doubtful that we'll see any angry mobs going after the statues in TV ...but you might get the odd never-do-well jerk with a spray can and nothing better to do than sneak around late at night to do some painting....

Does she have to be on a black horse?

What about a transgender black cowgirl?

Actually should be a non-binary or genderless cow-something or other riding a zebra.

Rainy days ...... rainy days ..... always brings out the best of TOTV.

You're missing the point. One of the criteria of being a member of the confederacy is - you have to have been a resident of one of the confederate states, or actively serving the confederacy at the time the confederacy existed. Does that mean everyone living there was a confederate? Nope. But it means if you were NOT living in the confederacy, and your ancestors were not actively serving the confederacy, then you and your family cannot possibly have been a confederate.

Schwartz's family was not from the south, and his family weren't even in the USA at the time of the Confederacy his father's side of the family was still in Hungary - and therefore weren't capable of being members of the confederacy.

Not prejudice. Mathematical deduction: "If you want B to be true, then A must also be true. If A is not true, then B cannot be true."

Not for a while...that's for sure.

But given all of the studies of the younger generations being less racist/bigoted/xenophobic/misogynistic/Etc., I still hold hope (even if it's after I'm gone)...that things will get better.

That's of course, after all of those who admire, follow and sympathize with lowlife scumbags like Richard Spencer....become a negligible minority. :thumbup:

Hunting season closed for 2 weeks .
 

I think we should tell our police officers to not shoot anyone for 2 weeks . Ask them to spend more time at the doughnut shop .

Hmm is that a zebra with black stripes or white ones? Never could figure that one out.

Hmm, a long horn steer? Perhaps it will have to go because a Black Angus might feel slighted.

Thank you!
 

Thank you for making the point about segregation. You are correct. My point is that it is no longer the law of the land. The segregation that exists is more related to level of wealth or lack of it, education or lack of it, people of similar cultures living in areas where they feel welcome.
When my family, German and French, emigrated to this country, they lived in "little Germany" or the French area of town. Poor and lacking the ability to speak good English, that is where they settled. Second generation was told to speak without the accent and to get all the education they could so they could get out of the ghetto and have a better life. "Difficult to escape areas", difficult, yes, but not impossible, as some would have you believe. I have lived in good and bad places, I have felt suspicion and discrimination, so I feel, right or wrong, that I have at least a slight understanding of someone experiencing those things might feel.
The train to mutual respect, understanding and truly coming together as a nation united is not a "bullet train". It moves slower than many would like and faster than some can comprehend, but it is moving in the right direction and will continue to do so if the vandals will stop trying to tear up the tracks.
Stay safe. Stay well. Peace!

Watch some nature shows. They will tell you.

Sorry, that is about as snarky as I can get.
Stay safe. Stay well. Peace!

My image of the graph of attractiveness just went south. Thanks, I guess?

I like the zebra image. Black and white zebras matter!
To Mr 0580.....good post. Good historic play-by-play about the ethnic blending. Yes, nothing to be gained by vandalizing. It sets all good causes back.

Silly question. This is 2020 not 1818. Majority of black of course.

Thank you for sharing a bit more history of our Villages founder. But please don’t be disappointed if facts are bypassed for convenient fantasy though.
