NERO BURNED DOWN ROME, "I LOVE HATERS" TRUMP, AGAIN BLAMES "BOTH SIDES" IN CHARLOTTESVILLE. NO MORAL EQUIVALENT! HOW LONG WILL YOU KILL YOUR AMERICAN PROPHETS? --BOB MARLEY. OUR SONS AND OUR DAUGHTERS WILL BE PROPHETS AND PROPHETESSES IN MOUNT ZION. HEATHER DIED FIGHTING FOR THE THINGS SHE LOVED, JUSTICE, EQUALITY, LOVE, TOLERANCE, INCLUSIVENESS, AND FOUGHT THOSE THINGS SHE HATED, INTOLERANCE, HATE, BIGOTRY, RACIMS, ANTI-SEMITISM, AND OTHER FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION. THE WORLD, CHEERED AS HER MOTHER, CHALLENGED, EVERYONE, TO STAND UP FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN. THEY DON'T HAVE TO DIE, BUT, FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT! SHE SAID, THIS IS NOT THE END OF HER DAUGHTER'S LEGACY . . . WHEN YOU SEE INJUSTICE OR INTOLERANCE, STAND FOR THE GOOD, THE RIGHT, THE GOOD FIGHT! TAKE THAT PASSION YOU HAVE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD. YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN, THAT SPARK, THE DRIVE, TO MAKE CHANGES AND MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE, THAT ACTION, DO SOMETHING, HAVE THAN UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE. STAND AND BE COUNTED! WHEN CONFRONTATIONS ARISE, LISTEN, TALK, CONVERSE, AND GROW. NEVER GIVE INTO HATE, TO FEAR, TO ANGER . . . BUT, TAKE RIGHTEOUS ACTION, TO STOP IT! LAST NIGHT, BALTIMORE, REMOVED, 4 CONFEDERATE STATUES. THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE KILLED DURING THE CIVIL WAR, THAN ALL OTHER WARS, PUT TOGETHER! WE ARE NOT GOING THERE AGAIN! RACIAL TENSION, COST US ANOTHER, YOUNG SACRIFICIAL LAMB! WHEN WILL WE STOP FIGHTING THE BATTTLES OF THE PAST? IF WE DON'T LEARN FROM HISTORY, WE WILL FOREVER REMAIN A CHILD. WHEN, I WAS A CHILD, I PLAYED WITH CHILDISH THINGS, BUT WHEN I BECAME A MAN, I PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS. PEOPLE KEEP SAYING LET TRUMP BE TRUMP? WE SEE WHAT THAT IS. UNAMERICAN. OLD. OUTDATED. COMPLEX. BEWARE, IT IS AGAINST THE LAW! BIGOTRY, RACISM, SEXISM, XENOPHOBIA, DISCRIMINATION, AGISM, AND HATE CRIMES, HATE SPEECH ARE AGAINST THE LAW! DUMP IT! DUMP TRUMP! AS THE WORLD WATCHES, I AM SURE, OVER THE DECADES AND CENTURIES, THEY HAVE SAID: YOUR SENSE OF DIRECTION IS TERRIBLE BUT YOU NEVER GOT LOST! OUR GUIDING LIGHT, IS THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, IT IS OUR LIGHT ON A SHINY HILL, OR MOORING IN A STORM, THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH WE ALL STAND, AND WHEN HE, IN HISTORY, MAKE TERRIBLE CHOICES, IT IS THE DOCUMENT TO BRING US BACK ON TRACK, SO WE "NEVER" GET LOST! THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WAS FOUNDED ON THE PRINCIPLES THAT PROTECT THE MINORITY, THE CHALLENGED, THE IMMIGRANT, THE DISABLED! THIS MORNING AS TEARS WERE STREAMING DOWN MY FACE, HAPPY AT THE SAME TIME, AT THE BRAVERY OF THIS MOTHER, SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF HER DAUGHTER, WHO WILL NOT DIE IN VAIN, AS A RESULT OF THE HATRED OF ANOTHER, I COULD NOT HELP, AFTER HEARING, TRUMP, REAFFIRM HIS COMMITMENT TO HATE GROUPS, EMPOWERING, WHITE