I would hunt, fish, shoot, camp and ride horses all day. I'm not interested in fancy things, never have been. My mother actually jokingly mentioned it in a conversation recently.

I've done both already and know which one I prefer. I only came back for family and job/money. The only reason I don't regret it is my kids.

You let me know when you win the lottery. I'll share a beer with you for sure.

Me too. But I like the energy of people as well. I would own a country house and a city house. Come and go, which is what the rich do anyway. I would have a piece of land in PA or Upstate and aBrownstone in Brooklyn. Plus a house in the tropics.

See and I am black lives matters, Christian liberal. See how peace is made in a big City. Cant do that in the country that easily, thats what City living offers. Contact with others with diferent views.

Ofcourse they do. Black lives matters does not mean black lives matters more. It means we matter just as much as white lives, but we arent treated with value.. Look if a black girl goes missing does Nancy Grace spend three months of her show featuring that ? Would a white City face the problem like Flint Michigan. Thats the point of it all.. It takes its reputation in protesting police killing of black males. But it has other manifestations. We feel we arent as valued as whites. We know we are not valued as whites except in Sports and entertainment and it hurts on all levels. Just saying and you can research it on your own.

We all have lots to learn in life. I as a Christian, while struggling with my own biases and weakness, try everday. If you read the New Testament you see how the world hasn't changed much in 2,000 years with racial, religious, gender, nationalistic identity and discrimination. Its when we close our eyes to the struggles of our neighbors is when we fail. I wont preach and I wont out talk you or say your wrong. I will say I hope you have a great week.God bless. Plus all politics is what you said, identity poltics. Its just what you identify with. Its seems when people of color, gays, woman, advocate their concerns its called divisive. But if a white farmer advocates for farm subsidies, its neutral politics ?

"All lives matter" is an easy dodge. OF COURSE all lives matter.

the issue is, and always have been, that in America(and many places around this world) that black lives matter LESS. Hence "black lives matter". It's not a statement of superiority..it's a statement of equality. I'm black, and my life matters every bit as much as anyone else's. the issue is, my life has never, and WILL never, be given the full weight of it's worth when compared to anyone who ISN'T black/brown etc. that's where the BLM "tagline" comes from.

You, also, have "a lot to learn in life".
