I totally agree, LL. There's a reason racism hasn't died . . . people just won't let it. 

But, frankly, as a white person, I'm tired of being the one blamed for it.

and, like myself, rightfully so--since 1964, though, we've been told that it's OUR fault, that WE are somehow responsible/complicit for events that took
place 150+ years ago--utter nonsense on its face--even humphrey(a classic liberal if there ever was one)was opposed to large sections of " the civil
rights act " as written/adopted as he knew it was a blatant effort to enable/legitimize reverse-discrimination--most of the nonsense occurring today is
an outgrowth of that colossally flawed piece of " legislation "--like obamacare, a brazen effort to buy/manipulate black voters--period

and now(as then)with little to no regard for the underlying consequences for " non-black " americans or to our country as a whole

the movement du jour is blm--a " movement " based on a complete fraud(and supported by the media)--brown's supposed " hands up! don't shoot! "
cry(the incident they're claiming responsible for the creation of their movement)as has been proved via many credible sources(including the eyewitnesses
themselves)NEVER TOOK PLACE--instead, brown, in the course or resisting arrest/assaulting the officer in order to take his weapon, was shot and died
and, of course, the grand jury, who DID hear/see all the evidence, rendered their decision in line with the facts and the truth to wit the officer acted in a
lawful manner to defend himself(a conclusion supported by the fbi's investigation as well)

make no mistake, when proponents say " black lives matter " the flipside of that coin is " other lives don't " referring to your life or mine or those of
millions of our countrymen--they have no interest in " equality " at all--they want everything you/me/other americans have and have worked for,
without any effort, without any (even a mote)of justification, simply because, as their actions have demonstrated for years and years, they're
" entitled "

Unfortunately, that is so true. I just do not understand it. I'm not sure I even want to but . . . 

I just don't see how anything we're (society) is doing now or going to do to eradicate it completely. Seems to me, one side won't let it drop and the other has the right to their thoughts and "feelings" on the matter. It's just a miserable catch 22.

 And quite frankly, the more this stuff goes on, the more racism grows rather than die out.

Well, it seems like when you are constantly telling the other side they couldn't possibly understand under any circumstance you're not really wanting people to understand. I was on FB the other day and this lady posted that if her son was killed by the police you'd better believe she'd go on a rampage killing and destroying everything in her way. I ended up agreeing to disagree because I said nothing made destroying other people's property right.

FORNEY, Texas (KLTV) - An East Texas family is not happy about the ‘brand changing’ of a popular pancake syrup: Aunt Jemima.

The iconic “Aunt Jemima” has long-standing ties with the city of Hawkins, and a goodwill ambassador named “Lillian Richard.”

Living in Forney, Vera Harris is the family historian for the Richard family of Hawkins, and could hardly believe a big part of their family legacy, the “Aunt Jemima” brand, was about to be erased from supermarket shelves.

“A lot of people want it removed. We want the world to know that our cousin Lillian was one of the Aunt Jemima’s and she made an honest living. We would ask that you reconsider just wiping all that away. There wasn’t a lot of jobs, especially for black women back in that time. She was discovered by Quaker Oats to be their brand person,” Harris said.

Lillian Richard became a goodwill ambassador for Quaker Oats, and for decades, portrayed Aunt Jemima all over Texas.

“She made an honest living out of it for a number of years. She toured around Texas,” Harris said.

In the Fouke community just outside Hawkins is a historic marker dedicated to Lillian Richard, who is recognized as one of several women who portrayed Aunt Jemima.


And the family is proud of what she did.

“She was considered a hero in Hawkins, and we are proud of that. We do not want that history erased,” Harris said.

Harris said her family feels that activism has gone too far.

“I wish we would take a breath and not just get rid of everything. because good or bad, it is our history. Removing that wipes away a part of me. A part of each of us. We are proud of our cousin,” Harris said.

Lillian Richard died in 1956 after working 23 years for the Quaker Oats company.

Harris said she and the Richards family are also against the renaming of military bases because many of their relatives are veterans.

I spoke with a number of our black customers at the store over the last couple of weeks and there isn't one of them supporting this movement.

The sad thing is, I believe so many in the black community really don't have a clue why all this is going on other than they want to be a part of it. When one in the community can't sit and have a logical, thoughtful, reasonable discussion as to the why, what, where and when, it speaks volumes. When anyone, no matter the color, resorts to insults and name calling, it tells me they're not well versed on the topic at hand and are embarrassed so they resort to denigration of others.

BTW why do bi-racial people usually call themselves black? If there is so much "white privilege" why arent' they claiming that? I know a lot of people who have a black parent and a white parent, but they call themselves black and never see them say they are white. Why not?

So, the rioters and looters are not responsible for their actions but WE are responsible for things that other people did 200 yrs ago?

Trump needs to win, Republicans need to keep their senate seats and Democrats need to be voted out of the house this election

What will happen is we will move closer to a one world order. So whomever will make that happen, will be elected.

Yes. I believe it will be Trump.

I don't see him doing it intentionally, but manipulated into it and not seeing it until it's too late.

I saw a post a week or so ago that said "I'm no longer looking for signs, I'm listening for trumpets."

Yes, that's human trafficking. All races do that. And every country.

 So, with that you are acknowledging that all races have suffered as well, not just African Americans?

 I acknowledge that you are missing the point.

---

 Then, please, make your point glaringly obvious!

Because what I see is your doing everything you can to make it two separate things, when it's just the same thing, only not as divisive as the liberals need it to be to keep their narrative going.

 Anyone seen Tig around? Cause I'm still really curious what her point is.

Left? Left the board?

I hope she comes back

She's lurking. Meh. Good riddance.

She was horrible on another board and played nice here until recently. She let her true blue show through.

Suggest we do not bash each other.
