Skip, God Bless you and thank you for not ony for your service to our country but your obvious love for her. I understand your comments and am sensitive to them for I don’t like to see comments such as the “security guard” comment either. That said, we need to get over the sensitivity in regard to such comments while at the same time tolerating the behavior of some Americans of African descent. I am white. It is true some white people are and have been racist. I don’t feel any need to defend them. They don’t define who I am in any way. I think you need to see the “security guard” comment in the same way. just my $.02
I am not sure that I understand what you are saying. “That said, we need to get over the sensitivity in regard to such comments while at the same time tolerating the behavior of some Americans of African descent.” ????
Are you under the impression that I forgive racism from blacks? If so you are seriously mistaken. I have utter contempt for all racists.
I saw the security guard comment as racist. I don’t have to accept that because there are stupid black people who are racists. I thank you for your kind comments, but I think you misunderstand me.
Please don’t think that I will ever simply overlook white racists because there are black racists. That makes absolutely no sense to me.
