Discrimination will always exist. I always discriminate against strawberry whenever cherry vanilla ice cream is available.

Every day in every way when I have a preference for one thing versus another, I thus discriminate.

Now I believe you mean "racial discrimination", if so then say what you mean without the broad brushstrokes.

Coercion and/or violence will never change the human heart in to one of greater love and understanding; it only breeds more hatred and violence.

Coerce me to knee, coerce me to say black lives matter, violently and physically attack me; you might get me to submit but you are certain to generate a long lasting hatred.

Why would anyone want to generate more hatred in this world, especially while espousing a love of peace? Ulterior motives perhaps?

There is a difference , not so obvious to some, between commemorating an individual or an event and celebrating that individual or event. You can't change history but you don't have to applaud what happened!

There were some slave who had to pick the apples so we should stop eating apple pie. Would say pecan pie but they come from Ga so thats out.

Guess we can go to cherry pie but we have to do a study of this so it might be a few years for that so guess we better get together and stop eating pie.

exactly...not until people wake up and stop pandering to a few that are bent on pulling our nation down, brick by brick

I guess a protest of GRIT TV would be in order? There is no telling where all this nonsense will end?

This violence is about $$$$$$$$$ and power, nothing else. Pure and simple extortion. Where is the concern and anguish about the black carnage in Chicago every weekend? Silence. Where is the concern and anguish about the millions of black babies aborted? Silence. Where is the concern and anguish about the putrid level of education that most young blacks get in inner city schools? Silence. But I thought Black Lives Matter? Apparently not. Only when money and power can be extorted do black lives matter. Hundreds of millions of dollars are now being funneled to black organizations from the government, from corporations, from individuals. BLM is an organization that has tapped into the mother lode of white guilt, liberalism and political correctness. BLM spent over $1 million on consultants and travel last year. This movement will not help blacks at all. It’s just Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson on steroids! We’re being conned because a rotten cop took down a really bad criminal with excessive force. And a lot of money and power is changing hands because of it. Not a bad con if you can get away it. And they are.

I totally agree. I believe that slavery was wrong and racism is wrong but the insanity that is happening right now is not going to fix either of them.

The government pays too well. They all just sitting around thinking of everything that bothers them. They should be working.

I've enjoyed almost every single one of John Wayne's movies. :thumbup:

If the naming of the airport (which I find one of the easiest to get in and out of and love its close proximity to an Embassy Suites, which is great for family travel) is based on his work in film...I have no problem with it.

However, to be fair, the plaque on the statue should also, IMHO... include his racist/bigoted/xenophobic personal viewpoints.

Think of it as..."truth in advertising." :shrug:

The same should apply to Sen. Robert Byrd's statue in the senate halls...:shrug:

Fair enough.

Also for Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms? :ho:

As for those not in the halls, the list should start with George Wallace/Lester Maddox/Brigham Young/Rick Perry/Etc./Etc. :shrug:

Can you refer me to the sites where black woman and families are sad because they can’t pose for the roll of Aunt Jemima. I’m always looking for a funny story

Sorry, but the story is not funny.
