Eunguk and the Ugly Duckling | 오빠와 미운오리 (Drama Special / 2013.11.29)

I have posted this video more than once, but there is a deeper meaning. Understanding the lives of others. Considering other cultures collectively and indivually. The confluence of love and culture. In my own mind, I see little changing. Take the African American/blacks and we see little change. We have slogans but the grinding poverty and labels on blacks, who dare to go against the status quo. Blacks voting for Trump for example. We let the media report only one side and then observe fractioness.

So what is going on? Many blacks are riddled by gang violence and hold whole communities at bay. Middle-class blacks are sick of it, but if they say anything about driveby shootings, they can be shot as well. Most cultures embrace unity over movements. Yes, black lives matters, in lower-case, but so do all cultures. We become protective of each. We feel the pain and agony as we mix together. We are offended by bigotry but these situations are often exploited by community organizers. To what end... nothing.

Liberals pretend to care, and yet, what is changing?. For the sake of inclusiveness, bigotry thrives as we name streets after MLK, and other tokens, that in the end, feeds no one and perpetuate more divisiveness. Our president have had nearly eight years to effect change,
but still the poverty persists. The police sometimes engage in thoughtless violence against innocent until proven guilty people with kicks to the face, but tribalism wanders on.

Rather than accomplish anything, we see the worst of us, commit black on black crime. Rather than reach out to other cultures and law enforcement, stigmas go from bad to worse. Mr Garner is beat to death for cigarettes and another black person with seizures is literally tased to death. no, we tokenize criminals. We let a preteen be shot (by blacks) and we do not hold these individuals feet to the fire. Black on black crime, and this includes other cultures, not just blacks.

My proposal is to make MLK Day, a day of inclusiveness. Picnics and other events together. People learning from each other and finding ways of acceptance. Understanding 'rednecks', Asians and blacks and instead of belittling whites for that matter, we peel away the walls that separate us.

No need to point at others. Take care of the homeless and mentally-ill. That is a sin of great magnitude. Maybe imagining God in a homeless man and keeping that in mind. God looking at us, seeing our deprativity. Cast away our logs and see ourselves who we really are, and those planks are stepping stones to understanding. People who survive all kinds of trauma, from bad parents to criminals, all who have their own personal tragic stories. Like the girl in the movie. Let us get to consider others. Personal pain and commiseration to that pain, finding solutions to a place to live, food to eat.
