Problem in this country and society

We have a problem that is not just in this country but in society as a whole. The problem comes from every individual regardless of your race, sex or sexuality. That problem is that we can not accept responsibility for our own inactions. That is far easier to blame someone else for the problems that we go through in life that own up that we are the problem. Let me explain myself.
Everyone has problems, everyone has issues, and everyone likes to blame. I sit here day after day listening to people say we have no jobs in this country, that is because of the Mexicans. I didn't get hired for this job, that employer must be racist. I can't worship the way I want, that is because of the gays. I can't carry guns anywhere I want, that is because of the liberals and Obama. The planet is being destroyed, that is because of my parents. I get harassed when I walk to the store, that is because I am black.
Let me explain something to you there is a problem in this country and that is we like to play these little cards. We like to play the race card, or the sex card, or the sexuality card when in truth is the problem is with us. It is not anyone's fault but your own.  Now I will give you that there are some instances where that can be said but not as much as everyone seems to do it.
In the United States when we used to be pissed about something we would get out and protest. We would make our voices heard. We would get out in the streets. Damn the wars, damn the injustice, make a change, make a difference. Now we would rather complain than get off our couches.

There is no jobs because of the Mexicans. When was the last time you looked for a job? A month ago? Two months? A year? Funny how there is no jobs but there are people out there that are holding down two or three jobs. How did they get hired if there are no jobs?

I didn't get the job because that dude is racist? Did you think you might not be qualified or that someone is better qualified than you? Did you think of how you were dressed? Did you think of how you talked? Did you answer the questions like you have an intelligence or did you uh huh your way through the interview?

I can't worship the way I want because of the gays? Do you have or work for a business that is open to the public? Does your beliefs deny someone access to something that you would grant to someone else?

I can't carry guns anywhere I want, that is because of Obama and liberals? Do you feel afraid that you will be attacked everywhere you go? Do you think it is not safe anywhere that you can't go to a grocery store. your kid's school without people jumping out of the bushes? Do you feel that gun has to be locked and loaded really to kill people at a moment's notice?

This planet is being destroyed and it is our parent's fault. Do you buy products that are contained in plastic? Do you use plastic grocery bags? Do you buy products that have lots of chemicals? Do you turn off a light in the house when you exit the room?

I get harassed when I walk to the store because I am black? Do you vote for politicians that will make laws so you won't be harassed? Do you talk to your Congressman? Do you report people that harass you?

The point that I am making is that we can change things in this country to make it better for everyone but instead we like to play the blame game. If you sitting around complaining about a problem but never try to fix the problem then you don't have the right to complain. If you don't put forth a action then your not going to get a reaction. Get out of the house, off your phones, Go vote, protest, show people that you want stuff to be different. Don't just sit around waiting for the few to do the job for you. You won't get anywhere. If something that you think is an injustice that has happened to you ask yourself what it was about yourself first that caused that to happen. We learn it in school. Who, what, when, where, how, and why. Ask yourself those questions before you lay the blame on others people's feet. This country is the land of opportunity where you work hard and you will get what you want not the land of give me stuff because I think I deserve it.
