    • @whimsysmith2835
      @whimsysmith2835 3 года назад +12

      Your response is slander. What is more, it is an incoherent, thoughtless response. For how are the words "Hope isn't something we ask of others it's something we have to demand of ourselves" a racist speech? What race does "hope" identify with? The words state that you cannot ask others to make you feel hope any more then you can ask others to make you feel angry. You have to feel it yourself. There is a lot of empowerment in that realization, that WE have hope as long as we kindle it in our own hearts. That is a powerful message that can inspire a lot of people when we NEED hope. There is nothing in those words that is racist. Maybe you need to close your eyes and listen to the words and stop focusing on what you think the person's intentions are when she says those words. Because your instant rejection of her words suggest your "racism" comment is pure projection. And we can choose to put hope into our hearts instant of racism. You can choose this too, hope is much healthier for your heart then the hate you just displayed. It feels nicer too, to have hope instead of hate.
      If you truly feel that there was an element of racism in her speech please feel free to quote that line to me and explain how you view it as racist. Aren't you bored with making thoughtless comments? Try actually engaging with me in a debate, and prove you are brighter then your first response indicates.
