Editor, The News:
Please allow me to reintroduce those particular Americans, who unanimously profess to live by various holy books, all of whose main character is the greatest “Healer” ever known.
Yet these Americans do their dedicated best to deny various forms of healing to countless millions of others, with shameful obvious regularity.
Here and now, I confront them with these festering, historically monumental American questions. What would Jesus do? And exactly, why in the hell are they so incapable of honestly asking themselves and sincerely acting upon this very same question?
Unless we, the majority, don’t begin to openly ask and push for answers to these exceptionally fair and most serious of key questions — with constantly effective effort — we will certainly rue the day we did not.
Never since the Revolutionary War has this nation been in more momentous need of everyday patriots who are resoundingly prepared to demand that these questions are powerfully valid reasons why we must remain fearlessly opposed to the ungodly duplicity.
And, we never pause until at least one of them publicly displays the selfless courage that it takes to admit that he or she can no longer support such hollow two-faced falsehoods, like they are sanctimonious trump cards.
Like all others who are left out due to sinful exclusion, millions of us are not only completely white, but also Republican, Christian, hardly educated, destitute, sexually different, behind bars, not-by-choice welfare recipients, unhealthy and hopeless.
Yet regardless of our whiteness, we too are just as casually but surely judged as though we included do not deserve the air we breathe.
All individual citizens thus typically forgotten, should try to refrain from hating our deniers, for fear of our own morality resembling what we detest about theirs.
