No where on this thread does anyone write this was done as a race crime.

Jackie Robinson statue destroyed: Wichita police make first arrest, believe crime wasn't hate-motivated - CBSSports.com

Link to story.

Re-read all talt's posts. Disagree with your assessment.

Completely agree(with fdp's disagreement) - nothing racist about the theft, nothing racist about talt's posts.

Thanks!

Thanks. My sister-in-law's first son was in the Robin Williams' movie August Rush. Black kid in wheelchair who walks fine in the story as well as in real life as far as I know. My younger brother married a former SEAL support team member. That is one of her kids.

I have heard a lot from them about mixed marriages and they got a lot of grief from both her family and some from ours. It was more though their experiences here in the Villages. This was ten or more years ago. My younger brother lived here in the Villages for a year and a half.

And many of the home care people we get are African-American. From all different places though as far as ethnic background.

Mixed marriages can have lots of challenges. Sadly, you finally found that person that you want to spend your life with because they bring you such joy, and family, friends, society at large has to make waves when they should be happy for you for finding your special one.

Things seem better out there now. Get a lot of information from the various home care aids we have had the past three years. Many of these are part African American with a lot of mixes. And many have been here in the Villages area for most of their lives.

Of course, they may be telling me what I would like to hear.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how comfortable they feel with you. Care givers have to be careful to not cross certain boundaries. Not the same as having a good friend who can give you the honest answer you really want or need even though it might hurt. Those friends are very special.

From what countries in Africa did they emigrate?
