Her and her “folksy” smack talk and devil’s advocacy are just darling, aren’t they? She comes from Canada, the whitest country in North America, and yet has so much contempt for white Americans. Charming addition to our population.

Precisely. And she’s probably whiter than both of us.

I am being personally being attacked on this forum because we believe in equality. Not white not black not anything,,, we are all human beings and should do better at getting along. We must be equal citizens of this country given the SAME opportunities. Right here on this forum, you can see that far from the truth in this country at present.
My apologies no attack intended. I too wish for the day skin color is something to be celebrated, not hated. I too believe the youth of today may be the first generation to actually see true equality. The intent of my previous post was only to highlight the danger in actually erasing the bad times, which could come back to haunt us if we can't see the damage it actually caused.

Canadians earn the less-than-savory reputation they often receive with their constant criticism of America coupled with dead silence about the foibles of their native country. It’s a national pastime for them.

Don’t believe me? Go to the Canada forum and witness the lack of conversation about their own problems. They are far more content to wag their finger at us instead.

Yes it was. The stinking thinking has to go. However- all politics are involved because the root is BIG MONEY -

I love my parents, we never saw colors...and I've taught my family the same. All people are worthy of respect,. I I have traveled when Hubby was in the military, and in our free nation,,, this is inequality is absurd!! As a woman 67- I know what it feels like to not be equal in the job front. It's got to stop.

Kind of like the headline I saw from The Guardian with an op-Ed saying that Juneteenth is our real Independence Day, not July 4th. This from people who have never even heard of Juneteenth until a few weeks ago. What the heck does someone from England have to say about our Independence Day anyway? It’s all the BLM movement that explicitly says on their website that they are only concerned with black lives, no matter what country they reside in. It’s an international black lives movement and not an American civil rights movement.

Uh oh, according to the author of White Fragility you just showed you are a racist.

My sister lives in Australia. She’s been there 25 years. She sends us headlines that make the most RIDICULOUS claims about America. She says it’s no joke - sitting around with a pint having a critical conversation about America - a place most Australians will never even visit in their lifetime - is indeed a common pastime.

This is what globalism brings? A planet-wide circle jerk of criticism? Blech.

Well, we are the major super power now and that comes with the territory. I have no problem with them being critical. I just wish they were not being bombarded by America-hating media from our own country on a constant basis.
