Once again our extremely liberal Seattle got a scolding by Black activist, yesterday....



Please read the story, and then school me......
I don't get it  
They have some pretty harsh accusations against liberals too....

Sorry, I thought with the coronation of two termer Obama, it was a good indicator folks can see past race....
I won't even go into the fact that Black civil and political leaders, abandon Black folk to the point of calling them Oreos if they don't  tow the line....

Isn't understanding, predicated on dialogue?

Please, tell me exactly what it is you think ALL whites are not doing to make your/their life better?

Are we allowed to share our perceptions without charge of racism, or name calling, with the hope of opening up a conversation to each others views and beliefs, AND misunderstandings?

Here is the story link: http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Protesters-Seattleites-in-denial-about-rac...

On a very cool personal note, I have posted pictures of my grand daughter here I believe....
Her name is Grace, after my mother. She is the first child of my oldest son.
She is adopted.
The Black mother, knowing the difficulties of raising a child already, as a single mom, chose  my son and his wife to raise her child...

So many awesome dynamics are in play in this wonderful relationship....
I can't say I am wise to them all.

We knew when they got a blind call to go to the hospital for the birth of a child, and we pestered them for pixs.
They said we would have to wait until the papers were signed, etc...
It was about 3 days later, and all the details withheld, on one of those video calls, did I come to find out my granddaughter was Black....

I could see my son stare beating down on me as the camera swung to lil' Gracie....
He was trying to gauge my first unscripted response ( smart kid, he runs the advertizing for a big hotel chain, and knows first response is everything, from the minute you step onto the hotels property)

Anyway.... I was overjoyed...  

The picture sucked, but my first gut reaction was how proud I was for all those who put my granddaughters welfare first, and foremost....

The stories since from my son and his wife have been all over the spectrum, as one might imagine two white preppies in their SUV's taking their Black daughter everywhere,,,,  

Their story is theirs to tell, so I won't say anymore about it....

I have a wish, a prayer, for I am 62 years age, and Gracie is not yet 1.
I pray I live long enough to learn many things from her, for I know that love conquers all, and this lil' sweetheart will school Grandpa on things I don't understand about race....

Not trying to be a jerk here spring, but the "act" is subjective dependant on a lot of elements, is it not?
Who decides what "act" is acceptable and when its not?

I understand what you are saying, however I am trying to get under the surface of it.

Couple all that with the fact that TONS of people Just Don't Wanna OWN the screwups in their lives. Gotta be someone else's fault.

AhHAAH! I KNEW my Karmic Attaboy account was being siphoned off by someone.

If you find the answer, let me know cause the Ferguson mess here in St. Louis continues.....

Now a group called Oathkeepers showed up last night, armed, to protect the city. That doesn't help since the rioters see a double standard allowing armed, middle aged white men in camo to walk around pretending to be soldiers.  

I see the rioters point, but I also know that when the latest Ferguson mess dies down (at least until next year's 2nd Mike Brown "anniversary"), these Oathkeepers will go home and live happily ever after. Meanwhile, the blacks in this neighborhood will continue killing each other to the tune of about 1 every other day.

There's such a thing as being treated equally and being treated fairly. You want fair treatment? Don't rob, steal, rape and kill at staggering rates. Do that for a while and you earn the right to be treated fairly. Equal treatment is reserved for those who earn it.

That you can see it as a double standard doesnt shock me.

You misunderstood my post somewhat. I see it as a double standard, but not in the manner you apparently are thinking. Felons on parole for gun crimes for example, should not have guns. Nope. That's a double standard, but a valid one. They are being treated fairly, but not equally. I think you would agree with that, wouldn't you?

Common sense just doesnt appear to be something youre really great with..

and I've promised to be good so I'll refrain from telling you what part of my anatomy to plant your lips on....

Unless, of course, Mark would like to EXPLAIN why he is able to see the rioters position as rational and how its a double standard to have Law abiding, Law supporting people show up to maintain peace in the face of Lawlessness be allowed by Law Enforcement as somehow unfair to the rioters. Shall we next hold those who defend themselves , their homes and family from home invasion guilty?

I can't explain that because that is not my position. It is my position however, that you should read a little closer.

The silliness never ends..

Well, I agree with this part anyway.....

Are you old enough to remember the riots in California? Shop owners on the roof, armed, keeping rioters at bay, because the cops were outmatched?

No, I SAID what I said. I Called logic into question. I didnt get ugly, as others have done with me, BUT, Logic? Yeah, Ill do that. Until someone wants to help me understand what that thinking is based on, Ill questiion the thinking and the conclusion. I dont hafta tell someone I have bad ideas about where their Gramma was born or that Theyre a faulty person in their character. Clearing that up isnt sayong it, its clearing that up. Just sayin. I Didnt personally attack HIM, I Did question his thinking, and, until he is willing to and able to explain WHY he believes that, Ill continue to conclude that his thinking/feelings, whatever, are based in something other than pure logic.

Sayin' your not gonna' say somethin',... is the same as sayin' it...
Jus' sayin'... Lips Sealed...

yea, I know......
