Mike, you get the Truth Teller Award of the year - and all time, in my book - thank you for saying out loud what so many have swallowed whole, and now are so stricken with soul constipation, they have no idea what, or how to say!!

Well, you clearly have absorbed a depth of wisdom and insight from your experience in this life - I always appreciate your views and thank you for sharing so boldly. I am becoming progressively speechless. One of my sisters wound up in Seneca Falls. When she passed, I flew back and stayed 6 weeks - not sure I ever saw even one person who was not 'white' except for two women in her AA circle who were Native American. We took a drive to Ithaca one day - in one neighborhood, I could see some black folks - in one of the poorest neighborhoods I ever had seen. I/we have so much to learn about our own culture we do not know - isn't it audacious that we deem ourselves fit to lead anyone anywhere - we are living such a lie, ourselves.
By the way Mike, have you seen this? It looks like something you moght want to see:

I love the phrase soul constipation....I will be including that in my conversations. Thank you.
Same! Thank you, Kathleen!
Kathleen,
Thanks. I am lucky. I had the "opportunity" to be mixed race. So, I get to see some aspects of America through two lenses, not just one.
I can honestly say, when I lived in rural East Texas I was treated better than when I moved to upstate NY, by the white community....
