But that was soooooooo long ago Iris.

That's not as important as xyz

Because this is posted in the African American Group - I will not tolerate anyone coming onto this thread to lament about Gazans. First and Final Warning in Advance From A Group Host.


******** As to the Content **********

Thank you. This was in my father's lifetime. In 1978 in Talladega Alabama I was visiting my dad's parents and we were denied service at a Dairy Queen.

To this day I've never walked into another one. Keep in mind I spent my formative years in West Germany. I didn't know that 50 or 60 year old white people could be mean. Seriously - when I learned about the Shoah my parents had to tell me remember Herr so and so or Mrs Nina or Frau so and so? They were Nazis.

In the mid 70's - a man who went to prison for his racist hateful behavior was giving free gummy bears to me because I was cute as a button.

18 years after this ended - white Americans were still behaving hatefully.

And it continues today. It's why when this Regime ends, we can't return to the status quo. No more Bullshit about "Well the Constitution says . . ."

Take your Constitution and Status Quo and shove it up Bull Connor's dead carcass. It's designed to demean Black people.

This happened on the Founding Enslaver's Constitution's watch. It happened because America didn't treat the enemy like the defeated asswipes they were. No more.

We can build back better.
