A question I have never asked before, and to be honest, I never gave a damn about the answer, but today, I am curious. Why do so many White ppl hate Black ppl? And it can't be the color of our skin because that makes no sense.

@JeffreyGoldberg We signed a contract to serve, and if necessary, give our life for our country. Trump cannot connect with our veterans, dead or injured because he never had to crawl through mud, freeze or bake in the desert. Don't let Trump's disrespect affect your spirit my fellow Vets.

Legal Slavery may have ended in 1865, but a more complex form of bondage continued in the form of an education system designed to produce minimum wage workers...Slaves to the low skill, low paying jobs, that guarantees generation after generation locked into a low wage cycle.

Trying to get my head around White anger, it finally dawned on me, that R/Wing Ideology represents the views of the defeated Confederacy. So when they speak of MAGA, they are talking about making the Confederacy great again.They are behaving like citizens of an occupied nation.

I witnessed my first police nightstick beating of a Black man in 1964, Norfolk, Virginia. I remember crying-out that he was a human being, and their response was, you had better move on Sailor, before you get some of what he is getting.

2021, and I am having a flashback to a beating of a Blk man that I witnessed in 1965, Norfolk, Va. The Police was beating the man so badly that without thinking, I shouted out, "that is a human being."The police response, "move on Sailor before you get some." Nothing has changed.

For those that have never served. Let it be known, that even with the best trained & equipped Armed Forces, it takes logistics support to win Wars. Most African Americans might not have served in WW-II combat units, but they provided crucial support in the logistics chain.