SUPREMACISTS, NEO-NAZI'S, NATIONALISTS, ANTI-SEMITES, THE KKK, AND OTHERS, IT REMINDED ME OF THE LITTLE GIRL WITH PIGTAILS, STANDING WITH HER HANDS ON HER HIPS, DRESS ON, LEGS FIRMLY PLANTED AND FACING DOWN THE GOLDEN BULL OF WALL STREET! IS OUR MORAL COMPASS IN AMERICA, GOING TO BE THE GOLDEN RULE? OR THE GOLDEN, RULE? WE ARE SEEING THE DIFFERENCE. ARE WE GOING TO LOOK TO THOSE, WHO, WOULD HAVE US DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT WE WOULD HAVE DONE TO US? THE QUOTE I LOVE BEST, FROM PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN, NOTE A REPUBLICAN, MAN HAVE TIMES CHANGED, SAID, THAT HE WOULD NOT WANT TO BE A SLAVE, THEREFORE, HE DIDN'T WANT ANY MAN TO BE A SLAVE! HE PAID THE PRICE OF HIS BELIEFS WITH HIS LIFE, OVER FIGHTING THE BIGOTRY AND HATRED OF SLAVERY, AND FIGHTING THE CONDERATE FORCES, THAT WE ARE FINALLY SEE, BEING PUT TO REST! SO, PRESIDENT LINCOLN, A FAVORITE ICON AND PRESIDIDENT ALONG WITH REAGAN, THE LINCOLN REAGAN DINNERS OF THE GOP, COULD SEE THE HORRORS OF SLAVERY, WHAT MAN COULD DO TO OTHER MEN AND WOMEN, CHILDREN TOO, WHEN THEY SAW THEM AS PROPERTY, TO DO WHAT THEY WILL WITH THEM. HERE WE ARE IN 2017, AND PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN'T SEE, THE HORRORS OF THE PAST? WHAT THE FUCK? SOME YOUNG MAN, WHO WAS PRESENT AT THE INCIDENT IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, OVER THE WEEKEND, SAID: "i'M SEEING MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER'S HORRORS TODAY." PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A RACIST, PLAIN AND SIMPLE . . . NO BONES ABOUT IT, AS IS OUR, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL, JEFF SESSIONS AND OTHERS IN THIS ADMINSTRATION. WHAT ARE WE WILLING TO SACRIFICE TO CONTINUE, TO BE LEAD ASTRAY, BY, THIS SHIT CLOWN SHOP OF LITTLE HORRORS AND WHORES? I HAVE SEEN MY SISTER, SHELLEY, ACTUALLY, RIGHT THERE WITH TRUMP AND JARED KUSHNER, PROBABLY, MOST LIKELY, WITH NO OTHER CREDENTIALS, TO USE BUT FOR MINE, THAT WOULD QUALIFY HER IN ANY RESPECT, TO BE EVEN SEEN IN WASHINGTON, D.C., TELLING TRUMP, THAT, THE CONSTITUTION IS A COMPROMISE. IT WAS AT THE TIME IT WAS WRITTEN AND SIGNED, BUT ONCE, IT BECAME THE LAW OF THE LAND, IT IS NO LONGER A COMPROMISE AND COMPROMISE WE WILL NOT DO. I AM SURE THAT HAZEL NUT, TOOK SOMETHING SHE READ FROM MY BLOG AND HER STUDIES OF ME, FOR YEARS, AND THOUGHT, THAT, AND ADVICED THE PRESIDENT, THAT, WE NEED TO COMPROMISE AND HOLD, BOTH SIDES ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS SHIT? NO. WHITE SUPREMACY IS WRONG. THE ALT-RIGHT IS ALL WRONG. THOSE PROTESTING AGAINST WRONG ARE RIGHT! BEWARE, IT IS THE LAW! MARCHING WITH TORCHES, WITH MASKS, WITH NAZI FLAGS, WEARING CAMO, AND ARMED WITH WEAPONS, IS NOT A PEACEFUL PROTEST OF TAKING DOWN THE CONFEDERATE STATUES, ESPECIALLY, WHEN, THERE WAS ONLY ONE PERSON ARRESTED THAT EVEN LIVED IN CHARLOTTESVILLE! THE FIRST AMENDMENT, STATES CLEARLY, THAT TO ASSEMBLE, THE GROUP, WHO ARE ADDRESSING THEIR GRIEVANCES WITH THEIR GOVERNMENT, THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, CAN ONLY DO SO, IN A PEACEFUL MANNER! THAT WAS NOT THE CASE, THESE ARE "NOT" NICE PEOPLE, NOR WERE THEY JUST SOME SUNDAY GROUP OF THOSE OPPOSING, THE REMOVAL OF THE STATUES! THEY WERE NOT IN HISTORY, THEY ARE NOT NOW! JUST SAY NO TO TRUMP, AND SAY NO TO NAZI'S, TO THE KKK, TO WHITE SUPREMACISTS, TO WHITE NATIONALISTS, AND TO ANTI-SEMITES! