Uphold equal humanity
It is however about being told to hush by other businesses, bloggers, and critics; to deceive the community and not publicize our moral commitments. Our businesses’ missions focus on product transparency and we vow to support producers with a pledge to quality, sustainable, fair trade products. If you do not like our dutiful position, don’t spend your money in our businesses; you will not cause us to waver. For now is the time to counter deceitfulness and lies with facts that promote equal humanity.
This election has been the catalyst to talk about our country of hate. We have a President that is morally repugnant and lacks the respect of the populous. It is time to ask why your neighbors, friends, colleagues, and adversaries voted for a demagogue; for he is a leader that exploits prejudice and ignorance. Why did you do this?
- Why are we tiptoeing around historical references to Nazism? History has given us both the context and warnings.
- Why do we mask with the benign term “Alt-right”, when “White-supremacist” is more accurate?
- Why is America behind many other countries in its representation of women in politics?
- Why do we blame men for misogyny, when women are an offender as well?
- Why is there ignorance to accept climate change as a scientific fact? It is not an opinion.
- Why our current political gridlock occurred under a Republican Congress's refusal to work with President Obama? Was it racism?
- Why do we not see the actions of others as racist? Superficial politeness has given a platform to fester cultivated hate.
- Finally, why did legions believe that an elitist would lead them to salvation and financial freedom? That answer is simple. It is the nature of a demagogue to exploit the ignorant.
With that said, we will continue to uphold equal humanity for it is in OUR nature.
