“That’s true of some blacks, bray, but not all. Please don’t paint us all with the same brush.”
That’s true. I’m white and I grew up in a small town in NW Alabama in the 70’s and 80’s.
Many Non-Southerners are incredibly ignorant and bigoted against Southerners. Even a few on FR, unfortunately. They would be surprised to know that in my town Blacks and Whites got along very well with no problems.
In fact, the lady I refer to as my “second Mother” was Black. She would babysit my older sister and I and she would do some cooking and cleaning. We loved her and considered her a member of the family. She even was the first to carry me inside our home when I came home from the hospital after my birth. Sadly, we lost her this past September when she went home to Heaven.
My point is, when I was growing up in the late 70’s and 80’s, we never thought about race. I have black friends from my town whom I still converse with on Facebook. One of them is a female veteran who has no use for the race baiters. A few months ago she posted an epic rant against them on Facebook; it was glorious:) She doesn’t suffer fools gladly and states her opinion.
It’s so discouraging to see the insanity that has become our country. I certainly don’t regard all Blacks as violent. There are idiots and racists in all races. I want to let you and the other Black posters on FR know that if I post something angry against BLM or certain agitators (hello, obama) I’m not disparaging all blacks.
My family background is Russian and Irish so I have a temper:) Sometimes in situations like tonight, I speak very bluntly and harshly. When I do that, please understand that it’s not against you or an average black person. It’s against the idiots such as the ones who are posting racist, violent tweets against whites.
I’m sorry for the long winded, awkward post. I wanted to let you know that I enjoy your posts on FR and don’t be discouraged by another Freeper.

Thanks for the heartfelt post, CTg.
I started out life in a racially desegregated environment, and have never had a *thing* on race, my entire life. Thank goodness that evil was never baked into my psyche.
Glad to hear you escaped it too :-)
I’m sorry for the long winded, awkward post.
