Trinitye, Some people know not what they say. I have heard the same type of comments that you reference. As a 6’4” 240lb white man with a shaved head who has to turn or dust the jambs going through most doorways, I have had many people tell me I am scary looking, including my own daughters (and every one of their boyfriends but that is a + as far as I am concerned ). I have seen strangers turn and go a different direction at the sight of me walking up the street or in a store. The Bellamy Brothers sang “If you judge me by my cover I’d be the book you wouldn’t read”, but that is based on other’s preconceived prejudices and it is also their loss, not mine. Like my father, I am a physically imposing man. It has nothing to do with who I am as a person, it is just the way I appear. Racism, like any other prejudice, knows no color. There is no such thing as “reverse racism”, if you judge other people based on the pigment of their skin, then you are a racist. It is that simple. As an American (regardless of color) I found it extremely offensive when Moochell stated that the first time she was proud of America was when her husband was elected President. She was not proud of the founding of the Country, not the death of 600,000+ in a war that ended slavery in America (but still practiced in some African countries and the ME), not our resolve and victory in WWI or WWII, not the scientific and medical advances that have come from America, not even “a small step for man, but a giant step for mankind”. No, she found no reason to be proud about America until there was a black President. Did you find that statement inspiring? If so, would you find it acceptable if a white person conversely said the first time they were ashamed of America was when Moochell became first lady? I tend to doubt it, but to me both statements are equally offensive. Do you find it acceptable when a black person purports to know that a white person is racist just because of the fact that they are white? I have heard it said that since I am white, I do not even know I am being a racist. By definition, that statement itself is racist since it is based entirely on pigmentation. Unfortunately, at this juncture in our history there are just as many blacks judging whites as racist because of their skin color as vice versa. Until such time that we live up to the dream of MLK and judge people not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character, nothing will change.

ESPN: The Enlightened Socialist Progressive Network Mike Adams | May 08, 2015 Watching ESPN is painful these days. What used to be a good sports channel is now a platform for bad pop sociology and “progressive” political commentary. The commentary was in full force recently as I watched a sports commentator try to explain how the riots in Baltimore were a function of socio-economic factors. He had it wrong from the beginning. The cultural disintegration that is happening in Baltimore – and, indeed, all around the country – is not due to a lack of money. It is mainly due to a lack of education – or, to put it more bluntly, willful ignorance. There is a reason why you hear so many class warfare sermons from television sportscasters: Many sportscasters used to be academically unqualified athletes who had to major in sociology in order to survive academically. When these athletes were in their sociology classes, certain subjects were taboo. Here are five rather obvious examples: 1. Abortion and Race. Although only 12 percent of the population is black, 37 percent of aborted babies are black. In fact, more blacks are aborted every week than have been lynched in the entire history of the United States of America. The prevalence of abortion has a ripple effect on the black community. It makes it easier for men to have sex without commitment to women and children. This weakens the family, decimates the average household income, and paves the way for big government. 2. Business ownership and race. People often talk about buying minority votes with welfare. But the welfare checks don’t stay in the hands of blacks for very long. They are soon cashed and spent in businesses in black communities. But members of different minority groups own most of the businesses. So the money quickly leaves the black community. The obvious solution is that blacks need to turn to entrepreneurship rather than government to strengthen their communities. 3. Crime. Blacks are far more likely to be victims of crime than whites. But focusing on the occasional white-on-black crime diverts attention from the fact that about 80 percent of all crime is intra-racial. In other words, about four out of five crimes committed by a black citizen are committed against another black citizen. Of the remaining 20 percent of crimes that are inter-racial there are far more black-on-white crimes than white-on-black crimes. This is despite the fact that whites vastly outnumber blacks in the general population. The prevalence of serious crime in the black community has serious economic consequences. Putting men in prison means taking them out of the workforce. When men aren’t paying the bills, big government steps in to become the family provider. 4. Dependency. By wildly exaggerating the extent of white-cop-on-black-citizen crime, reporters and academics make black citizens unduly distrustful of the police. This means that black citizens are more likely to tolerate crime as it infiltrates their communities. This is why drug dealers and drug-related gangs are able to operate in plain sight in many housing projects and in other poor black residential areas. In neighborhoods where drug dependency increases, lawful employment decreases. When this happens, big government fills the void. Thus, a community’s drug dependency is a major predictor of its government dependency. 5. Fatherlessness. Just about every negative social outcome is directly and strongly related to fatherlessness. Whether you are talking about unemployment, illiteracy, crime, or drug dependency, the absence of a father is a principal driving factor. Before big government started subsidizing illegitimacy, most black kids were raised in two parent households. Now, broken homes are the rule in the black community, not the exception. This explains why blacks keep falling further behind other minorities. By contrast, in the Asian community where illegitimacy is the exception, rather than the rule, crime is lower, educational attainment is higher, and business, not government, is seen as the road to success. It is sad to see unemployed black men marching in the streets of Baltimore with signs reading, “Racism is the problem, revolution is the answer.” It is also disappointing to see black sportscasters sitting on national television giving lectures based on 19th century Marxist ideology, rather than 21st century economic reality. Imagine if college athletes studied legitimate academic disciplines like economics. Later, they could seek employment as educated sportscasters performing a legitimate public service. Instead of legitimizing the mobs, they could teach the masses the obvious: Ignorance is the problem and basic economic education is the answer.

