“Who are They?”
A Mort Laitner Essay
They were the people who saw no wrong in the segregated South.
They were the people who said, “The only good Indian is a dead Indian.”
They were the people who held their Bibles high in the air and proclaimed slavery was G-d’s will.
Today, they think they are supermen or superwomen—
but they don’t care about truth, justice or the American way,
They act as if the Good Book controls their lives—but they do not understand its meaning, its parables or its essence— on what it means to be a good person.
They only love themselves and hate the different.
They are good liars.
They lie to themselves and to others as if hurting the different causes no pain.
Their minds and their hearts are set in stone.
Their hatred chiseled deep into their hearts.
They know who they are and they do not care.
Ask them!
And they will proudly tell you to shut the fuck up.