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN ANY CITY, U.S.A.! IT IS AGAINST THE LAW, WHAT YOU ARE PROMOTING! IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR CAVES, IN YOUR SWAMPS, UNDER THE ROCKS YOU CAME OUT OF . . . YOU CAN BELIEVE, FUCKING ANYTHING, YOU WANT TO BELIEVE, UNTIL YOU COME OUT IN THE LIGHT OF DAY, AND THEN, YOU MUST, OBEY THE LAW OF THE LAND, THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND! THE PROPER WAY FOR THESE GROUPS TO STOP THE REMOVAL OF THE CONFEDERATE STATUTES, IS TO, HAVE ATTENDED THE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS, AND SPOKEN YOUR PIECE, IN PEACE, IF THAT IS POSSIBLE FOR HATE MONGERS! WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FORM OF GOVERNMENT, WITH PEOPLE SITTING IN CONGRESS, STATES LEGISLATURES, ON COUNTY COMMISSIONS, CITY COUNCILS, TOWNSHIP COUNCILS, AND OTHER FORMS OF GOVERNMENT, DIVISIONS, THAT, ARE ELECTED, TO DEAL WITH ISSUES AND PROBLEMS, CHANGES AND REMOVALS, IN A PEACEFUL, LEGISLATIVE, ORDERLY WAY, TAKING THE COMMENTS AND HOLDING HEARINGS AFTER, THERE HAS BEEN SUFFICIENT NOTICE GIVEN TO PEOPLE OF BOTH SIDES, SO THEY CAN SPEAK THEIR MINDS, BUT AFTER THE COUNCILS HAVE VOTED, TO REMOVE, THAT IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY! THERE IS NOT NEED FOR VIOLENCE, FOR CLASHES, FOR FURTHER, VIOLENCE AND AS ONE OF THE NEO-NAZI'S SAID, THERE WILL BE MORE BLOODSHED AND DEATH? OH, NO THERE WILL NOT. WE SEE YOUR FUCKING UGLY ASS GAMES AND WE DON'T WANT IT IN OUR TOWNS, CITIES, COUNTIES, STATES AND NATION . . . YOU ARE NOT, WELCOME ANYWHERE! BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT, BUT, STAY THE FUCK OUT OF TOWN! SHELLEY, DRESSED UP AS ME, OR ONE OF THE THREE MOUSKETEARS, HAS, A SON WHO IS A FUCKING NEO-NAZI, AND HER HUSBAND, AKA, THROUGH ME, BY PROXY, ALLAN REX BESS, AB OR FRANK OF INTERPOL, IS A FUCKING NAZI, SYMPATHIZERS, HATED PRESIDENT OBAMA, SO MUCH SO, THAT AFTER HIS RANT, THAT I NEVER KNEW, OR HEARD HIS TRUE FEELINGS, SINCE HE AND SHELLEY, MURDERED MY CLIENT, MUCH LIKE THEY WANT TO KILL ME, AND FRANK OF DIA, TOOK, ALLAN'S PLACE WITH THE INTENT OF KILLING ME AND HAVING SHELLEY BE ME . . . SO TRUMP, A DUMB ASS STUMP, WITH NO TRAINING, NOR WITH AN CURIOSITY OF ON THE JOB TRAINING, IS FOLLOWING, NAZI ASSHOLES, WHO ARE TEAMING WITH RUSSIA, TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD, USING MY MONEY AND MY FAMILIES MONEY! CELEBRATE THE GOOD FOOD. GOOD FEELS GOOD! OH, BEFORE I FORGET, THERE IS A GREAT MOVIE, AND I AM REMINDED, BECAUSE THE WOODLAND PARK METHODIST CHURCH, ON GREENWOOD AND 78TH, IS SHOWING, THE MOVIE, BASED ON ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISSIE'S LIFE, THE PATRON SAINT THAT, THE CURRENT POPE, FRANCIS, TOOK HIS NAME . . . IT IS CALLED, "BROTHER SUN, SISTER MOON" AND IT IS ABOUT HOW, FRANCIS, THROWS OFF THE YOKE OF THE WEALTH OF HIS