I would say that you have taken to heart the valuable life lesson's that your Mother has instilled in you and you are representing the legacy she bestowed upon you quite admirably sir. I can think of no better way to honor her.thank you!
i credit my way of thinking to my dearly departed mother (may her roasting be well seasoned!)
i was a part of the 1rst wave of bussing from the northern community to the suburbs in the mid 80's. there was a lot of discrimination in the township i went to. i recieved one hell of an education!
my mother was an educator for 27 yrs and the most profound thing she taught me was it is my responsibility to do for self.
she also pointed out the overt and obscure racism that we faced during those times. she stressed that it was our responsibility to overcome it, not rely on it to blame others for our short comings. she worked 2 jobs to raise us and go to achool for her teaching license. never once did she blame anyone for what she lacked. her mother was 100% native american and my mother was the product of rape by a white man but she never blamed white people for anything.
i owe it to her to be the best person that i can be. when i learned about affirmative action i was appalled that people wanted to be included just because of the color of their skin. she always told us that if "someone doesn't want you in their house,then don't go to their house". it had nothing to do with race.
as to the cheeseburger and beverage...i'm free on weekends. name the time and place. lol
When I went to school we had Black, Asian, Latino, and White kids all at the same school. I don't remember race being a factor at all. Most of my adult life I never seen much racism. When the race problems SHTF was when Obama the great divider started his rhetoric. Since then it's been nothing but race problems. See the commies couldn't win by class division so they started working on race division. Now our country is torn apart by something that is over exaggerated IMO.In our back yard play ground at any given time you may see kids from any number of cultures and this man is correct.....unless they are indoctrinated into it early they do not see color. They just want to make friends and play.
They are that way until adults **** them up with all this racists based bull and that is where we need to address these issues.
Brother my grade school was mainly white with an Asian family going there. Smart kids.When I went to school we had Black, Asian, Latino, and White kids all at the same school.

I've lived in the country most of my life so I don't know what it's like to live in a big city. My elementary, middle, and high school days were in a avg size city at that time it was around I believe 100k people. Very diverse city race wise.Brother my grade school was mainly white with an Asian family going there. Smart kids.
High School was all white save for a few Asian kids. I believe they moved here so Dads could be engineers at Allisons in Speedway. Real good atmosphere until my second semester of my sophomore year. the 1st black kids in Indy were bused out of the inner city to the (then) burbs and life was never the same after.
You can't possibly believe that. Obama started race problems? No, you simply live in a smaller world. Multi-media has exposed a lot of things that in the past were kept localized due to the travel of information, and which are now nationwide news. Can you imagine how much things we wouldn't know about if not for video camera's on cell phones? That leap tech leap, or at least quality video, happened under Obama.When I went to school we had Black, Asian, Latino, and White kids all at the same school.

No Kut. He re-kindled the embers that were at a low burn. He did not start race problems. Re-read his post please and lets stay on track.

s. hugh dillon (the judge who ordered deseg) really stirred the isht. he forced black kids to go miles away from home to schools who were not equipped nor welcome to the idea of intergration. this was when i became intoduced to boardroom racism. looking back, i do not blame the schools, parents, or students. i blame the ignorance of the judge and legislature who felt this was a good idea with no more than a few months preparation for either side.Brother my grade school was mainly white with an Asian family going there.

“Only?” I’d challenge this belief. Organizing protests, transportation of supporters/voters, multi-media presence are expensive things. So unless one thinks they’re completely grassroots - which would be extremely troubling to their detractors, I think it would seem that the do spend a fair chunk of change.
Good old SU......there was talk among the parents that setting up all that bussing/equipment/drivers etc cut loose some serious funding and some folks reaped the rewards from it. They built maint. facility's and tooled them up. Fuel tanks and said equipment.s. hugh dillon (the judge who ordered deseg) really stirred the isht. he forced black kids to go miles away from home to schools who were not equipped nor welcome to the idea of intergration. this was when i became intoduced to boardroom racism. looking back, i do not blame the schools, parents, or students. i blame the ignorance of the judge and legislature who felt this was a good idea with no more than a few months preparation for either side.
i also grew up in a very diverse atmosphere. we had all races/ethnicities/nationalities in our hood. the problems we had between us had nothing to do with race
obama DID NOT start this. he just put the 21st century spin to it. there was a lot of behind the scenes reasons why obama was chosen. the most obvious was to placate the "minorities"You can't possibly believe that.

ips was paid $75/day per child to send the kids, the townships were paid $151/day per child to recieve them, the bus company was paid $40/day per child to transport them along with the millions passed around to maintain/repair/purchase the buses. this info was passed around about 10 yrs after busing started.Good old SU......there was talk among the parents that setting up all that bussing/equipment/drivers etc cut loose some serious funding and some folks reaped the rewards from it.

I don't believe that at all. If anything he got racists to expose themselves. I didn't even like Obama, and hell, even I think his wife is busted, but I heard the rhetoricNo Kut.

Thats fair. If there’s a credible allegation of wrongdoing, it should be investigated. The caveat, is the BLM just recently became a non-profit, so essentially from that point they should be subject to the same rules as any other with same designation. And so far as the woman who founded it, as I stated earlier, she says she’s hasn’t been paid by BLM for years. Her tax returns should prove that, and if she has been using the money for personal expenses, and they’re not reported, she should locked up.The question is where do they spend it?
Organizing protests? Book of faces come to mind.
Multi-media presence? MSM gives them all they need for free.
Transportation of voters/supporters? Didn't we just have a mail in election?
The question that should be asked is where and how much was spent? You know the same accountability being demanded of other organizations.

Much like how Harry Reed was made to prove his allegations against Mitt Romney for not paying taxes?$12 million actually to local BLM chapters; outside of national organization budget. They ended 2020 with $60 million still in the bank. As far as the houses, the chick in question got 2 book deals and a content creator from Warner Brothers. I imagine she was paid well. If the claim is that she used BLM money to purchase houses, then the onus is on on the person making the allegations to prove their point. The chick says she hasn’t used a dime from BLM, and hasn’t taken a paycheck from them in several years. If that’s false, then she’s broken the law. Sure, I know what people who oppose BLM want to think, but there’s no proof to confirm those suspicions.
I am thinking this all depends on who is doing the looking or whos eyes this is seen through.I don't believe that at all. If anything he got racists to expose themselves. I didn't even like Obama, and hell, even I think his wife is busted, but I heard the rhetoric
