Ditto what Zeetal said!

I second this suggestion.

Exactly. They look proud and determined. I love it. I am going to make it my wallpaper on my computer.

In the neighborhood next to mine, detached garages are part of most of the houses. My neighborhood has all attached garages.

When according to the last census, more black families live in the suburbs than the inner city. Of course, this doesn’t go with the narrative that we all live in Hell.

This is what I keep saying. I’m a POC from the south this whole “poor white people have no privilege” shit is absurd. They have been utilizing it against POC for generations in the form segregation (legal or otherwise) and violence. I’m exhausted by white people asking me to pretend otherwise.

But man, that first fours years, I felt like I was constantly holding my breath,

I get it and you explained so eloquently. I am going to steal your explanation, if you don’t mind.

*5 children by 3 different women. Can you imagine a black presidential candidate with 5 kids by 3 different women, let alone the party nominee?

The religious right would never vote for dirty, tree hugging hippy like Jesus. Why, that guy hangs around with whores and lepers.

My cousin and I took my elementary aged sons and his high school aged sons. It was awesome!

Gross, so sorry. I remember back in the 70's in elementary school, a teacher brought in cupcakes for some student’s birthday, as per school tradition — the student was a Jehovah’s Witness and politely declined, explaining that they don’t celebrate birthdays. I still remember the fuss that teacher made in front of…

I went through my WWII stage and just found out about this story last year. I was flabbergasted.
