Picture yourself in their shoes; everywhere they go they get nothing but grief. Why is FreeRepublic.com one of those places? I dunnow but it bums me out.
I see these little black men 4 - 10 years old amazed that I'm interacting with Mom or Dad in a helpful way, Holy crap? He's one of them, a white guy.
I'll take the knarliest most intimidating black guy with nose rings and tats anyday over the screwball jihadist. I just wish my fellow FReepers understood why.
I'm one of those black dads who married my children's mother, and who has provided for, and raised them under my own roof.
These kinds of conversations bum me out, too.
Sadly, ignorance is in great supply, even here at FR.
