Food for thought.... - Star Ranger4 - 01-18-2021
in 1963, Martin Luther King, a person who is commemorated on this day, lead a march into Washington DC. They gathered, Peacefully, and the good Reverend told them all about how he had a dream that all men, regardless of skin color, were created equal. That they should have equal hopes and dreams and chances.
in 1995, his successors did so again.
In both those cases, there was no talk of storming the federal government buildings.
Yet, in 2021, in response to claims that 'They stole the election', a much smaller, predominantly white skinned... MOB did just that.
Oh, how we have fallen. And far to few of us to stand up anymore and say "This is NOT RIGHT"

This is part of why America will never be great as long as some people who have the same skin colour that I do believe that they are entitled to be in charge simply because of their skin colour.

Oh it's not special to those who share your skin colour Rob. It's just the bunch most obvious about it. There's other places where not being white is what makes you better than others and superior in all ways.
It's that sentiment that is so dangerous, more than the particular incarnation of it.
