MUSEUM OF TOLERANCE
In case you noticed (or even if you didn't) I haven't made a post here since early this morning. That is because I was at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles today. Despite the somewhat odd name, it actually was an interesting experience.
"Isn't tolerance just another word for leftist propaganda?"-Michael Savage (from a commercial they run on AM 1340 The Game in Santa Barbara, CA).
Umm...
While I was going through the exhibits on hatred towards homosexuals, African-Americans, Jews, Muslims, and a few other groups, I couldn't help but think about different professional athletes that should've been going on the tour with me, and which exhibits they would've enjoyed the most...
Todd Jones (the part about irrational hatred towards homosexuals)
Reggie White (see Todd Jones)
Fuzzy Zoeller (the Civil Rights portion of the tour)
John Rocker (pick an exhibit)
On a more serious note, it's interesting for me to think what the country was like as little as forty years ago. To see how far the United States and world has come since then is quite remarkable, although it still can be better. Whenever we are all confronted with difficult tasks where no solution seems to be in sight, I think it is inspiring to look back at how relations between blacks and whites in America was and where it is today.
