Well, damn Kankune! I'm flattered. I'm a brown eyed Texan (imagine that) married to a blue eyed, blonde Texan myself.

I like the cowgirl part!👍We sure could have used you today! We woke up to two cows, and no horse here. Finally found our horse, and the owners of the cows. Long day.....
And I'm embarrassed as all get out because my horse is scared to death of cows.

We began with the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery from the nation. There has been significant progress ever since in equalization. Those who want to tear the nation down seem not to recognize these facts:

Passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865, the 13th amendment abolished slavery in the United States and provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.".

That is 152 years of trial and tribulation, but a lot of wins also! It is time to stop bringing up slavery; it doesn't exist and hasn't existed in the US for those 152 years.

Hey Arch...Im just glad your here with us. Don't know what we'd do without you. A constant voice of reason. I know I need that sometimes. Besides I have a soft spot for you Texans. Lived there for 3 years. Some of the nicest people I've ever met.

If your ever short a horse again, just give me a buzz. I'll bring a couple down for ya. I have a couple little bays that just love their cattle. : )

You bet it is. President Obama has been advocating a national police force since he took office; and the Clintons have been advocating a national police union, including all first responders, since Senators Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy introduced a bill the day after 9/11/2001:

This is the latest version of the Clinton/Kennedy bill, a long time Democrat Party agenda, coupled with George Soros inciting to riot:

National Right to Work Vice President Blasts the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill in Testimony to Congress
The National Right To Work Committee Press Release
March 10, 2010

Big Labor power grab would be a disaster for workers, taxpayers and struggling state economies

"Washington, D.C (March 10, 2010) – National Right to Work Committee Vice President Doug Stafford, urged members of Congress to oppose H.R. 413/ S.1611, the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill in a hearing before the House Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions this morning.

As detailed in Mr. Stafford’s testimony, if it becomes law H.R. 413 and S. 1611 would force monopoly bargaining on every police officer, firefighter, and emergency medical technician (EMT) in the country, putting them under the monopoly control of union bosses. Mr. Stafford blasted the bill as “yet another bill in a long line of paybacks to union bosses,” in his testimony before the House HELP Subcommittee:

“First, let’s be clear. The ultimate goal of this legislation is to force every firefighter and police officer in the country under union boss control, whether the individual public safety officers want it or not. And whether state and local governments want it or not.

“Under monopoly bargaining, individual workers lose the power to speak for themselves in dealing with their employers, to the detriment of workers and taxpayers. In addition to imposing monopoly bargaining on countless workers, H.R. 413 and its companion bill in the Senate, S. 1611, would override state labor laws across the country.”

"Currently, state and local governments have the authority to enter into monopoly bargaining agreements. Many have chosen to do so and many have not. But H.R. 413 and S. 1611 would grant the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) oversight of the labor-management laws of public safety workers in political subdivisions across the country, stripping localities of the right to govern themselves.

"Mr. Stafford’s testimony also demonstrated how monopoly bargaining strains the already-vulnerable budgets of state and local government:

"“This power comes with a price — H.R. 413 and S. 1611 would also have a detrimental impact on the budgets of state and local governments. Last year, Vallejo, California — where union bosses have already been granted control over public safety workers — went bankrupt after nearly 75 percent of its budget was spent on unionized police and firefighters. And today, despite a $26 billion state budget deficit, out-of-control public sector union bosses aren’t shouldering cuts or taking blame for the problems they’ve caused — they’re threatening strikes!

"“In other states where union bosses have been granted monopoly bargaining privileges over public sector workers, we’re seeing the exact same thing. In fact, the Mayor of Lancaster, Pennsylvania recently stated that these struggling cities are ‘handcuffed’ by public sector monopoly bargaining.

"'Put simply, passage of the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill could be the last economic straw for already struggling communities. During these troubled economic times, the last thing Congress should be considering is a Big Labor power grab that would hurt workers and bust state budgets.'”

This monopoly bargaining bill for first responders was defeated in the Senate in December 2010 due to police lobbying against it:

President Trump has an arrest warrant out for Soros's Open Society Institute Foundation for inciting riots at his campaign rallies. Putin has an international arrest warrant out for Soros' currency manipulation. This turmoil is a Democrat socialist strategy and must be exposed and eliminated. The Virginia voters should recall McAuliffe for granting this stupid demonstration permit to these White Supremacists. Keep in mind that the United Nations UNCOPs are also hoping to create an international police force through the Strong City Network signed into agreement by Attorney General Loretta Lynch. This is fascism on the rise and must be identified and stopped. Both black and white socialists are engaged in this riot racket for creating of a police state.

Cool Breeze

I would have never guessed that you was white! imagine that? Unfortunately youre talking on both sides of your mouth!

Steve700

I hope you're right about Soros. Him being eliminated would be a big help. They need for all countries to be turned into police states under the authority of the one world police state dictatorship government.

I am deliriously happy to have been born white, although to the best of my recollection, no one ever gave me a choice or an option.

Many personal actions and decisions in my life, have caused me to feel guilt... The color of my skin has never been one of them.

There would have been no rioting in Virginia, had the busloads of professional leftist "rioters-for-rent," many of them wearing BLM t-shirts, not been brought in for the sole purpose of creating mayhem.

The white nationalists, who had legal permits to assemble, would have completed their display of regard for the soon-to-be removed statue of Robert E. Lee, and would have then gone home.

Those leftists brought into Charlottesville to attack them outnumbered them four to one, and carried sticks the size of baseball bats when they departed their buses. They came to rumble.

Had the appropriate streets had barriers in place to prevent the two groups from physically confronting each other, and had the police not been told to stand down, by Democrat officials, there would have been no violence.

It was planned.

Brilliant post, Zemirah! It was planned. The whole scenario played right into the media's agenda. The media are owned by George Soros.

My ancestor was a Choctaw Indian. He owned 400 slaves. (That would be Chief Greenwood LaFlore.)

Some African-Americans believe, because maybe they have been told, they are entitled to takeover "...the mansions of the former white plantation owners."

Class and race divisions began with the election of Obama the guy writes. Utter nonsense. Obama tried to be a unifier; your Republican Congress refused to cooperate on anything because he was black. Open your eyes.
