So have I. I support freedom and rights for all Americans ... women, men, blacks, browns, inuets, Native Americans, LGBTs ... everyone has the right to live their own life. I have no right to stifle them and neither do you.

Maybe it's because you have.

Watch Mississippi, boys and girls!
I mean, how often does a BLACK man go into a runoff with a WHITE person in the asshole of the USA?
You would think he would be left in the dust on November 6th! Same deal with Red Texas and Beto. There's something happening here.
The white status quo is running scared, hence the terror tactics. Fucking cowards.

My ex husband and I cancelled our trip to the states many years ago on the advice of some American friends simply because he was a very black Fijian Indian. Broke my heart.

Sick hateful people. Hate racists-they are sick, ignorant people. Since my childhood have dealt with racism. My next door neighbors were only black family in town until another family from the South moved on the street. Then my parents sold their house to another black family and the neighbors tried to stop them. Learned people could be really ugly. Including my own racist parents.

I feel the same way. I was born in the South, but since my father was active duty military, we moved all over the U.S. while I grew up. I will never forget our visit to Alabama in 1965 where I saw for the first time water fountains with signs for blacks and whites, entrances to buildings with signs for blacks and whites, and I asked my father why they had those signs. His response to me was "it's ignorance baby girl, pure ignorance". It was then I decided I wouldn't have any part of this kind of behavior. I was 11 years old and knew right from wrong.

@Shelton yes, he was a wise man despite not having much of an education. He knew what it was back in 1965 and it is just as true today.

It will never end, will it?!

I doubt it will. Few months ago I was asked this question "You speak Spanish but you have blue eyes...you are white. How is this possible?

@DUCHESSA Oh for goodness sakes!

@Lilac-Jade Surprised? I am not; ignorance has a long root here.

@DUCHESSA No, not surprised, just fed up.

@Lilac-Jade Some people ask me if I am from Spain on account of my color. They think I will be offended if they tell me I am Latin-american. 🙂

@DUCHESSA I'm just boring old Canadian.

@Shelton That it does.

@Lilac-Jade I was in Canada; only few days....on vacations.

@DUCHESSA Canada is a big place....where?

@Lilac-Jade I know Canada is huge. We visited the falls and Niagara on the lake; we were there only four days.

@DUCHESSA Never been that far east, I'm in British Columbia.

@Lilac-Jade Niagara on the Lake is lovely. The falls didn't impress me much because I have seen the Iguazú Falls.

@DUCHESSA Personally I love waterfalls, but I prefer much smaller ones.

@Lilac-Jade Well, the Niagara are way too small compared to the Iguazú Falls.

@DUCHESSA Yes, I've seen many photos, but none of them impress me. when I say small, I mean ''small''.

@lilac-jade i am not impressed either by these things

@DUCHESSA Much more to my liking.....
