TV is mostly a relaxed, peaceful place filled with retirees who are there because they want to play pickle ball, golf and make friends with others going through the same life stage. I have no room in my heart for all of this nasty controversy and I refuse to be embroiled in it.

where there were a lot of good people on both sides , last ke the guy who plowed his car into crowd killing a woman or the candlelight march with a he chant of the Jews will not replace it which was muted by Fox need until they had to play the audio, y s let’s just show clean cut white guys without h sting message

I actually saw the video on Forbes. There was a comment from somebody asking whether TV was a trailer park for old people!

That would have been interesting

I wouldn’t want to be the guy caught on the video doing the shouting.

What the "news" didn't show you was that the lady in BLM shirt was walking up to each cart and saying " F U, Fing Nazis" Later she is interviewed and tells how it is so hard for her to live in TV.

The media is a complete joke. They don't report stories, they push agendas.

I don't think that the golf cart parade was the least bit wrong or controversial. In this country we are allowed to show support for a candidate.

What was wrong was the way that some of the people began speaking to each other. Standing on the sidelines and hurling nasty insults at others, getting in their faces, standing in front of their golf carts to the point of actually touching their golf carts was not o.k. The nasty "White power!" remark made back was equally not o.k. It also had nothing to do with the nature of the parade - which was simply to show support for our president during a rather horrific time in our country.

If it wasn't for this woman standing in the middle of the street trying to disrupt a peaceful golf cart parade, while she yelled profanities there wouldn't of been any news. The fellow who yelled "White Power" was in retaliation to her yelling 'Where's your Hood. You say nasty things, and you'll get nasty things right back in your face. Can you image wearing a T-Shirt that said, Veterans while riding in your own golf cart, and having this woman jump out in front of you and shouting nasty things right in your face!!

If retweeted and mentioned, it would have been.

Today I was enjoying a lovely morning in New York. That quickly changed while watching a segment on Good Morning American which portrayed The Villages as a racist community. In the last few hours, I have received text messages from friends and family local and far who are aware that my husband and I own a place in The Villages. It seems that this particular segment was based on the voice of one person; however, it was not reported that way. And...I have a feeling that if this individual could take back his comment, he would do so. Can someone in the know shed light on what actually happened? I am certain there are many of us watching from afar who would appreciate honest information.

what about the other lady in the pink shirt at the end of the video shouting into every passing cart eat pus......sy equally shameful. I still can't believe this actually happened...

At this point the damage is done. Thanks to President Trump, the entire video was posted for the world to see. He used the video for his personal needs and the media, both the so called "Fake News" and Fox News, used it for their personal needs. The only need of mine is how it makes us Villagers look to the world and the effect is has on the value of my house.
I wish all of this would stop.

It seems no one wants to own up to the fact that the president started this thing and knew who was going to like this among his followers, and like usual denies the whole thing . I was at the memorial service at 2 pm everyone was respectful no anti trump signs , there were people there who I know are Republicans . We all knelt or tried to for the over 8 minutes it took George to die , the service was over at 2:30! I was one of last to leave the bandstand because of catching up with an old friend when I got to Barnes and Noble parking lot to get in my car the golf cart parade was still forming at 3pm It’s been said and I’ve overheard the last couple of weeks that this was a spillover from out memorial , nothing could be father from the truth

[QUOTE=Michael Charles;1794395]This morning I checked my email and there were 6 emails from family and friends wondering what kind of community TV is after they saw the news last night.

Anybody else get some surprising questions from friends and family that know nothing of TV?[/QUOTE]
I have lived in the Villages for 13 years. I have loved living here. Now I am ashamed!
Two of my family and friends, that I have been pushing to buy here. Called to say that they would never think of buying here.

It would not surprise me if this was the last golf cart parade, or even parade, allowed within the confines of TV. We have a large group of black residents who live very quietly and keep to themselves. These are not people from the lower level of the income scale, they are professionals who just want what we all want, to live in a safe and beautiful place. I don't think they should be subjected to hearing someone scream racial slurs.

But then, I'm a pollyanna. I believe we all have the right to be treated in a decent manner no matter what color is our skin. I was lucky to have parents who were color blind and we brought our children up the same way. If the person screaming White Power was blind he would have no idea of black or white! It is learned behavior and has no place in our world.

That video was out there way before Trump tweeted it. I do think that it's important to see how citizens having a lawful parade in support of our president are being attacked and abused by "protesters". This is beginning to reach voter intimidation levels which is illegal last I heard.
