California isn’t golden for everyone
Sacramento Bee ^ | December 04, 2017 | John Kim And and Robert K. Ross

There’s a story we often tell ourselves in California – a story about a state that is home to a uniquely diverse population and where everyone is welcome and has an opportunity to succeed.

It’s an affirming and reassuring story for Californians, particularly at a time when our national politics have been hijacked by divisiveness and discord. It is a point of pride to embrace our leadership of the “resistance” to that rising tide of hate.

Then came the more explicitly race-based and race-baiting policies of the 1980s and 1990s, including ballot measures that denied services to undocumented immigrants


Which would have resulted in there being more resources available for legal California residents.

I do NOT miss living in CA one tiny bit - except MAYBE for the weather.

But then, 72 and Sunny every. damn. day. gets old for those of us that love Four Distinct Seasons. (Great gig for a Weatherman!)

I lived there from 1980-1982. I lived in Imperial Beach, pretty much 20 feet from Tiquana, MX. Even the illegals didn’t want to live where I lived back then, LOL!

Their goal is to use the power of the state to ensure outcomes of every aspect of life and society are equal, by race.

In the long run the ONLY way to achieve that objective is to kill all the white people.

She. Keep lived in California I knew many blacks that blamed the illegals for taking their jobs and opportunities, and I believe rightly so.

I wonder if these crack reporters understand that to be “diverse” means to be “divided” and divisiveness is the Natural byproduct of DIVERSITY???

Everybody is welcomed except Conservatives and Constitutionalists.

Meanwhile, the state is being driven into the ground with debt and bad management.

Many people are leaving this beautiful state because of the racial communists.

But I was born and raised here.

And I’ll stay and fight them to my last breath.

I was raised there...I still want a second home there...

I miss it so much.

We can be the Golden State again if we’re ever cured of the Brown Rot disease.

How is that going for you?

Born and lived there most of 59 years, until bailing out. The firearms laws were already becoming insane and illegals everywhere.

11+ years away now, and I have to laugh at the death spiral the state is in, and seems to revel in it.

I’m in the valley so it’s not as bad as some other places.

And NOBODY pays any attention to the gun laws.

But somebody has to stay and fight. This place is worth fighting for. It’s the most beautiful, richest cut of land in the world.

That is undeniable.

“So even as enormous wealth was created, the people benefiting from California’s prosperity were overwhelmingly white and already rich”

I benefited by putting myself through college and working six days a week for the last 40 years. Still working and will continue to do so. Being white has nothing to do with it.

More power to you. I lived in California for 50 years and left for Oregon 2 years ago. The fight was overwhelming and draining my energy. Wished I had left sooner. Good Luck to you friend.
