 Hi, this is Mitch Mitchell. I wanted to do a quick video because of what happened Friday night in Paris, France As we know by now some of these ISIS terrorists decided to basically attack Paris, France There were suicide bombers. There were some shooters and By my count right now because I'm not exactly sure where we're at. They said it's about 128 people killed and Our country loves to find out how many Americans and I guess it's three Americans who were killed during the thing the French president barely got out You know His life was pretty much close to in danger as a matter of fact if timing had been right Supposedly they would have probably got him as well. So, you know, we have to deal with these acts of terrorism and You know, there's not really a safe place as long as people are willing to give up their lives They're just isn't so we can't go around being scared. We can be careful We need to be alert, but we can't just give up our lives and not leave the house and go anywhere I mean they can strike anywhere If people aren't paying attention because there's a lot of people who do pay attention and a lot of these people get caught I can't believe how many get caught. I mean when you look at our country. We haven't had a real Terrible terrorist act since 2001. Yeah We've had a couple of people who've decided to go somewhere and shoot up a few places and whatever But they haven't really killed anyone. We haven't had a suicide bomber We haven't had anything really big like what happened here in Paris but the reason I decided that I wanted to kind of do this video is because we got this thing about race and religion and I've never necessarily thought about them as Having a symbiosis, but they do Because a couple of things came out after or during this Paris thing that I thought was Interesting and intriguing and I really just kind of wanted to address it for instance One of the things that started coming out was all this thing against religion in general now I'm one of those people who's not religious. I'm not religious at all Matter of fact, I did a previous video I think a couple years ago where I was talking about this subject and I was saying how there's these people who believe in their religion to the point that their actions are Hypocrisy their beliefs are hypocrisy across the board with everything else that they'll seem compatible and I said that I don't trust religion, but at the same time I know that religion has helped a lot of people and I'm not sure that you can call this ISIS thing really a religious Thing, you know, yeah, these guys are fanatics, but I'm not necessarily sure it's about religion because Islam is not about that You know the Koran actually prohibits what these guys are doing But you know to sit there and blame religion for this type of thing I'm not so sure now It's true that religion has been used to do some horrible things in this country Religion was used against the Jews in Germany religion was used for the Crusades Religion was used for slavery Religion was used to try to annihilate the Native Americans and other countries and all this other kind of stuff So yes religion is used For cults, but I'm not necessarily sure that these guys here are really about religion. I just don't I see a big hypocrisy for these guys here But that was one of the things is all these rants came out about religion at the time And I thought that was kind of time insensitive, but the other thing was race now This is very interesting because you know in America. We do pick on the French a lot. Just admit it We do but when this thing happened Oh my goodness all the things came out about France and people changed their their images on Facebook to reflect that we're with France But there have been some other terrorists Attacks around the world that have not engendered anything from us almost anything India has been under constant terrorist attacks Nigeria and a lot of the African countries they've got their own terrorist groups that are doing some of the worst stuff You could ever think about Saudi Arabia, okay. I got trouble with the Saudi Arabian government. I'll just I'll just get that out of the way But they've been attacked by a whole lot of terrorists and we don't have any You know, I don't want to say we don't care But it doesn't seem to mean as much to us as it does for what happened in France And so people are saying that this is because it's a racial thing And I'm not necessarily going to say that it's not I don't buy You know, I I really don't want to go there what I'm going to say instead is that United States history has had a longer relationship with France and a stronger relationship with France Then it does all these other countries. It doesn't make what happens everywhere else worse and you know any better or any worse it just is and You know, we get to this point where Sometimes we in America get ourselves numb to certain things that happen elsewhere because they're not happening here But I'm betting there's a heck of a lot more people in America who have visited France specifically Paris that have visited places in Africa or Saudi Arabia and maybe that's what they're feeling You know, I pretty much feel the same way when I hear about all of these things. I want the terrorists gone I want them dead. I don't care. I don't want them in prison. I don't want to hear what their reasoning is I just want a gun but Unless someone shows up at my door or I'm out somewhere and they show up there. I Don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. What do you do? You can't go on a night, you know bomb every city in Saudi Arabia You can't do that you can't bomb every city in every African country because of that. You can't do that Syria, I don't I don't know what to do. What I do know is that in this particular instance blaming it on Religion the act and then trying to compare What happened there to what happens in other countries and saying that it's not Seeing the same way here because of race Boy, that's a tough one. I you know what and I'm the guy who will call out you y'all know If you've watched any of my other videos where I talk about this subject You know that the things that irk me most are the isms racism sexism ageism any of those things irk me to death But in this particular instance, I'm not so sure But because I'm not so sure I'm not saying definitively I do believe that you can't really address anything unless you have a conversation about it We can't yell at each other. So I'd like to know if anyone wants to give an opinion on this Please give me an opinion on it. Let me know what you think And of course keep it nice because it's not courteous or whatever. Y'all know how block You know how to lead. I don't care my channel. There you go so let me know what you you think about this religion race or Is it just the kind of thing that like I said? Maybe we feel a little more empathetic in this time period because this pairs maybe and I'm saying we although me I see them all the same But you know, I'm American. So I'm just saying we let me know your thoughts. I'm Mitch Mitchell Next time let's hopefully hope we'll get back to something a little more nice. Y'all take care
