Sir, although I do see a genetic resemblence between the two, Mayor Lightfoot doesn't like dudes. She likes girls.

Maybe she "experimented" in college. lol

Could be the reason why she switched parties.

... enough with the rainbow identity innuendos... this is a very serious post

I guess I don't know what side of the arches I'm on. Before I moved to MS you cautioned me, Buzzard, about how racist it was.

But since I've moved here I've seen the exact opposite. When I lived in NY, I didn't know a soul who didn't refer to black people by the N word, since moving here I've only heard it a few times, and most of those times were black people saying it.

On the day we moved down here, I said to Pete I don't think we're in IL anymore.. he asked why and I said look, there are black road workers... black people in Gov't jobs! In IL, those were all reserved for whites.

In IL, white store managers would make comments about it "getting too dark in here" when their newer assistant managers hired black workers.... down here it's common to see BLACK store managers (I work for one) which is rarely seen up north.

If you think MS is racist, Buzz, I think you need to get out more.

... buzzard identifies as afro american?

.. I’m so confused at this point

I try real hard to judge people for their character only. I am only human so sometimes its hard. Like an accent/words that dont even register as English to me. It bothers me that stuff that is proven true over and over again can not be discussed. Like Anastasi jews as a group consistently have higher IQ scores than Asians as a group. Asian consistently test higher than Caucasians, and Caucasians consistently test higher than Negros.

The folks doing these tests said the results were cultural and not indicative of peoples ability to learn so they came up with different tests. The results were the same. We can't talk about it though. Google average IQ by country if your a mind too. IQ below 70 is the definition of mentally retarded in the United States.

Lots of stuff we cant talk about. its not considered polite to talk about how black men dominate pro boxing for example. How come we cant talk about that?

Its fine to say wolves coyotes german shepards and labradors are really the same species and capable of interbreeding. Then describe their differences and commonalities.

We are going to have to get to that same place with humans if we really want a frictionless interaction and a common community.

Human nature and the world dealings oppose unity.
Want proof?
Look around.

It's just a flag. But it doesn't take very much at all to ignite the nature in us to a full blown blaze.
America is a truly wonderful place, but the independent, individual, live free or die mindset breeds selfishness and the enemy is really good at fanning those embers.

I really don't care about a flag. It's a flag.
Several people in our congregation are dying of cancer right now. Two older, one younger.
Nobody worrying about things to do with flags when the things that matter, matter.

As the world turns, we pray this nation returns to her founding principles which have been discarded by enlightened fools.
Traded for bobbles and jewels and things that might make someone "happy" on their Facebook post, but not very nice to live with otherwise.

Unity doesn't come from people.
Want proof?
Look around.

Blessings!

I drive to the right of the golden arches each morning to order my McD's coffee.

The right hand side is worthy Lugnut.
Of that, there is no doubt.

Haha, I left the cess pool you call home in the rear view mirror

in 1976 as well as all my generation of kin,

last time I was there it was to put my Mom in the grave.

That was 10 years ago, I refuse to go back, my

family is cursed with both sides of the Klan. many

of the Welch's have died because of racism.

You may however be correct, but then again where

you live is on the river side of the stone arches so to speak.

Stay away from Jackson and especially Vicksburg,

Lots of great folk are there but hate runs deep
