The current regime in Washington and its handmaidens in the MSM have done an excellent job of Balkanizing our republic, and setting us at each other's throats. Even here on FR just yesterday, I was shocked and saddened to see the term "spic" being posted by another Freeper. I hadn't heard that since I was boy, when it was applied to me along with other colorful terms such as "Banana Boy," and "Beaner."
I vividly recall life in the U.S. during segregation and the race riots of the 1960s. That's why I never wax nostalgic about "The 60s" along with my contemporaries. It's was a time of drugs, violence, extreme racial animus, and entanglements in foreign wars without end. Looks like we've lost our way, and come full circle. God help us all. It's going to be a long national nightmare this time around.
Wow, thanks for sharing, PowderMonkey. We're in Arizona and my kids love it here. They've not been subjected to racism that I'm aware of but we live in an area that's just full of good and decent people.
When we were in South Florida, it seemed that everyone around us had Latino heritage of some kind.
This was in New York - a liberal mecca. Says a lot, doesn't it?
