ARYANS: Invest in diversity

In regard to the Aryan Freedom Network, the first thing is using the word “white.” There are very few humans that are white, which are called albino. All humans are a variety of shades from tan to dark brown and sometimes nearing black.

God likes variety and humans of all types and different shades of skin color. God taught us to love one another and not hate people because of the way they appear. In my past, in law enforcement, we came in contact with people of many races, many cultures, both good people and people who committed crimes.

In the Commencement Address at American University, Washington D.C., June 10, 1963, President John F. Kennedy stated, “And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.”

Like Martin Luther King stated in his Aug. 28, 1963, speech, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Many people are the other way and only look at appearance and not character.

Why do these “Aryan” people think they are better than everyone else? They said they do not hate, but the Aryan Nation does hate. Some of them go to churches and claim to be Christian, but true Christians read and use the Bible and try to live by it. The Bible teaches us to love one another.

I agree with Director Ibrahim Hooper because he is not advocating hate, but security in our state. Most people want to live in peace.
