WE NEED TO STOP ABSOLVING THE HORRIFIC HARM THAT HAS BEEN METED OUT TO NON EUROPEAN PEOPLE: EUROPEANS WHO PERPETRATED HORRIFIC HARMS ON NON EUROPEANS ARE NO MORE DEMONS THAN THEIR VICTIMS ARE ANGELS, BUT THE HORRORS MUST BE ACKNOWLEDGED By William Thorpe

I was prompted to say this after listening to an NPR interview on 6/2/2026, where the interviewed author is selling a book and one of the characters is a 9 year old girl told by her car wreck injured step-dad, that for purposes of seeking help, there are good people who will help, which is contrary to the stranger danger caution she's been raised on. So the NPR interviewer, Mary Louise Kelly asked the writer if she was raised with the same stranger danger caution, to which she replied not really because the Catholic Nuns who tutored her for 12 years instilled in her of the goodness of people or humanity. This is what caused me to write this. The question isn't whether people and humanity are good, of course we are or we'd have exterminated ourselves. The issue however is harm has been done on the face of the Earth. Horrific, cataclysmic and annihilative harm has been witnessed on human beings and the Catholic Church is no innocent bystander, but has been a grand architect. Catholic Nuns have visited extraordinary harm on girls entrusted to them some voluntarily others not. What I'd have expected the being interviewed author to have displayed, is for once have the damn presence of mind to, yes speak of your specific and particular experience, while qualifying it with the recognition, that Nuns, yes Catholic Nuns have also participated in and exacted extreme and unconscionable horrors on the human condition, because without acknowledgement qualifiers all that we are will always be clothed in hypocrisy. We just recently witnessed a Pope being challenged on Christian Doctrine by Political actors who had the temerity to "question", his Speech and its spectacle was only possible because as an Institution, the Church and not just Catholicism, but The Church and in extension all Religious Speech is incapable of asserting any "standing" on critique of anything. We see Buddhist in Myanmar doing what, pursuing the ultimate of possessiveness under their faith of dispossession. Or how about the Hindus in India and their dabble with Nationalism, as if its Hindu character will reach a unique place unlike all other forays into Nationalism. Or the various Islamic Impositions. Who can ignore the current Zionist Speech and its bastardized "White-Evangelical" antics aptly captured by, If I'm to quote Bob Marley in his song Midnight Ravers," their mind is filled with confusion".When we talk about the inability to recognize harms to non-Europeans, Tony Perkins had one of the typical hypocritical "White Evangelicals" on his show and the topic was about the mutilation of kids under the transgender logic and as horrific as that entire phenomena is for the Parents in particular. The hypocrite couldn't help himself and he had to say this and I paraphrase that when historians record Americas history, this transgender issue will be the darkest stain on the Nation. And I'm like say what? This is coming from a White-Evangelical, one who claims to adhere to Christ teachings and the darkest stain on America is transgenderism? So what happened to the 400 years of chattel enslavement of Black People and the dehumanization of Jim Crow segregation and the continuing labor of the "White-Evangelical" to deny its systemic impact on all that is the Black American experience? That's not a dark stain? The hundreds of thousands who died, some to continue the practice of slavery, the righteous who died in its opposition. Not to even get all into the descendants of the released from slavery, still subjected to the life stunting effects of Racism and transgenderism is the blight?
