Friends FB status.. racist?? um ya..

ChefBrit · January 2010

WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: Press 1 for English. Press 2 to disconnect until you learn to speak English. And remember, the only two defining forces that have ever offered to die for you, JESUS CHRIST and the AMERICAN SOLDIER. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom. If you agree... copy and paste in your status about an hour ago ?

My comment... strong believers in Jesus Christ should also be believers in things such as tolerance, acceptance, and not being judgmental.. im sorry, this is not an attack on you D but this status that a lot of people are putting up screams of racism and intolerance..

am i wrong here.. i think this is just lame... ya yay USA yay soldiers (my bro left for Afghanistan today), but really..?? ugh..

Well..yeah. Um.

Go America?

There is no national language in the US. It's what makes America so diverse. I wouldn't want everyone to lose their cultural identity. This new wave of neo-conservatism over the past couple of years is making my skin crawl.

Soldiers are fighting and dying for your freedom of speech and religion. Not everyone in America is Christian nor should they feel ostracized because they aren't.

wow. i would never put that in my status and I dont think you were wrong. I do see where its coming from, but come on, that is not something you post on a public place like fb. I am pretty sure Jesus loves everyone the same, it doesnt matter what language you speak.

Totally agree! I so tired of people thinking that this country is only a Christian nation, and using religion to hide behind to justify their hate.