This could the final meeting for the HCA to become HCL.

CNN. Broadcasting From The Baghdad Dunkin' Donuts With Today's Special On 'Zeros' ! Economic Commission representative: Do not delay behind the deletion of zeros stability Parliamentary Economic Commission, announced that the instability of economic policy in the country, the main factors behind the wait is implementing a project to delete the zeros of the currency, saying that the central bank alone can not accomplish this important project without the support of the government. Said committee member Nora Albjara, "The government has completed all the mechanisms relating to the draft deletion of zeros from the currency since the year 2013 and was able to complete the project within the required specifications," noting that "no project application came for political and economic reasons." Confirmed Albjara that "the most appropriate time that it was possible to implement the project to delete the zeros of the currency is the year 2012 because of the unstable political and economic climate and because of the high oil prices, as well as financial abundance at the time that allowed the state to start deleting zeros currency". She was a member of the Economic Commission for regret "for not cabinet vote on the project at the time, which caused the loss of an opportunity to achieve financial stability and to avoid the effects of high oil prices." http://fk-news.com/37555-%D9%84%D9%84%D8%AC%D9%86%D8%A9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%82%D8%AA%D8%B5%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%A9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A9:%20%D8%B9%D8%AF%D9%85%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B1%20%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A1%20%D8%AA%D8%A3%D8%AE%D9%8A%D8%B1%20%D8%AD%D8%B0%D9%81%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%B1.html

... THEY JUST GET THE JOB DONE. With their roots in South Africa apartheid-era security forces, they do not fit the standard image of an army of liberation. But after just three months on the ground, a squad of grizzled, ageing white mercenaries have helped to end Boko Haram’s six-long year reign of terror in northern Nigeria. Run by Colonel Eeben Barlow, a former commander in the South African Defence Force, the group of bush warfare experts were recruited in top secrecy in January to train an elite strike group within Nigeria’s disorganised, demoralised army. Some of the guns-for-hire cut their teeth in South Africa’s border wars 30 years ago. But their formidable fighting skills – backed by their own helicopter pilots flying combat missions – have proved decisive in helping the military turn around its campaign against Boko Haram in its north-eastern strongholds. The Islamists have now fled many of the towns they once controlled, leading to the freeing of hundreds of girls and women last week who were used by Boko Haram as slaves and bush wives. The role of Col Barlow’s firm in turning around one of the most vicious African insurgencies of modern times has been kept largely quiet by Nigeria’s outgoing president, Goodluck Jonathan, who lost elections six weeks ago to ex-general Muhammadu Buhari. But last week, Col Barlow discussed his company’s role in a seminar at the Royal Danish Defence College, and in a separate interview with a Sofrep.com, a special forces website, he described in detail the “aggressive” strike force that was created to push Boko Haram onto the back foot. “The campaign gathered good momentum and wrested much of the initiative from the enemy,” said Col Barlow, 62. “It was not uncommon for the strike force to be met by thousands of cheering locals once the enemy had been driven from an area.” - See more at: http://afkinsider.com/96020/ageing-white-south-african-mercenaries-bring-boko-harams-reign-of-terror-in-nigeria-to-an-end/#sthash.xc7a0v7x.dpuf

