[@berdellfleming5074]

To have walked in her shoes , to deny her TRAMUA is so unfair!

An America divided by race. That was Charles Manson's dream.

If Charles Manson were alive today, he would be very happy with the current state of race relations in the US.

60+ years ago today it's the opposite.

Yeah I know I got beat up for being white in a black neighborhood my whole life

Karma comes back in many ways. Even to the children who've done nothing wrong. Blame your ancestors.

I'm glad I was naturally large growing up, the only people brave enough to mess with me were the hardcore felons.

Mandatory school bussing destroyed my high school.

As a black woman, I am sorry that happened to you. That should never happen to anyone. Please do not judge all black people by the kids you encountered while growing up. We are not all alike. Please judge people individually.

@@blackcanaryable you speak truth; stereotypes, prejudice and group identity politics are all very destructive forces and are tearing us all apart- divide and conquer. In the coming days we will have to be mindful of our similarities not our differences if we hope to survive.

81 years old. Time to put the past behind you and live in the present.

She is teaching us her history, so this horrific experience and injustice doesn't happen again to any human. History has a way of repeating itself. Therefore, we must teach true history no matter how dark and unkind. The HOLY BIBLE also has us to learn about history of the Old Testament. It notes it is written for our learning.

You can tell how privileged some people are by how dismissive they are of other's plight. You would have cried and run away like all magas.
