There are racists in every race and culture. I don't care what anyone says, but I have seen it firsthand. It is ugly and stupid and sometimes, dangerous. The root causes come down to fear and jealousy and sometimes outright greed.

Most all people in this country today have no concept of what slavery was. When they speak about it, they can only speak about it in distant terms. They never experienced it. Jim Crow laws? There are still people out there who know what that was like, myself included. I was never subjected to Jim Crow, but I did witness it in action. I watch a young black male child that was my friend get cracked in the head by a cop for using the "Whites Only" water fountain. I was angry about it then and now. That has no place in this society.

Tearing down statues and burning flags is not the solution. Understanding history is. When we do not understand our history, we doom ourselves to repeating it. The Dems like a dumbed down voter, remember that....
