Unfortunately, some are still taught supremacy philosophies, which give way to disrespect, intolerance, privileged mentality, and a lack of diversity. Supremacy philosophies are often found in the make up of the so called, “Fringe Group” of racist motivated individuals, or groups, in America today. The Fringe often displays deep seeded resentment, intolerance, and lack of respect for the achievement, accomplishment, and authority of those outside of their own race.
These strong principles of privilege and resentment drive this group to express their resistance and outrage to change, such as the first African American President, with racial epithets, slurs, and effigies, displayed at many recent Tea Party protests and rallies.
Political debate and discourse related to the issues and policies that best serve the American people is a good thing, and has shaped the fabric of our great country. However, resistance to change related to race and ignorance, is deplorable and offensive.
