Sarah Silverman To Bill Maher : I Want to see Bernie Sanders Debate These Republican Clowns

I personalized it because you you included it in your response to me. I was merely saying I wasn't refering to that part of the other person you commented on. It was for clarification not an attack.

If you don't think their are Christians that want to kill gays youd be wrong.

It has been 150 years since slavery, 52 years since segregation ended, and there is still plenty of racism that exists today. It hasn't been that long. Your parents or grand parents existed in an America that thought of African Americans as lesser human beings. Your great great grandparents existed in a time when America thought owning a human being was ok. It wasnt against the law to beat your wife until 1920. Gays just recently gained the rights that the rest of the US has had for quite some time. Let's not act all high in Mighty because while these rights may have been given to you at birth, and we might take them for granted, but in all reality, these ideas are Brand new...something your ancestors could have never wrapped their heads around.

All these ideals took us entirely too long to adopt. It's never been right, so there is no amount of acceptable time for the views to change. But it does take time. It takes a revolution, and luckily, for us, democracy is more conducive to revolutions. Many of the governments will throw you in jail or kick you out of the country if you speak out against them. I know this first hand because my uncle was forcibly removed from his country for speaking against the government. He can never return to his country and can never see his family again. It is oppressive governments that prevent change. Something the US don't have to deal with (or at least not to such an extreme). So your issue should be with the government which forces the laws on the people, not the people themselves. Just as it isn't our fault that the US government starts a war that we don't agree with.
