Ignorance.

I know that blogging about politics is a major no-no. And I do not even participate in any form of commentary about politics. Furthermore, what I'm about to show you is not even entirely related to me, in any sense, a Singaporean who just happens to love reading about other people's thoughts.

I was on the bus today when I saw Channel News Asia's reporting of Oprah's support for Obama, a potential "presidential hopeful" (as quoted from aol. news) in the upcoming elections 2007. Anyway, since I have no political views or knowledge of what's going on, my anger is actually directed towards the commentaries that people have made on aol's news article.

















First of all, I can't stand racism. Secondly, although I am a Christian, I condone people stereotyping other faiths or religions. I feel that such commentors will only spark hatred and war even more. And thirdly, certain commentors need to get their facts right - (note BlueRdgldy's comments) and just Wiki for Obama.

Living in Singapore has taught me to love everyone of every ethnicity and religion. Although my view still stands on believing in the one God that has brought me through thick and thin, and blessed me with many miracles, I just pray that many more would see the love that runs through from Him and soften their hearts.

Angered, I am. Forgiving, I will be.
