Not sure what you mean, Pa. No ganging up occurred. Just trying to decipher your ramblings and Pa'isms. NBD. |

ok - lets get over whites vs blacks - here’s the problem, coming from a Canadian - Yes, Blacks were a race taken by force to live in the US - but they have made a great turnabout, which they would not have those opportunities if they had never come to America, look at all the million dollar recording artists, the NFL and BBall players, Oprah Winfrey, yes none of this would have happened if they had not been forced to the US, and yes, there are a lot of impoverished Blacks, but there are lots of impoverished whites, hispanics, and asians. Neither race holds any one hand anove the other, in fact, there are just as many Blacks who are very white racist (Oprah Winfrey) but there will always be racists, whether, black, white, hispanic, or asian - look at the Japanese, they will not allow immigration from anyone not Japanese, but nobody mentions this. My point is, we all have differences and we are all similiar, do not call a specific person a racist just because they conquered your race, otherwise, the Romans (Italians) have a lot to answer for.

It's human nature to prefer your own kind over other kinds.
Of course, we being a species of higher animal which constantly strives to better ourselves, we have come to know that giving such preferential treatment to members of one's own group over and above those of other groups, especially when one's own group has held an unfair advantage over another group for centuries, is morally wrong and should be something we strive to discontinue doing. The point is not so much how much progress we've made, but that we continue striving to continue making more progress until someday, hopefully we'll get to a point where it's no longer an issue. |

Jimbo, someone years ago said that they predict in 2049, homosexual people will be seen just as normal as straight people. :)

My name is Donathan, pronounced the same way you pronounce Jonathan, except with a D.😀 Hitting on a Lesbian who speaks to you and about you like trash means you're REALLY desperate! 😀

actuallly Lesbians and Gays no longer need to be labelled as such, their preference is as they choose, as does the heterosexual male and his female counterpart, the slut, sorry girls but thus issue needs to be addressed, in 2017 you would be hard pressed to find anyone who would not just see this as the norm.

True! And despite what we hear from members of supposedly aggrieved minorities, the US is probably the least racist country in the world. |

It certainly behooves those groups to strive. Beyond the legislative changes that have already been made, it's now up to certain minorities (especially blacks) to take the ball they've been given, and run with it. It's in their own interest. There's a lot that white people can't be expected to fix at this point. |

The eclipse was probably one of the better parts of 2017 for me. Had I traveled 2-3 hours south, I would have been in the 100% totality. Also took a few fun hiking trips this year, one to Mt. Rainier. Lots of bad moments in 2017 however. I'm hoping 2018 will be better for myself, my family, and the world.
