Gegen die Alternative für Deutschland

Die einen wollen Menschen helfen und nicht hängen lassen. Die anderen #AfD interessieren sich nicht für Menschen!
"Nur zwei AfD-MdBs haben für Beschluss nach Art 115 GG gestimmt. Der war aber Voraussetzung für Hilfen an kleine Betriebe bis 10 Beschäftigte. Jeder, der in solchen Betrieben arbeitet und schon mal AfD gewählt hat, sollte wissen: Die waren heute bereit, Euch hängen zu lassen."

[This] is one of my favorite pictures. Here is a Georgia State Trooper in riot gear at a KKK protest in a north Georgia city back in the 80s. The Trooper is black. Standing in front of him and touching his shield is a curious little boy dressed in a Klan hood and robe. I have stared at this picture and wondered what must have been going through that Trooper’s mind. Before the Trooper is an innocent child who is being taught to hate him because of the color of his skin.

The child doesn’t understand what he is being taught, and at this point he doesn’t seem to care.

In this picture I see innocence mixed with hate, the irony of a black man protecting the right of white people to assemble in protest against him, temperance in the face of ignorance, and hope that racism can be broken because this young boy may remember that a black man smiled at him once and he didn’t seem so bad after all.