FATHER, AND HE FOLLOWS JESUS CHRIST, AND SETS UP A SIMPLE CHURCH OUT IN THE WILDERNESS, AND HE AND HIS DISCIPLES TEND TO THE POOR. AT ONE POINT, HE AND HIS MEN, TRAVEL TO ROME TO MEET THE POPE, AND ALL THE ROBED, AND JEWELED PRIESTS, BISHOPS, AND MEN OF THE CLOTH, LOOK DOWN, ON THIS BAND OF SIMPLE MEN, WHO PROSTRATE THEMSELVES BEFORE THE POPE. THE POPE THEN SILENCES THEM ALL, HE TAKES OFF HIS RING AND HE PUTS IT ON FRANCIS'S FINGER, AND LET'S THE VATICAN, AND ITS OCCUPANTS, KNOW, THAT IT IS FRANCIS, NOT THEM, WHO IS PRACTICING TRUE RELIGION, THAT OF THEIR EXEMPLAR AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST! THE CHURCH IS SHOWING THE MOVIE, AND OLD 70'S MOVIE, BUT IT IS WRITTEN BY ZERPHYRELLI OR SOMEONE LIKE THAT, WHO DID SHAKERSPEARE'S "ROMEO & JULIET" ANOTHER LOVE STORY, AS IS THIS! THE CHURCH IS SHOWING THE MOVIE, I THINK, AT 11:00 AM, THIS SUNDAY! YEAH, I DON'T HAVE TO VIOLATE, CURFEW AT THE HAMMOND HOUSE, THAT IS WHERE I RESIDE, RIGHT NOW! BUT, I AM SURE THAT, MANY FILM SERVICES, LIKE NETFLIX AND OTHERS, WOULD HAVE THE MOVIE, AS WOULD, POSSIBLY YOUR LIBRARIES! THIS MOVIE WILL CHANGE YOUR HEART IN A HEARTBEAT! VERY TOUCHING AND HISTORICALLY, SOLID. THE JOINT CHIEF OF STAFF FOR THE MILITARY, REPRESENTING THE FOUR BRANCHES OF THE ARMED SERVICES, MADE STATEMENTS TODAY, ALL CONDEMNING WHAT HAPPENED IN CHARLOTTESVILLE: (1) AIR FORCE, WE HAVE ALWAYS, BEEN STRONGER TOGETHER, MULTI-RACIAL FORCES SERVE THIS GREAT COUNTRY; (2) ARMY, HAS BEEN INTIGRATED AND HAS ALWAYS STOOD AGAINST, EXTREMISM, AND INTOLERANCE, SINCE, 1775, DATING BACK TO THE REVOLUTIONAIRY WAR; (3) MARINES, WE HAVE WON, WARS, ALL TOGEHTER, WITH COURAGE AND COMMITMENT TO A COMMON THEME, AMERICAN GREATNESS AND WHAT WE ALL STAND FOR IN THIS COUNTRY; AND (4) THE NAVY, WHICH HAS ALWAYS STOOD AGAINST, BIGOTRY, HATRED AND INTOLERANCE! PRESIDENTS BUSH 41, AND BUSH 43, ISSUED A JOINT PRESS RELEASE OR TWEET, THAT WE ALL MUST REJECT BIGOTRY, WE ARE ALL CREATED EQUAL AND WE HAVE INALIENABLE RIGHTS, AND WE MUST ALWAYS DENOUNCE, RACISM AND ANTI-SEMATISM! THIS IS AGE-WISE ADVICE, THAT, WE HAVE ALWAYS, STOOD FOR, HERE IN AMERICA! BUMP THE TRUMP, THE BANNONS, THE OTHERS, WHO DON'T KNOW THIS! GOOD GRIEF. PARENTS, REGARDLESS OF WHAT, LUNATIC BUMPKIN, IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE, CONGRESS, OR SITTING ON THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, NOW, WE CAN TEACH, AS, DID, HEATHER HEYER'S PARENTS, TO QUESTION THOSE WHO, REFUSE TO PROVIDE OTHERS WITH THE RESPECT, RIGHTS, INCLUSION, TOLERANCE AND LOVE, YES, LOVE, THAT ALL AMERICANS AND NEW COMERS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR NATIONALITY, DESERVE, AS CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY, OR THOSE WANTING TO BECOME CITIZENS, THOSE WITH VISAS, GREEN CARDS, ON WORK PERMITS, GAINGING RESIDECY PRIVILEGES, LATER TO BE SWORN IN AS CITIZENS OF THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH! SHE DIED FOR WHAT WE ALL NEED TO LIVE FOR, FREEDOM, RIGHTS, LIBERTY, PRIVILEGES, PROTECTIONS, JUSTICE FOR ALL, AS WELL ALL EVOLVE INTO THE PEOPLE, THE FOUNDING FATHERS, IN THEIR INSPIRED, BUT