Matthew 22:37-39 37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

man oh man dog this is the message i was attempting to convey. i might not agree with your "hurt them back" response, but i agree with the overall concept. this is where jersey is trying to enlighten me to live above the racism. however much like what you are saying, to act like these -ism's (pick one) doesn't exist is very unwise and there is nothing you can do about someone's feeling toward you. this is the reality michelle obama was conveying to students. the FACT that the real world has -ism's and it even exist in the corporate world. that if they are to be successful, they have to prepare their minds for the struggle so they don't go flying off the handle like some postal worker done wrong and killing everybody. it just the way it is until Jesus replaces this corrupt and sin laden place. the only thing you can effect is how you conduct yourself and how you respond. nelg's response was to bake a cake and take it to the neighbor, loving them and heaping hot coals of fire on their head through acts of kindness. your response was to let folk know you are not to be tread upon. my response was to continue holding my head high, smile in the CFO's face, and wait until he finished belittling himself in a room full of professionals. it is unfortunate for america that its early economic boom happened by creating slavery, propagandizing hate for anyone non-white, and adopting division/segregation into the fabric of national society. that stuff doesn't disappear because somebody creates a new law; people are too impressionable and carry that stuff through generations long after new laws are passed. and so here we are today still having to deal with this mess that they concocted years ago in order to make windfall profits. they breeded an atmosphere of fear and fear is colorblind. jaxinjersey - i get what you are saying my friend. i really do hear your message. and after strong consideration, i do not believe it is sustainable. a person must always understand the matter. like the young men from my church accosted by the cops, the two black fellows need to understand that in this country it is not safe for them to play with toy guns in a store.....they might end up dead. it is not fair, but it is what it is. better is a live dog than a dead lion.

"the amounts were installed based on the number of souls and the number of months that have not been distributed, as well as material prices and the share of per capita". 25.000 at 1166 = $21.44 25.000 at $0.10 = $2.500 25.000 at $0.85 = $21.250 25.000 at $1 = $25.000 25.000 at $1.13 = $28.250 Let's see what happens in 10 days We patiently wait.

Now, if we can just figure out from where they will delete those zero's......another coffee Thugs, one cream one suger and a honey glazed donut please.

Camelslovakian ! :D

Grazie for all your posts Trinity. All much appreciated

Super interesting thread. Grazie Everybody for your contribution.

Thank you Eagle, for sharing your experiences. Hopefully the ground crew learned a valuable lesson that day and did not make that mistake again. Some people need baby steps so please be patient with the slower portion of the white community. I was once grabbed by the throat by a man, in broad daylight outside of a business. Very Scary. I only wish I'd racked him when I had the chance but I was completely stunned. (Try that again and see what happens!) My point is... Shlt happens. To everyone. The difference is... I am not a victim. It doesn't suit me! Honey, I'll get real if you will. I believe you're under the impression I missed your point. I did not. You admonish me to not judge all on the actions of a few. Got it! Kinda like all police officers shouldn't be judged by the few bad apples. Yes... that's a good policy. But I think it is you who have missed my point. CWO was one fictional movie. Find another that is that deranged (and make it from this century, would ya?). I've never understood the "cult" attraction... but then I don't get 'Blazing Saddles' either! How many RAP songs (not just DMX) are there that glorify violence and drip with disrespect? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? It's not a fair comparison because I don't see anyone emulating the degenerate behavior of CWO like I do the gangsta rap. One man's entertainment is another man's inspiration... so to speak. We all know there are injustices and racism in this country... from every conceivable angle. No one is disagreeing with that. What you are failing to comprehend is that blacks most certainly do need to take responsibility for their thug culture message and how MAINSTREAM it is. How does that "Anthem" help anyone? How does destruction and perpetual victimhood help anyone? Let's agree though, that CWO doesn't represent me any more than DMX represents you. I was not getting personal with YOU (or anyone YOU associate with)... I was speaking of the culture that does nothing to remedy the perceptions some in their community invoke in others. Do they want a pass? Or can you, michelle obama and the black community drop the victimization and do as you, yourself have done - practice Personal Responsibility? Preach that to the young people. I guess I'll have to wait for that convo, huh?

Propaganda coming from all corners of media now, it is getting to the point that one can no longer deny it try as they may. Keep pumping the fear and keep everyone cowering in a corner in constant defense posture, while the real news is 180 degrees in the opposite direction. When the majority quit buying what the media is selling, the game will begin to crumble, and those behind it know this. Only way to quit buying it is to stop believing it, which is difficult for most because that requires a re-evaluation of everything one thinks is true. Thank you pluMmet, indeed right on que. Is it really that difficult to notice?

I'm praying Laid Back

She came into the White House with a chip on her shoulder and an ax to grind. As the first lady she should not be out there causing more hard feelings and creating more victims. We would have been proud of the Obama's if they had given us reason. Being the first black President and first lady was important but they have used their position to cause more divisiveness and promote their own agenda not what was good for the country. It makes me sad to see how ashamed and disappointed so many are in them. They had a great opportunity to help make race relations better but have done just the opposite.

