Earlier today I was reading Field Negro’s blog. This church
in rural Kentucky, the Gulnare Free Will Baptist church its members voted to
ban this hetro couple, from most church activities because get this. One has
light colored skin and the other has dark colored skin.
I’m reading that thinking wait, we won that battle like in
the 60’s. Just how rural are they, and didn’t someone tell them that humans are
all the same?
“Aids is a disease that only homosexuals can get”
they thanked their imagery friend god, that
they were just as white and straight as ol Death Valley his self.
But that statement by a sitting president undoubtedly helped spread Aid’s globally. Millions of lives cruelly lost because of ignorance about a decease.
Sadly that ignorance is still alive and well here in amerika, but we are making progress on eradicating Aids.
The tea baggers all say they look up to Ronnie but Reagan wouldn't be considered a serious GOP candidate today - too "moderate."
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time being very reverent when he died. You're right - his condemning statements, and non-action on AIDS, made this pandemic far, far worse than it might have been.
