knew from my chicken group. We got on pretty well. Last year she forwarded me a mail that I considered to be racist, but it was only a few hours before I was due to fly to visit my German friend, so I mailed a disapproving reply and said I'd like to discuss it with her when I got back. I never did. A few weeks ago she started to forward me pro-Bush mails. Well, I'm sorry, but he seems to be a bit shall we say intellectually challenged, so I said so. But now, she is sending what seems to some sort of fundamental Christian mails to me. Extremely racist, homophobic and right wing. I have challenged her on every mail and she just got cross and said I was a stupid liberal. There is more, but I won't bore you with it. I just won't have her tell me that she refuses to let anyone into America and if so they must speak English. For G's sake. If she was true to her word she ought to speak Native American. It isn't her country, after all. I told her I don't want to have a friend who thinks like this. She told me she doesn't want to have a friend that is ineducable about what is going on in America. It will be painful for me to fall out with her, but I cannot tolerate a racist and bigot. She thinks she is right, and I think I am right. I can't see that being a racist and a bigot is right in any country. She quotes the Bible at me. I told her that I didn't think God was a bigot. This is hard for me. We have been friends, and we are falling out about Bush. That was the first thing. I'll never compromise about the other racism and homophobic stuff. It might be the end of our friendship. Tweed |
