Is America a Sheep or a Goat?
When the Son of Man comes in his glory…all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats…Then the king will say to those at his right hand, “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” –Matthew 25:31-36

Other forms of racism are more subtle, technical, and very polite. Although they may be wrapped up in new euphemisms and better etiquette, as Frederick Douglass warned, it’s still the same old snake. So, inspired by the movie Selma’s timely jogging of our collective memory about where we have come from against all odds, I hope a critical mass of citizens will rev up our engines of courage and will today and persistently and strategically combat the fierce head winds of poverty, racism, and education and economic inequality and greed that threaten to undo the progress of the last 50 years. Let’s stay true to the course Dr. King set for us and take up his last campaign to end poverty in America, beginning with our children, especially those of color, whose minds, bodies and spirits are being formed today. They cannot wait.

But unfortunately the us v them way of thinking still exists. More and more, the divisions in the world, as well as our own country seem to be widening. The haves seem quite content to not only hang on to their wealth, but they also seem obsessed with the idea of making the have nots, poorer
There's no more, working together, instead we're headed to a every man for himself way of thinking. The rich, have adopted the idea that certain people because of their skin color, language, etc., were born, not only to be poor, but to stay poor. We are being beaten down to accept what they give us, while they continue to buy off politicians. In order to fight back, both Democrats and Republicans have to agree that 1st - there's a problem; 2nd - who the enemies are; 3rd - join together, to elect candidates that truly represent the working class and the poor. Unfortunately, I don't see none of those things ever happening.
