The Golden Rule

Okay, unless you were born yesterday, you know that the Golden Rule is "treat others as you would treat yourself". (Or Do Unto Others)

Being a woman of faith, I know Jesus has told His disciples to do the same. They were all Jewish. Jews. People from another country, of another faith.

Now to my point (or message):

So now we have a new President. He just happens to have a different skin color than, say, a caucasian. He has relatives from a foreign land. Who in this nation doesn't? I myself am a mutt. I have ancestors from all over.

Now one thing I will give to "African Americans": They were originally brought to America against their will. They were slaves. That was an abomination. Lincoln freed them. They had a HUGE struggle to get to the place where they can even vote. So God Bless them.

My parents always taught me to treat others as I would treat myself. They took me to church, where I was taught the the same thing. So I did. I never saw color as an issue.

So can we now get past skin color? Black, White, Yellow, Red? Native Americans, still living on Reservations: Where does it end? This is America. The United States of America. In God We Trust. Let's finally unite. Let us do unto others, as we would have other do unto us. Because if we don't....we will fail.

God Bless America.
