Prejudice

Prejudice is another one of my pet pieves.  I want to give you my stance on prejudice.  I do not believe in judging individuals because of their race, denomination, gender, culture etc.  I am repulsed at individuals that do.  To me they are hypocrites.  They will go to church and believe in the Lord and worship the Lord and yet come home and fight with their neighbors and turn their noses to people in another race.

It is my belief that the Lord has put many different people on this earth whether they be Black, Indian, Hispanic, Fat, Skinny, Tall, Handicapped, criminal records etc for a reason.  That reason was not to be hateful.  We are people, we all bleed, cry, sweat, worry, hurt, love etc.  So where do people get off  hurting others with actions.  Though many may not realize what they are doing, but by simply not even saying Hello can be hurtful.

We own a rental house and just recently we rented it out to a white woman and a black man from Sudan.  They are a very nice couple.  However, most of the people in the town don’t seem to want to be friendly to them.  You know Koang the husband made a very interesting statement to me:  He said “All these people who live on this street should want to help one another, like a tribe”.  He comes from a country where there are many tribes and yet they seem to be able to work amongst themselves, and then I look at us.  Wow we could really learn something here!

I want to make a strong statement and this is a promise.  If anyone makes a discriminatory statement about or too my renters I guarantee it I will make this a major issue in the press and I don’t mean just the Aurora News Register I mean a full blown investigation on the community and break it wide  open.  I have no qualms about doing this!

Harassment

Have you ever noticed that when you are living in a small town, there are certain individuals that seem to be harassed all the time?  I have, my family is one of them.  Seems like in our community it is who you know, and who you are constantly kissing up to.  We don’t socialize much, in general we tend to keep to ourselves, yet it seems like every time we turn around someone is trying to cause strife in our lives.  It gets old!  You start thinking maybe it is time to fight back and I mean in a way that will definetly wake the town up.  So this is why I have started this blog.  I am tired of people harrassing us.  I am also going to start persuing legal action and start suing people.  Suing has never been one of my beliefs but I think it is time to start believing in it.

We have done nothing but try to help the community and ways such as bringing awareness about the town, helping trim trees in town and not being reimbursed by the town and volunteering our services.  But you know it seems like no matter what we do to try and help and it’s not appreciated.  The people keep on picking and picking and picking. 

Now take some other people town who have a ton of unlicensed vehicles their yards are trashed but nothing ever happens!  Why?  I ask is because they are friends with certain individuals in the community and they manage to kiss butt very well! 

They complain that my horses create flies where they are located right now.  Funny.  Did they ever consider that maybe their dog poop is creating flies.  When we had our horses located somewhere else in town that was the complaint and we moved them a total of 4 feet and guess what no fly issues, now how is that possible?  Now I have them located in an area where horses have been before and there were no complaints, none whatsoever and because they are my horses now all of sudden we have complaints about flies.  Well I have news for you, they are keeping the weeds down that you guys were complaining about, so now the mosquitos won’t be an issue.  We have even mowed the ditch to make it look better. 

I am also told there are complaints about my dog being on the ball field, well he isnt on the ball field.  I take him to the ball games and that is it.  I have had children ask me if they can pet him and I say “no, he bites”.  He doesn’t bite but I prefer not to take any chances.  There have been a lot of children who have approached him and petted him and he didnt bite.  He has not bit anyone in this town.  One again HARASSMENT!

If you have an issue with us living in town and you want us to leave, my house can be purchased in the amount of $90,000 and I would be more then happy to leave.  So maybe the town can come up with that money to get me out of your community, until then DEAL WITH IT!  Or I will by suing this community!