LIMITED, TO THE TIMES THEY LIVED IN, BUT LEAVING OPEN, THE PROCESS OF BEING A MORE PERFECT UNION, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!!!! WITHOUT TORCHES, WITHOUT, WHITE HODDS, ALTHOUGH, SOMEONE SAID, THAT, THE FACT THAT, THE KKK IS GOING WITHOUT THEIR HOODS, IS SYMBOLIC OF BEING SUPPORTED, TOLERATED AND DEFENDED BY THIS NEW PRESIDENT, WHO'S HEAD IS SO FAR UP HIS ASS, HE DOESN'T EVEN CARE WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS, NOR WHAT HE TOOK AN OATH TO AND FOR! LABRON JAMES, OF THE CAVELIERS BASKETBALL TEAM, SLAMMED TRUMP TOO . . . AS HE HELD HS BABY GIRL . . . NEWSFLASH TRUMP AND THOSE WHO DEFEND THE PRESIDENT IN HIS INSANITY, UNAMERICAN ACTIVITIES, SEEING US, AS BEING UNPATRIOTIC, FOR SAYING ANYTHING AGAINST THE PRESIDENT . . . WE ALL TOOK AN OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION, NOT THE PRESIDENT, HE IS ONLY ONE OF THREE CO-EQUAL BRANCHES OF THE GOVERNMENT, AND ONCE HE HAS NAMED HIS PEOPLE, THEY MUST DO THEIR JOBS, EVEN IF THAT IS CROSSING HIM, OR IMPEACHING HIS ASS! BUT, DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING HAD A DREAM, AND IT WILL BE FULFILLED . . . HE TOO, ALONG WITH JFK AND OTHERS, GAVE THEIR LIVES, FOR THIS COUNTRY AND WHAT THEY BELIEVED IN, AND THE BLOOD AND SOIL, BULL SHIT OF THESE LOSERS, CREATING VIOLENCE AND MEYHAM, AROUND THE COUNTRY, TRYING TO TAKE BACK WHAT? THEIR SICK VERSION OF WHAT? THAT'S RIGHT, BIGOTRY, HATRED, INTOLERANCE . . . SORRY WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN THERE! WE ARE EVOLVING AS A COUNTRY, TOO BAD, THAT, PRESIDENT TRUMP, DOESN'T TAKE FROM THE WORDS OF PRESIDENT OBAMA, WHEN, HE SAID, BEING PRESIDENT HAS MADE ME A "BETTER" MAN! MEN, OLD STOOGES, LIKE TRUMP, MY DAD, AND OTHERS, REFUSE TO GIVE UP, THEIR, INANE, IDIOCY, AND CHANGE. THEY LONG FOR THE DAY, WHEN THERE WERE NOT NASTY WOMEN, LIKE ME AND HILLARY, WHEN, THERE WERE NO BLACK PRESIDENTS . . . ALL THE TRUMP ADMINSTRATION AND CONGRESS, GOPS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IS TO ERASE, ALL THEY COULD OF PRESIDENT OBAMA'S LEGACY. THANK GOD FOR THE 4TH BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT, GETTING INCREASINGLY, MORE AND MORE ACTIVE, BECOMEING ACTIVISTS, IN THIS TRUMP, REIGN OF ERRORS, AND THEY ARE LEADING THE CHARGE FOR CHANGE, PROTECTING, THE WAY WE WANT TO LIVE IN AMERICA, THEY ARE REFUSING TO PANDER TO THE BILLIONAIRES AND SPECIAL INTERESTS WHO HAVE LONG, MADE THIS COUNTRY A NIGHTMARE FOR THE MASSES, TRYING TO MAKE THEM KISS THE FUCKING UGLY HAIRY ASSES OF THE ILK AND THE LIKES OF TRUMP AND HIS CRONY CAPITALISTS! PARENTS, TRAIN YOUR CHILDREN UP IN THE WAYS THEY SHOULD GO, AND THEY WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT! SOME KEY POINTS IN MY EVOLUTIONAIRY PROCESS, TO BE WHERE I AM NOW, HOPEFULLY, TOLERANT OF WHAT IS RIGHT, NOT BIGOTED, FILLED WITH HATRED, OR PARTICIPATING IN RACISM, BUT IT HAS BEEN AN EVOLUTION, AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE WORDS, "EVOLUTION" AND "REVOLUTION" . . . THEY BOTH CONTAIN THE WORD, "LOVE" SPELLED BACKWARDS! UNBELIEVABLE MACHINE. TOP SHOCK! SEEDS FOR PARENTS . . .

