I say, "You know I don't believe, but I want to do something to help you." and generally that means cooking for them, running errands, hosting things... I've rarely been turned down, but ascribed that to my offers being practical help (rather than to my lack of religion).

Hey John

Amisja replies on Mar 18, 2019:

@johnprytz I am interested in global politics. As a Brit we have much to occupy our minds with this Brexit malarky and I hear you have your own troubles with right wing loons? I continue to have faith in the sensible pragmatism of the majority of Americans and as for the nuclear codes etc, I believe there is a fail safe which has been around since the Nixon era. As a US greencard holder and the mother of dual national US/British children, I will never return to USA. The elite have sold the populus a fairytale based on the god, 'American exceptionalism' and the opportunity to have a large piece of the pie. It angers and saddens me that Americans have been told that the rest of us are not free, that our lifestyle is less comfortable, that universal healthcare is less effective and that caring for those less advantaged is akin to sin. However, I am not American. There are lots of amazing things come from Australia and UK. My understanding of USA is based on a decade of living there (one small corner of AZ) and my understanding of humans. I would like to know more about the rest of the world. We have brave members who come on here from parts of the world were being open as regards their lack of faith would see them executed. To me, those are important stories to tell. I am though, interested in what you have to say, like to check you are ok and I enjoy your conversation. If you would rather I didn't...I'm gone. Jayne

@Touched Well you are the same age as my aged P! I joined Antifa and laterly hope not hate in order to protest against racism, notions of white supremacy and antisemitism wherever I saw it. I was a young teen and very vocal in my condemmation of hate. I know who I am. I know I am not better than any other living creature and I will fight to my dying day to oppose hate. I live in a diverse multi-cultural part of England and we got this way on the backs of thousands of working people before me. In the 1860s the cotton workers of Blackburn suffered a cotton famine due directly to the Revolutionary war in USA. People in my home town chose to remain out of work (1000s starved) rather than work on the backs of enslaved persons. This was the first time I have directly encountered racism as I thought we'd all grown the fuck up. (Sorry for swearing Dad!). This is why it upset me. Not just because it exists but because I was niave to think it didn't. https://www.hopenothate.org.uk

@Touched wtf?

Chili con Carne, recipe by Huntley Dent.

Cutiebeauty comments on Mar 9, 2019:

Chilli = ground beef, onions, kidney beans, chilli powder, cumin, tomato paste, water or broth, salt, pepper and jalapenos.... ?

I put tinned chopped tomatoes in too

One of my oldest friends, who is 44, lost her younger sister in a car accident a few months ago.

This may sound like more hocous pocous but the first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed only changed.

It isn't hocus pocus its a scientific fact.

I don't have one black friend. I am academic advisor for 18 students 7 of whom are persons of colour. My sister is mixed as are her children. She has rarely encountered racism or indeed hostility. I am opposed to any form of hatred perpetuated on people for something they can't change. I tried to explain how upset and angry I was to be academic advisor to two students and the guilt I felt at being unable to protect them.

Not surprised at all. Ignorance is everywhere. The kids will develop coping mechanisms to deal with non-blacks, and hopefully they will maintain a balance of seperating the low-lifes from normal people. Fact is, they will always remember those experiences and they should. As opposed to trying to ...

Very sorry to hear that, and more than sorry to hear that you are upset by it , as you naturally will be. But you must keep the stiff upper lip both for the sake of your students, and because if you allow it to ruin even a small part of your life, then you are letting the racist bullies win a small ...

Amisja replies on Mar 8, 2019:

I do understand this. I think that was kind of my point. I have a mixed race sister, my ex was Jewish American, my cousin's wife is Puerto Rican. I hate racism. I hate it intellectually but I never felt it before. When my nephew comes and stays with me, he is my little chap. He is who he is. His race never even occurred to me. This has been the first time I felt it. Like really felt angry at other people's ignorance before.
