"And so, emancipation for the negro was really freedom to hunger. It was freedom to the winds and rains of heaven. It was freedom without food to eat or land to cultivate, and, therefore, it was freedom and famine at the same time. And when white Americans tell the negro to lift himself by his own bootstraps, they don't own, they don't look over the legacy of slavery and segregation. I believe we ought to do all we can and seek to lift ourselves by our own bootstraps. But it's a cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps. And many negros by the thousands and millions have been left bootless as a result of all of these years of oppression and as a result of a society that deliberately made his color a stigma and something worthless and degrading." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The whole idea of "Freedom" in a world of 8 billion people all in competition.

That's exactly what went on in Nazi Germany.

Who teaches #AutismMorality ?

"Severely mentally and physically disabled people, as well as those perceived to have disabilities, were targeted because of Nazi beliefs that disabled people were a burden both to society and to the state. From 1939 to 1941 the Nazis carried out a programme of ‘euthanasia’, known as the T4 programme. The name T4 is an abbreviation of Tiergartenstrasse 4, the address from which the programme was coordinated." #FWakeT4

People treated "as a joke"

My whole life from as young an age as I can recall, mocking and "making fun of" mentally disabled people has been encouraged by parents / adults /leaders in society. I was born in 1969 in Georgia. Family from Ohio, started grade school in Indiana.

Making fun of ugly people, "make a joke out of" ugly people, fat people, mentally disabled people, sexual differences, calling men "pussy" and praising ignorance, stupidity, anti-intellectual, anti-understanding, anti-comprehension, anti-goodness.

I have lived in South America (Arica, Chile) - in North Africa (Algeria), Middle East (Jordan), Indonesia, Malaysia in my adulthood and I have witnessed people mock and "make a joke of" those that are poor, mentally disabled, immgrants, outsiders, all over.

I think it is a big part of #OutGroupHate

I have come to the conclusion that the hate equations Dr. Martin Luther King Jr shared in February 1954 are true. No matter the geography or time period, hate is always bad and should be seen as something to leave behind in history and not carried forward.

I think "turning people into a joke" is a form of hate and dehumanization, encouraged at the youngest age.
