I've been traveling to Lansing, Michigan a lot lately and I can tell you a lot of melting is happening in this part of the rust belt in America. There are a tremendous amount of racially mixed young couples that have seemed to break the race barrier that has for so long plagued my country.
And I am sure that this activity is happening throughout much of the United States right now.
And as far as the rest of your retort, I stand with what I have already stated. YES - FOR ME words are, for the most part, meaningless. MY LIFE is, for the most part, empty and meaningless. I have read and I am educated. I stand with those facts - FOR ME.
.................................................
Each of us are at different points in our individual and group evolution. So, in this case, what is true for me is not true for the vast majority of others. But we are ALL in the same situation and mooring.
I believe the focus of this thread is to express that race REALLY DOESN'T MATTER. Economically & emotionally Americans are being brought together by a common hunger. Being brought together by a common feeling that ALL RACES are being marginalized. Capitalism is now too strong.
Humans need to be of more value in the scope of society. Profit for the sake of profit is no longer a just and benevolent god.
Nobody said capitalism is a God. However, it is the only economic system that improves everybody's life. Your problem is that you want everybody's life to have exactly the same amount of improvement. Well, my friend, take that argument up with Mother Nature!
Because of the recent emergence of raw capitalism in America & throughout the world profit has become a modern god of sorts...Matter of fact profit is god. The ONLY god in this man made world right now.
Hope that clears that misunderstanding up for you.
Oh yeah -
...............................................NO JUSTICE - NO PEACE!
"Profits make the rocking world go round!" (with apologies to "Queen" and Freddie Mercury who sang "fat-bottom women" instead of "profits.")
Typical yank, thinking money and making a profit is the be-all and end-all of everything. No class, taste, or refinement, just endless mental vomit like the Kadashians and all that you morons think passes as 'class and taste' in your dumbed-down shit-hole of a country. Jerry Springer anyone?
How about a classy meal at a McRestaurant? You probably even have 'donut' (too fat and lazy to leave in all the letters) chains. Is there a 'chain' that hasn't been thought of yet? Or 'reality' show? How about, 'At home with ZZ top's toenail-clippings'?
Speaking of Jerry Springer, when he was a Cincinnati councilman and just got married, he paid a prostitute in Newport, KY with a check, and when it became public, he resigned from office, only later to be elected Mayor. At least he's got the balls to be a Socialist!

What's a 'socialist' by the way? I've never found a yank yet who can actually define the word.
Saw this video posted on another forum I visit. Amazing courage and audacity on behalf of two young ladies who interrupted a Bernie Sanders rally in Seattle.
Here is a follow up article on some changes made to Sanders' campaign as a result:
After activists from the Black Lives Matter movement repeatedly disrupted speeches by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) over the past few weeks, the popular and populist presidential candidate released a comprehensive racial justice platform and hired a young racial justice activist as his national press secretary.
The platform, which has won praise from several prominent voices in the Black Lives Matter movement, focuses on different forms of violence against people of color in the United States: physical violence from law enforcement and extremist vigilantes, the political violence of voter suppression, the legal violence of the War on Drugs and mass incarceration, and the economic violence of crushing poverty. Sanders lays out several proposals to address each form of violence, from passing “ban the box” laws to prevent hiring discrimination against people with criminal records, to outlawing for-profit prisons, to restoring the gutted protections in the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Though Sanders has been involved in civil rights work since his college days, he has come under pressure from black activists since launching his bid for president. Having represented the overwhelmingly white state of Vermont for most of his life, Sanders has often struggled to specifically address racial justice issues with the urgency the movement is demanding — an urgency fueled by the fact that an unarmed black person has been killed by police, on average, every nine days this year.
If so, then why do so many BLACK LIVES (and white lives and yellow lives and brown lives and ...) turn themselves over, lock, stock, and barrel, to be used as resource by the powers that be (public and private)?
If you willingly walk to the abattoir then you're nuthin' but 'meat'.