BLONDE HAIR, BLUE EYED, 4 OR 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, NICOLE, ASKED FOR A BLACK BARBIE DOLL . . . OKAY?

• I was born, in 1954, on Port Hueneme Navy Base, California . . . I am not sure if that, is why, I am so different than all my family, born in Utah, and very Mormon, born and bred, Republicans!  It seems to have made all the difference in my life, always committed to the country, to the red, white and blue, and seem to be born and bred, through, place of birth, nurture or nature, with an allegiance to the United States of America, loving, digging, and promoting it all my life, with almost, the principles, inside me, from the get go!  I saw the visions of the race riots, the marches, the cops and the hoses, the hangings, the lynchings, the movies, that blacks were whites with their faces painted black, etc.  Some 27 year old, the other day, asked me, shocked, if I lived through, the 50's, 60's, and 70's . . . all of them, and very shaped by the times, totally!
• One night while I was saving money for college, and working at Howard Johnson's Hotel, in Salt Lake City, Utah, with very few blacks back in the day, I worked with a father and son, black, family, who worked back in the kitchen, me a waitress, but for some reason, I didn't have a ride home, and this father and son, where leaving after midnight, and going my way.  Coming from a family of 10, and several teens, working, who needed transportation, at times there were conflicts, as was the case that night . . . I didn't think anything of asking, this father and son, if I could, hitch a ride home with them.  They looked a me, paused, and said, ah, well, no.  At first, I was offended, like what threat am I to you two?  Rude.  But, then, I remembered a movie, I saw, actually a few, where some black stud, just looked at some white woman, and he was lynched.  The thought came to mind, that, they would, if they could, this was still the early, 70's, and racism was a hot topic issue!
• me and my husband, managed, apartments in Tucson, Arizona, I was exposed to blacks, there and managing apartments in Salt Lake too.  They were always nice, polite and cool.  But, my exposure, was very limited, and always, basically has been, until, I went to Chicago, and now Seattle, because, Utah and Montana, really are not that integrated, nor is race much of an issue
• now, in Ogden, Utah, a community, that serviced, Hill Air Force Base, there was at least, a black post man, who was so fun, and everyday, as he dropped off the mail, we shared stories and laughed and joked.  I really think, that is where, Nicole, got the idea for a black Barbie doll . . . she saw that this man, was a friend, really probably didn't see, any color, but knew that this Barbie was like him, a great compliment to him!  We smiled as she asked, being the color of the typical Barbie, blonde and blue eyed herself!  LOL.
• my husband, had a black intern, working with his city planning department in Ogden, Larry, we invited him over to Christmas Eve dinner, at our home . . . the night was filled with, laughter, and fun, stories of his years growing up in the South, and all the big black mama's at his church, who would greet him, each Sunday, grabbing his face and smashing it in their very voluptuous bosoms or boobs!  He told us, stories of the deep South, black superstition, and stories of snakes, and voodoo, etc.  I am sure that, had a huge ass effect on my kids, who just listened and watched, the interaction and fun!
• my daughter, wanted to bring her best friend in the Navy home for a holiday, she didn't distinguish or say, that she was black, so, when, 6' tall, VAVABOOM, sexy, too sexy for her cat, black chick, came in, so funny, again, great fun, and Greta's then, fiancé, a former Navy SEAL, was terrified, because, she found him, hot, and not so out of her reach, we all got the biggest kick out of her antics and flirting!  LOL.  Later when, Greta was living in Althreta, Georgia, she needed a job, fast, with a growing family, and the obvious reasons, in life, to live, it was a black chick again, that, reached out, and hired her in a top, fashion shop, we were all grateful, worried from Utah
• then, saying yes, to an inter-racial relationship, that broke up, basically, over him, voting for TRUMP, scream, after writing and fighting for Hillary, who would have thought?  LOL.

Gotta go . . .  quote for the day, Sophia's . . . "Integrity is choosing courage over comfort, choosing what is right over what is fast, fun, or easy, and choosing to practice our values rather than professing them." --Brene' Brown
