What particular reason, other than the visual aspect you see when you look, makes you think she has or hasn't forgiven anyone?

It seems to me that we have a standard of living that we take for granted.

I'm grateful to have had indoor plumbing and electricity. My dad didn't have those when he was young. We live better than Kings of the old days. It's human progress.

Black lives matter to me, just as much as as any other ethnic group (or race). This country is a melting pot. We need to stew together without hatred or hostility and try to move forward in a positive manner.

I wasn't educated to oppress black folks. I guess I do have a certain amount of "white privilege" just because I live a predominately white area. When I enter a black neighborhood or town, that privilege no longer exists. Or so it seems to me. It comes down to what I call "occupational force".

The USA is ours, because our 'forefathers' took it away from somebody else.

I guess we're here to stay, because we'll all get blown up if someone tries to take it from us. It like were all hostages to the powers that be.