ROFLWT!!! +1

that sounds like a great place to end this thread on. +1 my friend. well written.

It is clear that racism, prejudice, envy, and hatred of those that are different than ourselves is deeply ingrained in only one race, and that is the entire human race. Throughout history there are countless examples of atrocities committed by one group against another based on one of these pathetic rationalizations. White vs black, Oriental vs non, Muslim vs non, Lakota vs Pawnee, Hutus vs Tutsis, to name a few but list goes on ad nauseam. It seems to me that until we, the human race, can put aside our prejudices and differences and learn to live together history will continue repeating itself. The names and players may change, but the song will remain the same.

I hear ya Nelg. Growing up Indian in a black and hillbilly neighborhood I could write a book about growing up in extreme violence. The blacks hated me cause I wasnt black and the hillbillys didnt like us cause we wasnt white. Me and my older brother got caught right in the middle. If it wasnt blacks kicking our ass it was the hillbillys. I could literally tell the time a day by who was kicking my ass. hahahahahahaha My dad finaly sat us down and explained. You can live as a sheep and be eaten by the wolves. or you can become wolf hunters. I cannot fight your battles for you. This is where we live and you must learn to make your way through it. So thats what me and my older brother did. We became the wolf hunters. we became so good at it that when people seen us coming down the street black and white would cross the street to avoid us. People this isnt brag its just fact. I a boy who hated violence had learned to accept it as a way of life. I am not proud of it. I guess what Im trying to say is that racism will always be with us. People must learn to deal with the reality of it and the level at which its being presented at you. If someone is trying to hurt you because of the color of your skin then deal with it. Hurt them back. If its simply someone treating you as less . Deal with it. treat them as less. Dont let your whole race go down the tubes on GOVT handouts and then expect to be treated with respect. Dont whine " Oh the neighbors dont like me cause im black, indian or mexican" Screw the Neighbors . In time when you prove them wrong its them that will say "Glad your in the neighborhood" Racisim is something that can only be defeated individually by individuals . The GOVT cant fix everything. !!! We the people must fix it. or learn to deal with it and keep moving forward

I evened ya out Whatshername, to counter the neg for a simple comment................and with a smiley face. I even washed his mouth out with one of those blue dissolving capsules.............i guess he's still eating it.

Do you think that it is only the blacks get treated this way? Certainly not! Ever individual who is suspect in doing something wrong is challenged by police, and rightfully so. Do some police officers get super aggressive? Yes. They have the legal right to show force. Are there black police officers that show aggressive force? Yes. And they have the same authority given them to show force. To think that it is only the black youth who are told how to act when confronted by officers who are doing their duty of enforcing the law, is frankly, a myopic view. Read First Peter concerning how a saint should act when confronted by authority. If a person is doing wrong, that person is going to face the wrath of the civil authorities; and rightfully and legally so. Does abuse happen? Yes! You deal with the abuse of authority and allow the civil authorities of discipline. You do not take judgment into your own hands! To do so spurs more confrontations. And that applies to ALL races, not just the native American, or the Hispanic, or the Caucasian. Does racism exist? Certainly it does. To think it doesn't exist is to have ones head in the sand. Should it exist? Not in the since of racial superiority. Should I be proud of my race? You bet your boots! I don't trust a person who is ashamed of who they are as a person. But it is also true that I should not think my race is superior to another. Are you abused for being white? So am I. Are you judged for being Hispanic? So am I. Are you rejected for being oriental? So am I. Are you resented for being black? So am I. There is no greater bigot than those who think that they are the only ones experiencing these types of rejection and who take it out on everyone else for being "different."

The Patriots Super Bowl Rings are in....

Trinity... I see you just want to continue to feed the racial division, with your personal perspective. From observing your well-intentioned posts, I can see that you mean well... but you're simply viewing through a biased prism. I can respect and understand your personal attachment, but so many others who have similar discrimination experiences via race, gender, etc... can feel the same way. You are not a "special" American... you are simply, American. Until you can recognize that the narrative you endorse MUST be viewed from a colorblind perspective, you are only perpetuating the divide and doing a disservice to the cause of the unity you (we all) seek. I don't think you realize that YOUR perspective is easily viewed as the racist one... and is intellectually dishonest. I can only hope that a person of your obvious intelligence can face the objective truth, and feed the narrative of unity by dismissing your bias. Your opinion and it's impact would have a thousand times more weight if you fought with a colorblind perspective. From one American to another... I wish that for you... and others.

