So....at what point did the slate get wiped clean?
According to many around here, racism directed by blacks against whites
is plain off the charts. The shame of it all! After all - how could they???
They really should just get up out of bed one day having forgotten all that has
happened. Not only to them but to their parents, their parent's parents, and
ancestors from generations before that. Hell yeah....this is the 21st century!
Time to forgive and forget. Live in the present. How dare they bear a grudge!
You're just honest, hard working, folks trying to make a living.
The last thing you need is someone with a chip on their shoulder trying to
make you feel badly about yourselves and your heritage.
This is the land of opportunity, for crisakes. Quit your belly aching!
What this country needs a massive, concerted, effort to combat racism.
Know where it starts? In elementary schools - everywhere.
Children are born without a racist notion in their heads.
Parents are the ones who sew the seeds - and they should be held accountable.
In my humble opinion, a mandatory program should be introduced in all public
schools where the child must be accompanied by parents or guardians in educational sessions on racial harmony. Four, or five, sessions of an hour each, without which no child can progress into middle school. Harsh lesson? Maybe so.
No.
It won't suddenly make racism vanish.
If someone has a better idea on how to teach our kids to treat others with the
respect that they themselves would want from others, then I'd love to hear it.

pinning their hopes on a man who has every
chance of returning to the WH, assuming that
he can manage to stay out of prison. Think about it.
