Must be a 'Land of Opportunity' thing - God bless him ...
Yep, see it all the time.
In November my black neighbor was flying the US flag, a Trump flag, and the Confederate flag, in that order. His son even has the Confederate flag for curtains in his room. My neighbor is also a pastor of a Baptist church.
I’ll come back after someone else solves the riddle.
That way I don’t have to identify myself as “stupid”.
Lol !!!
There were some college classmates of mine when I was in engineering college in the seventies that were originally from. Nigeria. They had nothing but contempt for the “urban jive culture”. This went as far as reverting to colonial Britishisms. Same for some Kenyans, Jamaicans, and Trinidadians.
Too many American blacks don’t appreciate this country. Most blacks that come here from war torn genocidal countries do.
Interesting - I notice my African neighbor’s kids also listen to modern ‘soul’ music instead of Rap ... just a cultural observation.
My African American neighbor never flys a flag - But my African neighbor does ... Just Sayin
My black brothers in the service who were with me in West Africa get it. You won’t hear any of those dudes put our country down.
I always think of the "Hey Mon!" skit from In Living Couple with the Jamaican family and the father who always said, "What you mean you only got one job? Why you lazy lima bean!"
A friend and native Ghanaian makes frequent visits here from his home country.
He doesn’t have a good thing to say about African Americans. I try to talk him out of it. The “vicious cycle of poverty” argument falls short for some reason. Maybe it’s the rich set of opportunity here and its sharp contrast to scratching a life out of dry ground.
Hmmm…
s/b In Living Color.
Ditto for my friends from Nigeria. Most of the people I’ve met from Africa are great people, who worked hard to come here.
the problem is more the “vicious cycle of government poverty programs”
interesting neighborhood.
The most patriotic person I know is a Ukrainian immigrant.
And the "root cause" was the "Great Society" "War on Poverty" of democrat President, Lyndon Baines Johnson, and his democrat henchmen.
The most successful white supremacists in history.
More proof about how most people in this country have no idea what they have.
LOL!!
Today, some people I know who reside in the midwest posted just what I expected. She is white and married to a black man. She has on her Facebook page an orange and white flag, not our Red, White and Blue flag. She also posted something about how we stole the land from the Indians. I couldn’t stomach the entire article, just the first few lines.
It would not surprise me if people attempt to replace our flag with one such as what she posted.
