This certainly will be the year for Gay Summer Weddings! 12 States, with the biggest, California soon to join. I am waiting for Texas to join in to give gay couples equal rights under the law. Well maybe for my grand children or my Great Great Great Grandchildren.
Of course you know why this issue moved so well in the right direction, not only with the law but within the culture. There is no skin off anyone’s nose involved. Well except to the Taliban. Unlike our biggest fight for civil rights in which the law was fixed, the culture has a long way to go.
So why is it that there is still so much cultural, social, economic and personal racism afoot in the land? It is because of the central political dynamic of America. I DON’T WANT MY TAX MONEY GOING TO LAZY NEGROES. There you go. It is why we are the only people in the world without single payer health care. And I have recently realized what the word SOCIALISM that is no so bandied about by Republicans means benefits for black people. Which sadly enough, holds true from Oshkosh to Dallas and from Savannah to Seattle.
Having spent equal time in my life between Wisconsin and Texas, I have found the intensity of those suffering racism is about the same everywhere, it’s just a matter of how many.
What it be is… White people will force themselves to accept African Americans in the next cubicle, serving them food, fishing off the docks, behind the government window and even living next door [well down the street anyway]. The problem arises when African Americans are in a position of telling white people what to do. And now with a African American President the political angst seems to have gone beyond any hope of repair.
The real scandal is that the Republican Party will burn this country down to destroy that NWORD in the White House.
