(1919)
You just can’t be a German citizen and praise the technological advances of Hitler during the Nazi regime.
You also can’t be a big, fat guy like me and think you’re going to help someone suffering from anorexia.
Also ill-advised is to be a Japanese-American commemorating the great victory of your people on December 7th, 1941, at Pearl Harbor.
May I suggest that you NOT live amongst the American Indians and open up a business selling t-shirts that read, “Trail of Tears: Come on! Get Over It!”
Today is not a very good day to be a rapper insisting that the lyrics may SOUND violent, but they’re not actually intended for gangster activity, while simultaneously trying to honor the memory of Lil Snupe.
Even if you’re living in Mexico and have great national pride, it is probably still tacky to discuss how you really “stomped ’em at the Alamo.”
Just a hint to Paula Deen: you might refrain from admitting, with your thick southern accent, that you have used derogatory racial slurs when referring to a population which is growing in numbers, influence and strength.
Here’s a clue about an investment to avoid: don’t put your money into the John Wilkes Booth Theater, even if you believe he was a great actor.
Also wise would be to avoid opening a casino in the Black Hills called Custer’s Last Casino.
If you were a minister living in Massachusetts, you might not want to launch any anti-witch campaign.
Even if it was ordained by the Pope, giving a shout-out to the Crusades is very similar to praising Osama bin Laden for his aiming of aircraft.
And quite bluntly, displaying a confederate flag while insisting that you’re merely tipping your hat to the heritage of the south does not address the sting of four hundred years of bigotry and abuse.
There are things you just can’t do because they’ve been tainted by the actions of those who came before you. You can feel free to scream about your liberty, but don’t forget: with liberty MUST come justice.
And justice demands we consider someone besides ourselves … while pursuing our individuality.
