Why Would Anyone Hate America

Why Would Anyone Hate America

The vast majority of Americans love America. However, there are quite a few Americans who hate America. This is confusing to me. Do we have pockets of racial injustice - absolutely. Do we have people who think the white race is the only race that should exist in America - sadly yes. Do we have a love hate relationship with Politicians - you bet-um. Do we believe there is a lot of corruption in America - we do because there is.

However, even if you hate the things I mentioned above, why hate America. We are the good guys.  We fight for freedom around the world. We put our lives at risk to protect us while trying to make the world a better place. We give money and time to help people who are oppressed or who have lost everything in a war or a storm. We have a constitution that gives rights to everyone. The fact that some people don't live up to the letter of the constitution is not a reason to hate America. 

I've traveled to many places in this world and with all its faults, I will always choose to live in America. We might believe that poor Americans probably hate America. That is far from the truth. Many of the people in the military, fighting for our wonderful country, come from very poor backgrounds. I don't see the KKK going into the military to fight for American values.

The poor has little, but they have food to eat, air to breathe and shelter in America. That can't be said for many, many places outside of America. They get their strength from family, friends and their faith. I know this because I grew up very poor and loved America. I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for America.

Why would North Korea hate America? Do they really believe we want to take over their broken down country? Why would they want to start a fight with America? My only answer is that they're bullies who only can feel good about themselves if they puff themselves up so everyone will notice. If given the choice I'm sure the people (not the leadership) would rather be living in America than North Korea.

Why would Iran, ISIS, etc. etc. hate America? I guess they think we are the bullies because sometimes we act like bullies. However, if they created an American way of life for their people, they would be better off than they are now. You might say: "they don't want to live like Americans." I say: "is your way of life working out for you and your people?" Do they really believe that their only choice is to hate America and threaten war - how sad - how sad.

The bottom line for me is that with all its flaws:

Nobody Should Hate America
