If I'm listening or interacting with someone and they use the words: fraught, colonialism, systemic, internalized, or climate change I immediately know where they are coming from and not to waste time on them.

He said that, what, almost 30 years ago? And it seems things are worse now than then. And the poor guy drowned at 47!

From Wikipedia--

>>On August 23, 2012, King's autopsy results were released, stating he died of accidental drowning. The combination of alcohol, cocaine, and PCP found in his system were contributing factors, as were cardiomegaly and focal myocardial fibrosis. The conclusion of the report stated: "The effects of the drugs and alcohol, combined with the subject's heart condition, probably precipitated a cardiac arrhythmia, and the subject, incapacitated in the water, was unable to save himself."

Al Sharpton delivered the eulogy at King's funeral.<<

Lately I see commercials geared for specific types of people. So when I see a commercial advertising a product, & at the end of the commercial I see 2 guys kissing, I vow to never purchase that product. GARY

Ignorance of history and minorities with an outsized voice in our government driving a wedge between caucasian Americans and everyone else who live here is what is fueling a likely second hot domestic war that no one but the rich white folks in charge of the institutions of government will benefit from.

Read that twice, slowly.
