    Growing up I remember something my father told me as a young teen. He said, " I can live next door to anyone, but not everyone wants to live next door to me." I say live and let live. We don't have to be friends but we also don't have to be enemies.

      Well, actually, I can't offer next door, but there are houses in my neighborhood for sale, including one down the street and one just around the corner. Nice neighborhood, quiet & safe. Quite a few kids, great school district, the neighbors I know are good people.

      @@yaz447 I agree completely. When you have someone who’s brainwashed by the current day “woke” culture and sitting behind a hiring desk, I’d sure hate to be white or Asian. I’d sure hate to be white and encounter a police Officer, seeing how they shoot way more armed and unarmed whites than any other color. Then the media for some reason will only show cases where it’s a minority involved. It’s almost like the media has a certain narrative to uphold. It’s almost like they want to cause division. Weird. Especially we need to be careful of the people in Congress. How sick is it that certain Congress men and women actually want to defund the police in areas where it’s needed most. It’s almost like they want those areas destroyed. Yet people in those neighborhoods keep voting for those same people. Strange. I’m with you though 100% my friend. ❤️

    I’m a white woman, married to a white man. I was born in New Jersey and grew up in California, he’s from Cajun country. In the Deep South, I saw mutual segregation, but everyone was friendly to everyone else. What I DID see shocked the hell out of me, and still does. I had white people slam doors in my face. White people wouldn’t serve me at a high school snack bar at basketball games. I got dirty looks ALL THE TIME. Why? It’s a super tiny southern town and I was a “northerner” who stole an eligible bachelor. Who WAS nice to me??? Only the black people. They’d hold open doors for me, smile when passing, etc. More proof that an a$$hole is an a$$hole; a kind person is a kind person. You’ve got BOTH in ALL colors.

Both, my parents and grandparents used derogatory terms, growing up during the civil rights struggles. I feel like my generation got much more exposure to equality and I feel much more accepting than my elders. The key lies in education and surrounding future generations with equality.

I was always told that each person you meet is different, they have their own ideas and beliefs. You treat them as you would want them to treat you.

Being born in America to both Mexican parents I had some of the worst ideas running through my head when I received orders to be stationed there. I believed that the color of my skin was going to be a big concern for me, but it turned out to be an overreaction on my part from what I had seen in movies, t.v., and heard of old stories of the Deep South. I honestly believe that the mutual respect we shared toward each other back then made our friendship effortless and enlightening, I truly appreciate and loved the experience learned and I have to give thanks to every single St. Mary's and Kingsland individual I personally met for keeping an open mind and having love for fellow citizens that might look and talk slightly different, God bless America🙏.

Get to know people as individuals and keep an open mind. So many people have struggled and had a hard life.

Staying in school, going to college are important in these communities. Having more education in a community on opening their own businesses. How to get loans from others to open businesses. Crime in areas has to be addressed. Teaching your own race not to rob and steal from these businesses. It ruins your community. The businesses move out and the jobs. The property exist, partially because of these things. Without help from the city and communities and people it won't work.

    My grandparents they were highly racists. My dad though, not at all and would even shut down old racists jokes and he grew up in a county that was mainly white in WV. I have four nieces that are all mixed races, one of my best friends moved here from Kenya and became a US citizen after enlisting into the Army. Hell, one of my wife's best friends just became a citizen from Brazil and she's learning Portuguese so when we visit my wife's friends family we can give them proper respect and talk in their language next year. Old attitudes in a new world don't mix and I have quite a few interracial couples in my books. It's a shame when someone is judged based on their color and not who they are as a person.

    Good Lord Nick! Many black communities lost businesses during the end of segregation. Black Americans, particularly in the deep south, started patronizing white businesses becuase they believed they had more choices available. Actually, they end up hurting businesses in predominantly black communities that provided jobs and other opportunities. You would never see this happen in predominantly Jewish communities because they exercise the importance of supporting their own before anyone else. Black folks have lost that sentiment and, as a result, created a huge void for opportunities in their own community. This has nothing to do with segregation, but all to do with econonmic survival.

    I’m going to throw out an opinion. I believe that most of the bias and animosity that is interpreted as racism is not actually racism. It’s a cultural divide. The white and black communities were separated for a long time which led to a difference in values. This was also exacerbated by the end of segregation.
    While I’m not arguing for segregation, it is true that black business owners and wealthier black men were forced into hiring only from their own communities which led to a normalization of middle class norms. However when segregation ended, all the higher income black individuals in black business owners left the black communities to fester, and this led to the cultural stagnation of the black community.
    While it is true the black community has been through a lot in the past, I think it’s important that the black community comes to terms with the numerous cultural problems that exist within their community in order to more effectively improve their lives and the lives of their children.

      Pretty much. Your analysis, or, to be fair, your opinion, as you say, to me at least, is comparable to drawing a straight line from point A to point B at a very small angle to the horizontal. And the farther you travel along the horizontal away from the origin of the angle made with respect to the horizontal the greater the distance or gap becomes between the horizontal and the angle made with respect to it. You seem to begin somewhere around the middle, or somewhere near the end farthest away from the origin of things. It’s sort of an abstraction. it’s sort of a putting the cart before the horse.

      One big factor is also the lack of families with old roots in Florida. Most only go back 2-3 generations, if that.

BLM was recently protesting a shooting where a black woman and her children were actually in danger from the suspect that was shot and the protesters were giving the black woman a hard time. Statistically a black man is more likely to be shot by a black from a rival gang than by the police. They make the police their enemy in their protests then wonder why their neighborhoods are full of crime. Their heros are the rappers who rap about drugs and many are involved in the business then they wonder why their hoods are full of drugs.

    I am from western Pennsylvania and we were raised in public housing not because my parents didn't have enough income but because my father was black and for that reason the bank refused to give them a loan. My mother called about a house to see if the house was still available and it was my my mother and brother went to see the house and when the owner saw my brother the owner said, the house was sold. The same thing happened with my brother. When he called to check on the availability of a house it was still available but when he went to see it he was told another couple was currently interested in the house. My brother asked one of his white friends to check the house (the same day) the owner said, its available. Both homes happened to be in white neighborhoods.

That entitlement to a land that they did not build is over and dishonorable. EUROPEANS are NOT Indigenous to America and how dare anyone come to a land they're not Indigenous to and treat Black and brown people who built it for free lesser than. It's degeneracy and it's evil, ungodly, and expired. It's changed even if it cost their lives. That hate can't run the states anymore.

Y'all obviously don't know who build the White house neither ! BLACKS !!
