I get your point. I was simply looking at the power game that comes from definition and redefining. Yes we need to know which one we are using and clarify when we change reference points. Elephants often don’t impact the day to day lives of Ants . I say this because we can look at the macro level and micro level and different power dynamics. That’s hilarious . What you talking about Willis? It really isn’t. We make distinctions to accommodate our desires.

I agree. It sums of the schizophrenic nature of how race plays in the minds of people especially her in America. I believe it’s touched upon in Post Traumatic Slavery Syndrome that came out in the 80s.

For your consideration https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/addressing-the-theodore-roosevelt-statue/making-the-statue

That’s more troubling because it means you’re not fully understanding what you are saying. Why does it matter if you marry a Black, White, Yellow or Red person? What is it that disturbs you? Racism? Who’s experience at you considering yours or the couples? Who’s feelings and relationships are more important? Society’s or the Couple? Are these Shocked parents leaving massive estates? You had to insert Covid Paranoia in the conversation which is way off topic. Just like the question of crime in communities is not the topic of this thread. While a dictionary is a good start for common point of view, it is not a commandment or unable to be modified. Black people have seen White people since at least the time of Ancient Egypt.

Precisely why confusion reigns in our communities.

I mean the power to hire, fire, deny housing and incarcerate. If you don’t recognize that power it means a failure to see today’s relationships. Do have a copy of How To Be An AntiRacist?

Black people are not powerless in American society. They can because of their bias economically negatively effect non Blacks. It’s also documented in How To Be An AntiRacist.

Actually I was born in NJ and I work in NY. The statue didn’t offend. It actually captured the essence that Roosevelt just wasn’t a white figure. It’s because out society has advanced so much that people are easy to be offended and not realize how bad conditions were at the time Roosevelt lived. The questions could be. “Why was the Black man and Red man included?” “What message was the sculptor trying to portray?” I concur. Which makes people parrot Sidney Poiter was the first Black America to win an Oscar, when it was Hattie McDaniels for her role in Gone With The Wind.

Teaching your child to be a Racist may. Individuals who understand the fallacious argument of racism will allow them to marry whom ever the please. The argument you are making supports discrimination and irrational hatred. What people do is sparked by what they feel. Emotions - Experiences - Interpretation.

That’s ahistorical.

Thank you for continuing the stereotypes.

You did read my reply that slavery was a global phenomenon not just a United State institution. The fact that earlier Americans called it peculiar meant it was not normal. @Troycan you prove you are 100% ADOS?

Not to the degree that you have be headings and dismemberment on a regular basis.

That’s a development project a friend of mine is working on in Sierra Leone. I actually like it. My problem is the crime, political and religious instability in the region.

Wrong. Europe, Asia and Africa utilized slavery.

The question is do you know what makes America unique? this is a house being built in Sierra Leone . $15,000 US

We are talking about cost and the desire of the attorney to take the case. I have had experience to the contrary.

It’s a cry for help. Maybe someone with more resources and expertise can offer assistance. Finding legal help is still challenging. I sell life events legal plans and still find it difficult.

@Mzuri @ProfDI bet they did ask Bill Clinton multiple times when he had sepsis a few days ago.

That @Mzuriis the essence of the difference in treatment. They treated her like a drug addict and with a greater level of skepticism than if she had been White. I saw a video about a black dr who died because they didn’t take the woman at her word. Everything isn’t about race, however being open to the possibility that it is merits follow. @ProfDI think the fact that she wasn’t trying to make her video a hollywood production lends to the credibility. I would think a talk with some AZ Civil Rights Groups would be in order.

Not yet. I had to get some of other projects dealt with. Thank you for following up.

Even in the Fire Department Racism and Negative Discrimination occurs. Listen to this AZ woman’s story It’s sad that even after all the revelation of last year things like this still happen. It goes to show that while social media has a wide reach, not everyone has gotten the message that not treating all people with respect is unacceptable.

The price was the Pre-release price for the EBook. The price has been adjusted upward now and the paperback is $15.99. Thank you for your feedback.

Reconstruction gets my vote 🗳.

How are you finding the reading?
