Sometimes it does...
I was raised as part of an enlisted Navy man's family. In San Diego, we lived in housing, next door to blacks, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Filipinos. We were a minority on our block.
It didn't matter. Every mom kept an eye on the kids, and every dad was likely to administer a quick rebuke, or more. I learned to enjoy arroz con pollo, and jambalaya. My dad made home brew, and root beer for us kids. I remember many a night waking to the sound of popping caps, under my bed. They were everywhere (this was navy folk, ya know!).
We had good times , and respect for each other.
These days, skin color is not keeping us apart. It is more the result of gum't intervention in life! From placing armed troops on the door of a high school, to giving job preferences to ANYONE, not better qualified... the world is being shaped to make us butt heads. Fortunately, I can choose which side of the street, upon I wish to walk. I reserve the right to cross anytime I want, when I don't wish to comport with any one or many!
I just wish we could rid the world of sex perversion and obsession. When the word "gay" refers to perverts in penis costumes, and NAMBLA is a known entity...Someone is laughing, in the depths of the earth! Many of our politicians are laughing, as they take us down the dark path! How do we make it change, except through prayer. There doesn't seem to be any political opposition.
Come quickly, Lord...
