Such a fine write about this major problem in the USA, and in many other places in our world, those in power just do not seem to care about the injustice of discrimination.
Will that dream come true when all are equal? I cannot see it happening in my lifetime - or at all where the people in power only think of themselves.
Maybe it will one day - Oh look at that, there is a pig flying above me!!

There you go again, stating the bleedin obvious...as if i wasn\'t aware of all that!
Well maybe there will always be tensions between different races and maybe not. Just because one man tells you something it doesn\'t mean he is right. However... there is clearly a lot of room for improvement in USA\'s race relations and integration whether it be from the native americans, you mentioned, point of view or any of the other immigrant races including the immigrant white folk.
U.K. has it\'s racial tensions but we seem to be streets ahead of USA in the way they handle the public irrespective of race or creed.
Do you realise how patronising you are being when you write \"Thanks for caring\" Who the F..k do you think you are?

GOOD EVENING DA ~ BRIAN HERE ~ THANKS FOR Highlighting the Riots following the recent Murder in Minnesota of Afro-American GEORGE FLOYD by a Police Officer. The first line in the Song says it all ~
People movin* out - People movin* in
Why ? Because of the colour of their skin
Run - Run - Run - but you just cant hide !
There are 13 million Afro-Americans in the USA - most of them like Michelle O*Bama - descendents of Slaves. The song highlights the problem. Because they were imported from Africa to work as Slaves in the Plantations they are the wrong colour for the lattitude and so *They can*t Hide*. Despite the optimism in MLKs *I Have a Dream Speech* Native-Americans will always be judged by *The colour of their Skin*. In 2003 my Folks took me to New Orleans & Memphis & Nashille for my 20th Birthday and we had a Lecture at the MLK Memorial Centre given by an Afro-American who had been in Jail with MLK. After the Lecture a Man asked *Are the Troubles over ?* The Lecturer replied *While theres one White Man & one Black Man left in the USA - The Struggle will never be over !* So theres your answer - and it is more so true when the USA has a President with Friends in the KKK. Trump was only castigating the Rioters for Destroying Property & Looting rather than those who has mudered Floyd and sparked the Riots. It is so so sad - Minnisota is a nice State to visit. Thanks for caring !
Peace & Joy & Love
Angela & Brian & Smokey !

I am with you all the way my friend, only on one point would I beg to differ... these words, your ‘Betrayal’ are nothing short of a magnificent reminder, tribute, education and dedication to all those fellows who were clearly deceived and otherwise betrayed....

My reply sometimes .
is \'I told you so - not to trust man/women completely\'.
Great men/women are not always wise, not even Einstein.
Churchill said \'I\'m ready to meet my Maker; I\'m not sure if my Maker is ready to meet me\'. He (his Maker) will be ready. We may not say anything much when we get there, just be overcome by His glory - like trying to look at the sun in its full strength.

So true d a, Churchill was guilty of getting so many people killed in ww2 and in battles previous to the war but they are never mentioned as he \'needs to be know\' as the saviour of this country from the Nazi\'s.

Reading your honest words gives tribute by drawing attention to their tragic position dear friend and I agree most wholeheartedly those heroes who drew fire away from souls caught at Dunkirk need far more recognition.

Wow.... We are all free to express and that you have truly done.....in the weeks of learning more biology than I\'ve ever done! The universe is nothing more to me but a virus in all manner of life, yet we still think we have the knowledge to know or make what is wrong or right...
I definitely take from this that it\'s all blowing in the wind and theses last few days mother nature agrees! As out of the blue life will always keep happening, just my dogs I\'ll keep trying to enjoying every bit!
Always appreciated, thanks again for the inspiration
