Moral Bias
Do as I say, not as I do.
That's moral bias.
When individuals and groups hold another individual or group to a standard that they do not adhere to.
There have been many words created in our language identifying moral bias.
Hypocrite.
Liar.
Flim-flam man.
Carpet Bagger.
Charlatan.
Fraud.
Con artist.
Cheat.
Fake.
Imposter.
Pretender.
Phony.
Bullshitter.
These individuals and groups gain power and influence by exploiting the fears of others.
Society has been plagued by these people since before recorded history.
And obviously, fearmongers existed before the invention of the written word.
Sadly, there's no real way to stop them.
There's no law to pass.
There's no protest march.
No vote will matter.
There has only been one way to counteract liars.
The truth.
Only through the light of truth shown into darkness can a reasonable person make a judgment.
Just today, we learned of Speaker Pelosi's husband being assaulted in his home.
A TV personality incredulous wondered why the person who assaulted Paul Pelosi was in jail with attempted murder charges.
Wasn't it simple assault?
This TV person demonstrated clear moral bias.
If this TV person wanted to be truthful, they would not have conflated you or I being assaulted versus the Speaker of the House's husband being assaulted.
An assault on the Speaker's husband was an indirect assault on our government.
The perpetrator clearly was heard wanting to wait for Nancy to come home.
For what?
A coffee klatch?
The point is the moral bias that we are all assaulted with daily.
Where lying is moral in the pursuit of power.
Of ratings.
Of likes.
America has a cancer at the center of its soul.
And we all know what the cancer is called.
Racism.
Have you ever wondered why racists come down on people because their grass isn't cut?
Why do the people they hate drive an old car?
Why are they on welfare?
Why they don't wear their clothes right?
It's because of their moral bias.
Prejudice and bias will warp a lie into the truth.
That's what we're all up against.
Those who profit from telling the lie and those who feed upon the lie love each other.
The lie they love to consume is there are different races.
The truth is there is only one human race.
The only difference you will find between people is not in their DNA.
The only difference between people lies in their capacity to understand love.
