What alternate reality did that come from? ‘Cause if our adults were half as smart as those kids, we wouldn’t still be flailing away at that dead horse!
HEY! That’s Godzilla! Those scrawny arms are capable of tossing buildings over his shoulders. Just be glad those arms are not proportionally sized to match his legs!
I’m 82 and grew up in a small town that had a White side of the railroad tracks and a Black side where the inhabitants made sure to be before dark.
During the glorious ’60s, my generation saw it as a duty to break open that curfew and ensure 24-hr access to both sides but still thought it prudent to supply White taxi service to all Blacks (and vice-versa) who felt threatened on being on the “wrong side of the tracks”. I, like others wishing to make atonement, saw this as an opportunity.
5 years ago, my oldest grandson married a woman with a beautiful, talented, intelligent biracial daughter. It was love at first sight. Now I live with fear every time there is an outbreak and pray my beautiful girl will never know the vicious horror so many have experienced. Now I know duty and atonement were focused on me. Love teaches that all of us may be born equal but freewill lifts us up above equality when there is love or plunges us deep into horror when we allow hate to guide us.
Sadly, we’re still waiting for that day, Dr King, but the ignorant and fearful who deny a principal tenet of our country that all men are created equal have turned their fear of losing privileges they never had into hate against those who’s darker skin somehow makes them evil. In reality, it’s not the skin color that makes men evil; it’s the blood they shed. In the end, when blood is shed, it’s all the same color red. Lead us with your dreams, Dr King.Some day…
Looks a bit like Cthulhu to me.
