nice thread. I have heard horror stories about palestine and israel. I feel for them both.

Thanks, yes it is terrible to live under occupation while the world turns a blind eye to the horrors committed upon them by their occupiers.. flowers

Funny how the world hates the USA because it tries to step in on issues like this.
Perhaps the eye is blind because its been poked too many times?

This thread is not about hating on America, or their policies on Palestine but rather a place to voice solidarity with those suffering from racism from any quarter.. drinker

I remember telling people kneeling was not about hating America. People sometimes can only see the symbolism they believe in though. Not saying that is happening here at all. I just feel many things are oversimplified as either loving or hating America, instead of looking at the details on a case by case.

Yes some see criticism as a red flag to attack, and I believe that is why some folk are frightened to speak up.. As they say.. "Unity is Strength."

Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.

I believe it is something, as an adult or parent, to teach our kids both how it SHOULD be, and how it IS. Ignorance is maybe best fought with education and exposure. The issue stopped being a seat on the bus. WE have to keep fighting ignorance so it doesn't become an issue AGAIN, or much worse.

Exactly, no one is born a racist or sectarian bigot..Education is a key but without being taught respect at home it's useless.

Yes. and it takes a village. I know I am a softy at heart. Without the support system of my elders and family around me, there is no telling the spoiled brats my kids could have become. But I am not the ONLY one impressing upon them, and that balance of me and their other family has been a Godsend. Respect is one of the very important lessons that too many do not have impressed upon them, or at least not the GIVING respect aspect. They know too much about everyone else owing THEM respect.

Maybe some will. Been feeling 'unwanted' through centuries and still stayed to fight the good fight though.

But options are a good thing too.

Did you really think it thru before you posted a stick figure smoking? What are you trying to teach our kids? Smoking is no longer an acceptable behavior, in fact the smoking population is one of the most discriminated populations there is. Between the outrageous taxes and the very strict restrictions on where they can actually smoke.
