He has a bad attitude
Ay Hindsite, I am going to bed...it is nearly 10:46 pm here in Denver, Colorado and I am ready to go to bed.
Think of how much you love God and start loving people. That is my only advice. For me that is a very great thing to do if you find yourself falling into discrimination and prejudiced thoughts. I read your posts carefully for a lot of what I call subliminal messages....you said in one of them that you got over the 'feelings' of not liking Black people in the military. The military forces people to work together and to find a common cause to rally around, and to cooperate. After all these people are going to have to defend each other. And you have a lot of rules to obey and set aside your problems if you want to complete a mission.
You struggled with race prejudice most of your life...probably you were taught racism from your early 'imprints' Hindsite.
From very early on someone and somebody close to you emotionally transmitted something about 'blacks and............fill in the blank, people as not to be trusted.
I read you were born in Ventura California and moved to Texas and now live in Georgia. Basically Hindsite? You were raised in many ways traditionally American and with a lot of fears of many of these 'untrustworthy' races, nations, etc. But you got to get along.....it is complicated.
People follow imprints. Early ones. My first impressions of African looking people? Completely loving and completely positive. And that has only been reinforced over my lifetime....thousands of times. So much so, that for me? I only felt love and acceptance and so on for African looking people. Complete and absolute comfort at all times with the African looking people. It is strange but the people who stood up for me or spoke up and defending my in bad situations in my life? All mostly African people. African women most of all.
I think one has to realize we are all limited by our own experiences.
Good night, Buenas noches Hindsite,
Out in Augusta, (I know opera is not your thing.....) Do you like Patsy Cline? I think she sang beautifully----I especially like this one song of hers...."I Fall to Pieces" and "Sweet Dreams of You"
Try to have sweet dreams Hindsite....buenas noches.
