The population numbers suggest that is not a major issue and I would bet they would say the same thing about 10 years ago. But I do congratulate you on your strength of memory. I read an article 8 years ago that said Bush caused the financial upheaval during 2008 and it was just as wrong then as it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You right, alot of em got tornadoes & softball size hail to think about, I know all to well about those two things. But living out on an island where you cant drive away to evacuate from total danger has to suck for those folks leaving the U.S. to start over though. thetragichippy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is. Any rational person knows/understands this and would suggest otherwise for the sake obfuscation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, don't just limit it to Africa. Can you name any other country on Earth where you feel you have a better shot at Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness? Sadly, I will never know how my life would've been in Africa,but my poor ancestors would've been better, especially Uncle Bubba and Lawrence who were lynched in 1965 ,or my ancestors who were forced to become slaves. The beatings, torture, selling of kids probably wouldn't have happened in Africa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big girl Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Poor Uncle Bubba, I heard he was a very nice guy. A very sweet, and compassionate man. I wish I could've met him. Uncle Lawrence wasn't a saint, but he didn't deserve to be lynched. ): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenash Posted June 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Dove, you and Big Girl often refer to how unfairly the Indians were treated when " we " took over this country. So if I am understanding you correctly "we" were the bad guys in that situation, but today it is a totally different story and anyone wanting to come into this country ought to be welcomed with open arms?

Their are good cops and cops that are rotten to the core. Some people have deserved police brutality and some didn't. Racism exist in every nationality. This site tends to be one sided at times, so i tend to argue against the one side. The good thing is i can do better, and I am man enough to admit it. Hate racism from any culture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
