I'm lost and confused by all of this....
I grew up during segregation and it was a hard time for everyone to sort out.
As remember, it was lots of fighting. If a fight broke out, the blacks were honor bound to help blacks and whites fought with the whites. It was a tough time to be black as it was about a 10% to 90% split.
It took me years to learn that black guys were the same as me, only a different color. I'm serious, until I got out of school I didn't know anything about black guys other than fighting with them.
After school I started working with some black guys and discovered they wanted what I wanted.They had wives and families and just wanted a chance to make a good live for them.
They hunted and fished just like I did. Working in a coal mine is hard work and every black guy I knew pulled his weight. I learned not only to enjoy their companionship, I learned to respect them as men.
These young blacks that are running wild and the folks that are taking a knee to show they hate the country are digging up a snake.
I worry this is going to blow back on my neighbors. Marion county is 38% black.
We have no protests, we have no riots. We have good families raising their kids.
I fear for their safety.
I wish their was a real black leader that I could set down with a plead with him to make the protesters understand what they are doing.
As a Mason I have taken a solemn oath to treat all men equal but all this madness is starting to effect me. Every day I hope it will stop..... but every day it is something new.
I fear we are going to end up in 1950 again. It almost seems like these protesters want a shooting war. Have they live in their inner city so long that they do not realize that they are a minority and that a minority is not the side you want to be on in a shooting war?
I now work overseas, a lot of third world countries. The folks here living on government help have no ideal what their life could be like. The poorest of the poor here would be considered rich in Mozambique.
I guess I'm rambling but I truly am worried.
The gentleman who works on the internet here at the farm is black.
He was out a few weeks ago. As he was leaving he said that he was worried that there was a race war coming and said if one started he was coming to our farm to hide with his family.
We both laughed but there was a little bit of truth.
He knows I have a stock pile of food, guns and ammo to keep it.
It makes me wonder if he does not wish these folks would quit acting up before it blows back on him
All this makes me sad