Does She not claim to be an AFRICAN American???? You are obviously a Liberal pantywaste... ... Do You need a tissue???

Thanks DT....It's gettin' time for the Popcorn...

ummmm....nobody can stop a culture. cultures and subcultures exist everywhere and in every facet. what are you saying?? i don't even know what your argument is at this point honestly. do you not know that there is a subculture of caucasian youth who have adopted gangsta rap music? did you know that gangsta rap is primarily created by non-gangsters but is a money making venture. did you not know that hollywood (mainstream) has produced more violent productions than black rappers ever could? where have you been living, under a rock?? you come here spouting off against me trying to educate me about the things i am "failing to comprehend" but you are not bringing "real talk". i don't even know how/where to meet you in dialogue because your facts are skewed. then you come talking as if the black community practices no "Personal Responsibility" and insinuating our lack of "preaching that to the young people". where have you been??? Personal Responsibility Preached to The Young People i'm done here......this thread has exhausted me....simply too many angles to respond too

Thank you BK Sports is one area we should be free from the BS progressive liberal agenda. Whether it's NASCAR informing us how they recycle (doesn't everyone?) or Bob Costas lecturing us on gun control... just give me the score and STFU! I mean, I don't even want to hear it when I agree with him... Bob Costas Decries Gun Culture During Sunday Night Football Halftime, Pro-Gun Twitter Backlash Ensues Bob Costas joined Bill Maher tonight to talk politics, guns, and the politically correct “bullshit” that both of them are getting tired of. Maher brought up Costas’ infamous Sunday Night Football commentary about American gun culture, which Costas completely stood by. He told Maher that of course there are limits on what kind of weapons civilians should get access to, like “cop-killer armor-piercing bullets” or bazookas or tanks. Maher then asked Costas if he thinks politically correct culture is “kind of out of hand,” citing President Obama‘s reluctance to say “Islamic extremism.” Costas said, “You need people on the left to call this bullshit out.” Read more... http://www.mediaite.com/tv/bob-costas-to-maher-liberals-should-be-calling-out-pc-bullsht/ This is when I first noticed it though...

And you think that doesn't happen when you are white? Well it does. I was stopped by a resident in the same neighborhood where I lived for 10 years! I was out walking and taking pictures of birds and flowers (I'm and artist and always looking for material.) Two black officers pulled up in their car and ask me what I was doing. I told them and answered their other questions. They offered to drive me home and I kindly declined. They insisted. I declined again. They ask why I was declining to get in the car so they could take me home. I said, because I'm standing in my own yard! Now, what do you call that? Should I just up and down and cry "racism!" That would be dumb. They were simply responding to a new neighbor's call. We took baked a "cake" and took it over to our new neighbor's home. By the way, they were black as well.

this sounds like an attempt too get folks who own dinar , and look for trends in the speculation that would be a pointer , in the rise in value of the dinar , the dinar seller puts a notice out to get the same folks too do sudden panic buys , just a marketing idea , buy the internal sellers .... in the other idea is I do not think that when or if the dinar actually did go too 1 too 1 or 3 too 1 values the dealers of dinar would stop selling

Just because this particular dealer is doing something like 5.13 doesn't mean that they all are. Check around. I found several sites that are still buying and selling Dinar.

I appreciate your input my friend. Much respect. +1

When you have a currency that is not worth much, you add larger bills. Why would a country have a 25,000 note if the note is only worth about $20 usd? Why add two 25k notes to get a 50,000 note is the value is only $40 usd? It is not logical (of course I don't expect it) nor is it practical. And now individuals on this forum are talking about a 100k iqd? Why? Because the currency has little or no value!! Zimbabwean's largest currency? Since it has no value either: 100,000,000,000,000 !?!?! Of course we all know why. "So they don't need to carry around a lot of bills." And why do they need to carry around a lot of notes? So that can buy bread and milk and whatever for the table. If I had to shop with dinar when I bought groceries last week, I would have had to spend - 250,000 dinar! When you have a currency that is not worth much, you add larger notes; and larger notes; and larger notes, ad infinitum. UNTIL YOU HAVE A CURRENCY WITH VALUE. Value comes from the commodities produced by the country. In the case of Iraq that is oil. Until crude goes up the value for the dinar will stay down. Of course, it they revalue while crude is down then the dinar has a chance to go up. Just as supply and demand control the price of oil (aka Saudi controls), so the value of a currency will (?) rise with the demand for that currency. But we are not talking about a revaluation or devaluation of currency, but making it easier to carry around large amounts of, or pieces of their currency. As in Germany during their inflationary period or in the case of Zimbabwe's multi 0 bills, you only need to carry around 1 or 2 notes and not a wheelbarrow full of notes. But that is not the real solution!! The real solution is to make the value equal to or more than the $1. Value does not come with the amount you carry around with you, but with the power it has to purchase products. Increase the value, not the denominational size of the bills. Simple illustration: Right now I am a multi millionaire as per my IQD, but not in USD standards! Now even if the IQD just went up a .20 per dollar, I am a wealthy man! I would be a multi millionaire. In other words, 50k note is not going to do anything but cut the number of 25k notes they will have to carry around. Well, whoop-ti-do! Big deal. NOTHING CHANGES.

