If people want to see 'propaganda' then that's exactly they'll see. Too bad they can't recognize it when comes from 'friendly' sources.
'Citizens'? Oh that's a hoot. 10 million (that BP actually counted) have crossed the border since Jan 20, 2021 when hair-sniffer-in-chief (or his handlers) undid everything in that vein. And even pushed an app to make it easy-peasy. PS: I'm working (from home today) and very happy to be doing so. I love paying my own way. 'lack of character'.... an unabashed slur. I'm ignoring you from here forward. Understand why? Or do I need to explain? I have also said all I need to say here about 'interracial couples', which strangely is what this thread was supposed to be about until it started getting trashed.... way before I ever showed up. HINT: There is a 2024 Politics thread. Maybe take all of the mess over there where it actually belongs.
Hmm. Maybe that's kind of like me reading "targeted the lower intellect of' Euro American society" or "Euro Americans had things handed to them due to race and not merit" [laughable in the face of decades of 'Affirmative Action' etc,etc,etc] or "should be so lucky as to have a meaningful socialist force in the US." Know what I mean? I don't really expect you to, but I wouldn't mind being surprised.
Yep….generations of institutional discrimination, hate, and put downs, a few years of effort with constant attempts to go back to 1950 or 1900 or1850 and it’s all fixed. Right, just listen to the BS from the white, male, privileged elite how they are victims. Makes me want to puke.
On topic, I had the prettiest girl in my high school, we were together from 1982 to 1987. She was super model beautiful , body/ face and sweet personality. I was the longhaired guitar freak, an outsider on campus. All the guys were intimidated by her good looks, all the girls envied her looks and personality. She was half Black, many thought she was Polynesian or Mexican. I used to get racial vandalism on my locker and lots of remarks behind my back. Sometimes, people don't like it when you find love and happiness with someone of another ethnicity.
On many forums, I post this map, when the Racist Euro American Pity Party" spouts it "Race Replacement" BS ....Shuts them up everytime !!!!
Oh, but that doesn't count. You know--manifest destiny and all that. As my dead friend used to say when I reminded her that there were already people here when the whites were over running and claiming the country---"yeah--they were here, but they weren't using it."
In my working years I spent many days alone in the Forest….no snowmobiles or atv’s. Just me on snowshoes in the winter and on foot in the summer among the trees and wildlife inhabitants. And away from the “civilized” distractions the spirit of the forest, it’s current and former inhabitants, became a real presence that was inescapable. Today, just occasionally, amends are being made… -the salmon are gradually being re-established with the removal of dams and obnoxious culverts. -the excess bison of Yellowstone are being given to the tribes to start herds on the reservations. In spite of the Montana R-s who think a better idea is for dudes to kill them for trophies and is throw away the meat. -wolves have been reintroduced in many states. I was lucky enough to see one of the early successes cross the Lochsa highway in front of me many years ago. Of course in every state there are R-s who want to decimate the newly established populations. -personally I was lucky enough to be part of the recovery effort for the Spotted Owl. An effort which included the preservation of old growth forests which was the bigger issue. It’s long past time to make a National effort to right past wrongs and honor those people who were the original caretakers of the Land.
I suppose it depends on where you live. My home state is a melting pot, and open-minded in many places. People don't really care about stuff like that, unless they're nosy racists. And who likes those types of people anyway?
