You are correct that you cannot supply an explanation, but incorrect if you assume I am ignorant of that which you speak. My current girlfiend is black, my former wife is black, and many of my longtime friends are black -- some from America, some from other parts of the Great Diaspora. I have also just returned with some new friends made in Ghana. (In Africa the racism is more overtly directed at various tribes.)

When you think, check your premises...

Hi Melinda, How are you?? Checking in once in awhile on this thread, I see some familiar names, yours, Cobalt Blue, etc.. So I read some stuff, that wasn't very nice.. about racism etc.. It takes a lot of emotional energy to contradict that talk, like our war, I can't say much more against it.. I'm so disappointed in our administration.. "I study war no more" It doesn't settle anything.. We have tried that way..for ?? , 5,000 years... Has it done anything?? Except cause grief.. There is enough grief around, we don't expect... "I will fight no more forever" Chief Joseph after he led his people for so long against the "Might" of the US Cavalry.. He won .. the hearts of the the real people.. "might is not always right" . He wasn't afraid, but the fearful people were afraid.. The most dangerous person is the ignorant, little fearful person afraid of trying a new way. Just remember, my friend, "In the world of words, one of the best loved tribes is the diatribe." Edward Abbey, somewhere out in the desert.... I just exhibited it.... Coug
