Kenneth Cannon is wrong. There is not only one race, there are many, and that is the best part about this world. There are people of diverse views and nationalities everywhere. Saying we are all the same and deserve the same treatment is not going to help anything, because it is not true. The actions of ‘Over the Hill’ were wrong, but instead of being ignorant and condemning them and whoever they associate with, we should take this opportunity to help each other learn. Instead of saying lynching is wrong, we should look at the history of lynching and understand it. It’s America’s history. Simply because we do not talk about it does not mean it never happened.

I challenge any of these ‘champions’ of diversity, these minority communities, to talk about my race and religion. What can you say about Judaism? Do you know the significance of the two major holidays that just passed and the one that is currently happening? Go ahead and make a Holocaust joke. I will laugh. I won’t tell you it’s wrong and never to mention the Holocaust again. Denying it happened won’t help the matter. I will explain the situation and invite you into a discussion about it so that we may both benefit from learning each other’s viewpoints. I’ve done that before and will do it again.

Wanting expulsion and cancellation of HillTV is only burying the problem of segregation so that it may come back in greater force in the future.
