Stand Strong Against Hate

From the news Nov. 12, 2008:

"A jury awarded $2.5 million in damages on Friday to a Kentucky teenager who was severely beaten by members of a Ku Klux Klan group because they mistakenly thought he was an illegal Latino immigrant, the Southern Poverty Law Center said."

Join people across the nation who are standing strong against the hate, racism, and intolerance infecting our communities, schools and political debate.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, tracks and exposes the activities of hate groups in the United States and uses innovative legal strategies to put them out of business.

    Ni hao.  I agree.  An injustice to any is an injustice to all, "we, the people...", can't allow it  :)   For e.g., the fundamental thing taught by Jesus was destruction and murder are of no profit or pleasure, something almost all supposed Christians are anti-thetically opposed to, as is your gov't; and a gleaning from Native American teaching, et al, all life are needed threads in the fabric of life.  Put your shadow behind you, give the gift that keeps on giving, a hand to a sister and/or brother   :)

    I'm on the map. It was actually pretty scary.
    If you don't stand against it, are you really standing for it? Something to think about.
