HOW DARE YOU BRING IN FALSE LIES SO THAT YOU AND YOUR KIND CAN FIT IN FALSELY. WHEN SOUL TRAIN FRIST AIR, PRIDE AND AND TOTAL CONFIDENCE SET IN ON THE CONSCIENCES OF MY PEOPLE. WHY, WOULD YOUR PEOPLE SEEK "REFUGE" ON RIGOROUS RACISM WHEN IT CAME FROM YOUR PEOPLE.

[@SonofLiberty-zw7op]

Yes. We enjoyed our differences...and gave room for others to be different. We wanted to see each person for who he/she was. Not surface race/skin. Even in to the 90s Michael Jackson said "I don't want to live my life being a color" In the 70s KC could be "black"...Charley Pride could be "white".....and we laughed at ourselves for limiting people because of their skin.

​@@jsuchaldy9690 I don't need to reach. You said "my people" and "our people" after you explicitly mention black families. Maybe you don't even realize the implication of your words. Your words of discrimination combined with the topic of black families implies you harbor racist views. The circumstantial evidence is on you. I didn't say anything about Soul Train. I'm talking about your choice of words. Maybe you aren't racist, but you are using words that make you sound racist.