1 Corinthians 2:14 14The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. Proverbs 18:2 2Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions. 1 Corinthians 1:27 27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; It hurts when people don't understand the message that you're trying to get across. I'm no prophet, but I can't help but think that these two cows might represent 14 yrs. What comes after, well all I can say is study the word of God.

i wish you well in your colorless world my friend and i figured you would side-step a direct answer the minute i hit the post button. i look forward to reaching that colorless world upon the Lord Jesus' return. until then i do as my Lord commands, "i send you forth as sheep amongst wolves. therefore, be wise as serpents but harmless as doves." to travel in THIS world my friend, you must assess the situation you are a part of and address it in wisdom. even though i try earnestly to treat all men/women with respect regardless of color, ethnicity or religion, i am fully aware that all do no share my conviction. there are those who initially see me as a menace because they have been conditioned to think so. that is the world that i live in and unless you have lived under the threat of death because of your skin color, please don't lecture or condescend to me about some clouded level of confusion. i can attest to you that i see very clearly what is happening and what has happened. when they first introduced the concept of racial division to poor whites in virginia to make them feel a little higher on the totem pole than the black person in order to sell the concept of slavery. all the way to where we are today. the world is an evil place and the devil is busy and his tool is to divide and conquer. in a world where the rule of law is decided by might, peace and love is the only way. and so i encourage others toward those answers. be blessed my friend

WOW... and after that response, yes... even more serious! You need to look through that prism from the other side... and see all the colors unite, rather than disperse into individual agendas! LOL You MAGNIFY division... rather than treat it objectively. You're overcompensating, which feeds the divide. Why wouldn't you treat EVERYONE the same... and TEACH everyone the same expectations. As all that's highlighted above... this is normal behavior for ANYONE, not exceptional behavior... yet, you feel compelled to racially pronounce it... ON AND ON, as you say. There's more? Really? Everything you just stated, average normal people do everyday without having to "learn". It's NORMAL. The mere fact that you feel compelled to acknowledge such shortcomings as you do, validates your own participation... as well as the divide. Are you saying, that these people you need to teach/advise, can't think or behave on their own? And that by magnifying their behavior, is the only way they can see how they should behave, as a colorless human being? You are shamelessly highlighting this. I will never accept your tolerances... and excuses for such a dividing mentality. You espouse victimization as a curriculum... that is shameful and dishonest. As much as you may think it's reality... your approach will always perpetuate division and further perceptions of inequality. Just remember... as much as inequality exists in the world... America provides equal opportunity. As I said before... your intentions are full of merit. But your methods have no substance. You negate your own efforts. Wow... I'm getting to know you much better Trinity! Why not join in the effort to unite? Lose the chip on your shoulder...

We've had two female presidents in Ireland so far, 9 presidents to date in the past 100 years (Ireland was occupied for about 800 years by the English, before that we had Kings) , their husbands were generally highly respected academics or professionals with careers of their own, much the same for the wife's of the Male presidents. As far as I can remember the the presidents spouse (male or female) is given no title whatsoever ....... They were rarely in the public eye unless it was a social event....... but you seem to do it differently in the US, becoming president means your whole family is elevated to celebrity status with an unlimited credit card and the ability to interfere in anything they want. From over here it looks like It's kinda packaged up as some sort of presidential circus. Which is crazy really, they're elected into office to serve the people ..... not just the people in their family but every family.

I am so tired of this damn bigot. I wish she would simply shut up or start being grateful for what he has and no one else would have because it if paid for by the taxpayer. If she hates this country so much then leave.

looks like obama...naw.... just smells like him.....
