Dear Readers, Above is a song by the #1 White Supremecist band of all time Skrewdriver. I wanted to share with you a bit about not only about what happened in the United States in Wisconsin but a personal story with my run in with people such as this person. http://news.yahoo.com/gunman-opened-fire-wisconsin-sikh-temple-exhorted-other-080012688.html If you read through this story you will find that Wade Michael Page was a White Supremacist and a member of the "Hammerskins Nation" a group of racist skinheads rooted from my home state Texas but spread throughout the U.S. and Canada. When I was 18, almost 20 years ago I was walking the streets of Dallas attending concerts as I usually did every weekend and for no reason at all I was jumped by 5 skinheads from a group called "Confederate Hammerskins" who are members of this group. I did nothing to provoke it I was beaten and kicked in the head several times for one reason I was black, punk rock, and they didnt like me. For a long time after that my pride and my trust in white people was bruised. I tried not to hate them but I also was very cautious. Instead I prayed for God to let me put that hate aside and what I did next was his answer. I shaved my head. Laced up my Doc Martins and went straight into the fray of skinhead to show them I wasn't scared. I put racist laces in my boots and encouraged anyone to take me on. I even dated a S.H.A.R.P. skinhead girl a Sharpie as we call them is a Skinhead Against Racial Prejudice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinheads_Against_Racial_Prejudice for those who don't know original skinheads were black and originated in Jamaica and the white kids adapted the style and the musical tones of reggae and punk and it became two tone and ska in the U.K. and the U.S. I could have become a racist and hate white people because of what a few people did but instead I embraced them, loved them, and reached out to those who hated black people because they stereotyped us. You know us welfare, chicken eating, no working, niggers who are lazy and bring down society. I don't want them dating my daughters, and being anywhere near my family. See that is what I have had to put up with my whole life. Truth is I am an educated, hard working, loving, Christian fellow who is open minded and loves people of all walks of life. I have only dated one black girl my whole life and I have loved women of many nationalities and ethnicities. Rachel was my 4th Canadian girlfriend and not only do I not hate White people but I love Canadians and I love Rachel Myatt more than anything. I want to say this to Rachel and her family. I say this with all the respect in the world. Just because Jessica has adopted black children doesnt excuse the way you treated me. You judged me and you have no idea what those children will be exposed to. If you love them then what stopped you from loving me. I was once an innocent child like them and I grew up in the 80s with so much hate and stereotypes and it seems you judged me for telling you about my troubled life and giving you a window into my soul. I love Rachel and Jonathan with all my heart and even with my mothers passing I still believed and loved you Rachel and the Myatt family. Being different doesnt mean I couldn't love Rachel and Jonathan any less I loved them more and I had to fight harder to love Rachel and show her that she meant the world to me. I hope that both people from Rachel's family and her Church read this blog today. Tomorrow it will be 2yrs since my mother passed and at the time Rachel was my saving grace because I had love. Then she abandoned me. I went through weeks and months of not eating, not speaking, and almost dying because of how Rachel and her family judged me. All I ever wanted to be was loved. I pray for everyone today to be recieved with love and kindness and that anyone that reads this blog especially Rachel will leave a reply or an email to me. I will respond to all. I never mean any harm with this blog all I want Rachel to know is that I love her and Jonathan and everyday she breaks my heart even more. One thing I will never do is hate or put down others even the ones who put me down. I will fight for what I believe in and I will question things but I have never set out to demean Rachel or the New Church just to prove a point. Please end Racism, Bigotry, and Religious Elitism in your life by reaching out to others who may differ in color or belief from you. You may be surprised the result might just result in love. This I know for a fact I live it everyday. God Bless ALL
