Of the prejudice and of the discrimination.

About the demonstration of impotence of the prejudice and of the discrimination




Stupider than the prejudices. Any type and in any situation.
They simply denote, not only the ignorance as well as the incapacity of adapting to the conviviality of the differences.
The pré-concept, in her magnitude, is responsible for the wars, for the hunger and for the poverty of the most fragile.
Through the History, we had in all of the moments of this, indelible marks and deep scars caused by the man's action against the man, under the simple and absurdity argument that if it is unable to accept the coexistence with whom doesn't mirror the ruler's image or of the, theoretically, stronger.
Usually who has prejudices demonstrates a character of no acceptance of itself own, transferred for the other the sensations of his/her own insignificance and low esteem.
It is classic the anger of the homosexual repressed against the assumed homosexual, in an attitude of envy and of impotence before the repressed sexual option.
The fact of not being able to, for varied causes, to assume the sexual option that, in fact it attracts himbut, for that reason, he/ becomes repulsive; he makes to act him violently against those that got win the fears regarding that.
Historically, in our colonization, the own Catholic Church stimulated the prejudices, obsequious that it was to the Cut and the powerful ones, forgiving and even stimulating them you massacre indigenous and the actions against the blacks and brown.
The own Church, in the Crusades, took terror to who didn't share of their ideas, excuse used by the powerful ones thirsty in dominating areas belonging to the Ottomans. On behalf of peaceful Christ, if they washed in the blood of the Moors.
The "pleased" sensation created by the submission of the weakest and of the defenseless ones, it generates in many of us, what can one to say to Can Absolute, what does with that the cruellest and absurd actions are had as "normal."
Massacre them in Rwanda and Burundi that she accomplished there are some years, under the passive eyes of the civilized countries, they demonstrate it as the man still persists in the same mistakes before. The tragic situation in Middle East between Palestinian and Jews and among Shiite and Sunnite also demonstrate that.
The, theoretically, more civilized of the nations, that is proud of his/her democracy, he/she has us given example that "nothing changed."
While the talibãs were useful, the Afghan ones suffered of the whole luck of sufferings and absurdities, besides with crimes against the own Universal Culture, as the destruction of a historical statue of Buddha, incrusted in a mountain. It was enough that, for the Americans, those passed to not to be more of so much usefulness so that the before defenders of that radical group started to be their executioners.
The trap created by the own American imperialists in Iraq did with that they entered in a confusion that won't have final peaceful.
The mistakes yesterday repeat today, in an absurd continuous motorcycle and without connection.
Another aspect of the prejudices is the deep association of the economical factors with the other parameters.
Mainly in Brazil, where the "country image without prejudice" is denied to every moment.
One of the main accusations against the President, with repeated frivolity for some sections of the country, besides political, it is the fact of not having university.
The same group if it omits against the vice-president, also without course academical, but rich.
Our politicians' great part doesn't have plenty culture for they be had as intellectuals, some have faith that the simple fact of they have learned more than a language means intellectual capacity.
I know a boy's history that, without having studied, there are many years, he left astonished all the doctors of hisr time.
Among other characters, as the amazing it Colors Coralline, great semiliterate poetess, admired by many, besides on the part of those that criticize our president for the fact of not having concluded an university.
Another aspect that I believe to be important, beyond of that it is the inherent prejudice against the Northeastern people, just like we see in Italy against the Sicilians and Calabrian, of that I can speak to knowledge of cause, grandson that I belong to a Calabrian.
When we see one of the largest political authorities of our country, ruler for eight years to affirm that "poor cannot govern", we have the same aspect of prejudices.
In the same way when another politician affirms that Lula is "always traveling", forgetting about the predecessor "Traveling Henrique Cardoso", it sends us to the prejudice.
Regarding the use of alcoholic drink, nor do I need to say - is drunkard very different from whiskey drinker or of who he does drink wines, mainly imported wines, is it called by chance of alcoholic?
All these aspects converge for the prejudice.
Another thing that should be seen is the discrimination, linked action to the prejudice and á segregation, when it is done in a continuous and deeper way.
When did I mention the Catholic Church and the American North Empire, how supporting and main actors of stages of the history where the prejudice and the discrimination if they turned executioners of the Humanity, I ask to what extent the nazi-fascism was less or crueller than those actions?
It is delicate if he plays in that subject, starting from the moment in that the History is made by the winners, fitting to those defeated the obligations of the mistakes.
To what extent didn't the image of the "wandering Jew" contribute to the criminal action of the Nazism?
Up to where it is going the difference among Bush's actions regarding the Arab people, on behalf of a "freedom", and the actions of the Spaniards and Portuguese regarding the American Latin Indians?
Up to where it is going a "semi-literate person's" inefficiency Garrincha and the one of Lula?
We have the vision of the discrimination and of the prejudice as, much more economical and social than for skin color, religion, race or cultural and/or education.
The ones that act under that aegis, they demonstrate the moral fragility of who doesn't have capacity to discern qualities and defects.
They present, beforehand, a deformed opinion on what doesn't know, what denotes character absence and of wisdom.
The one that discriminate are the same ones that you/they flatter the ones that, economical or socially they are in an apprenticeship seemingly superior.
Being worthy of be looked, under a Christian optics, with the same compassion that Christ observed their executioners.
And in an ethical optics, as the true vultures of the history, unable of be reference for any thing, to not to be of the incompetence of they act as you are civilized...
