Over the course of human history pretty much every group at one time or another has been picked on, oppressed, enslaved or murdered. Living in America today you would not know this considering that public schools tend to present a version of history that paints only certain people as being perpetrators of hate and violence.
Over the course of time some have awakened to the reality that every group is capable of racism, sexism, sexual harassment, religious discrimination and abuse. In today's Sharp Report I examine three cases where troubling, abusive and harassing behavior has been tolerated because the politically correct establishment refused to act.
Usually the behavior is just annoying but in the case of Major Nidal Hasan the unwillingness to acknowledge his radical behavior led to the deaths of 13 soldiers. For years he was allowed to preach his radical views while being promoted at the same time. Do you believe that this would have been tolerated by someone promoting white supremacy?
In a recent study it was determined that sexual harassment claims by men have doubled. Of these cases the majority were male on male. Some were cases where gay men repeatedly harassed straight men, some where women trying to convert gay men and others were straight guys turning the workplace into a Frat house and terrorizing gay men.
Then there is the case of Captain Holly Graf who is under investigation for drag racing another ship and demonstrating a pattern of verbal and physical abuse towards both men and women under her command. Complaints against her behavior go all the way back to the 80's though the Navy, hell bent on advancing a woman ignored the problem.
The point here is that in an attempt to make up for past racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of discrimination some have looked the other way while these same acts are committed by members of these groups. Many of the people being victimized were not around when these past injustices were the norm thus creating unnecessary and completely avoidable animosity between groups today.
There is no erasing the past, there is only moving forward. The first step to accomplishing this is not living in the past or allowing inexcusable behavior because of it.
Stay Sharp!
