I "get it", Asclepias, I really do and I don't blame you for being defensive because you have every right to be. I am also disappointed in the race baiters here, many of whom are damn fine posters with a lot of information to share but they have a BIG time blind spot when it comes to racial issues and I would have thought that they had been raised better. The facts speak for themselves and all they have to do is do a little research through history and do the proper vetting of links that have no agenda. Things were like they were back then and it's a despicable blot on this country regardless of whether there was manipulation or not.... and while things have improved a lot...there is still inequality that needs to be addressed.
What I am trying to say is that as hard as it might be? Rise above it....rise above the divisiveness that keeps us all apart. I wrote you a real heartfelt private message a couple of months ago and you never responded. I put myself out here because I am real and I know the past, how it pertains to the present and where the future leads if we don't wake up and come together. The window of opportunity to turn this all around is closing. I have these two recurring nightmares where I am in the parking lot of this grocery store and this huge tornado drops out of the sky and I rush in to warn the people but the horror renders me silent.....then other times I rush in and scream "Tornado!!!" and the shoppers keep on pushing their carts and ignore my warning.
I dont believe in being defensive. I just find it amusing that the most illiterate and fearful of whites are the most racist. Its truly amazing to me not to mention loads of fun to toy with them. I post on here for 2 main reason. To educate others and torture the racists. When I get a chance to do both at the same time its hard to take the high road.
Sometimes I go for weeks without posting so I may have missed your private message. Some people arent going to come together. You have to understand and accept that. I am fine with that to be honest. I find white racists to be inferior and fearful. I dont want to come together with people that operate and are motivated by a crippling inferiority complex.
