Thanks. And, yes, I agree that politicians are all of one culture or race or creed or something because we all end up with
a bunch of censored! LOL
I find the posts really interesting as it so helps to define who
both of you are. Unlike you I am a senior citizen who grew up in
the South. My Mother also said "you'll understand when you are
older". Believe me I AM older and I still don't understand how
educated, caring, religious people thought it was aok to make
the blacks sit in the back of the bus, drink from separate water
fountains AND be out of the white section of town by dark.
My best friend and I decided to sit in the back of the bus to
show unity with "our" maids. It made sense at the time but it
caused the blacks alot of grief...and, of course, lead to some
unhappy moments at home. I always sought out the underdog as a
kid because I was bright, cute, funny etc. (back in the day..lol)
and by walking down the hall with a new kid or a poor kid or a
slightly disabled kid it sent a message to my peers to treat them
well. Subtle as it was, however, I always knew who would be welcome at my home and who wouldn't be.
Life is a challenge. DDD
