Re: Race in America - Riots Explode in Minneapolis
Peanut Butters doesn't get it.
--- its a strategy on the part of the protestors. The Police Chief, Mayor and local courts are playing the game to a draw, doing a good job. Hat's off to them. This is what an overwhelming defeat of the police, establishment, etc., looks like.
The greater the use and reliance on force by the establishment, THE GREATER THEIR LOSS!

I get it. In recalling the encounter, I now realize that the family became at ease & appreciative. When leaving, the Dad gave me a fist bump & introduced himself by name & Mom said she looked forward to seeing us again. I sensed their unease upon arrival. I'm glad there were no other dogs present so I could encourage them to bring in their humper with no fear of being scolded by a more protective dog owner. In hindsight, considering their situation, having just moved "up the road" to a new neighborhood, as a black family arriving for the first time, with an unruly pit bull, they may have been rightfully worried about being negatively stereotyped. I believe that was YA's point -- there are countless random acts of kindness which are forgotten at times like this. ...& you can tell they are appreciated, the guard goes down, & nothing need be said.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 5:03 pmohh, I got the point and completely embrace it.old salt wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 4:51 pmNo -- I did not think about it before.

Treating people generously as people matters. And their dogs.
Until I read this thread, I did not give a second thought to the fact that they were black.
That was the point. We all have such interactions which are easily forgotten & taken for granted.
I wasn't suggesting that you were particularly conscious of their race during your interaction or even immediately afterwards, just that you did think of it before deciding to tell the story. It wasn't relevant absent that consideration. No criticism at all in my noting that.
I believe you that you treated them in all sincerity as a fellow dog family, not based on any other characteristics than just another family. What is nice about that interaction also had nothing to with race. The warmth I felt about the story also had nothing to do with their race. It was just a nice story of someone being nice to someone else.
The story I told unfortunately had a racial component to the interaction, whether intended or not. It very likely was experienced as such, and it was unfortunate.

I did a terrible thing this afternoon.
I watched "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon"
The star is a BIGGOT and the plot was about the Indian campaigns of the 1870's—genocide.
I enjoyed it. For the fiftieth time seeing it I enjoyed it and will 50 more viewings.
I'm going to white privilege hell for sure.

Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
Love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold
I left his dead ass there by the side of the road, yeah

The party divide on race:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions ... -building/Consider just one yardstick, a standard question of racial attitudes in which people are asked to agree or disagree with this statement: “It’s really a matter of some people not trying hard enough; if blacks would only try harder they could be just as well off as whites.”
In 2012, 56 percent of white Republicans agreed with that statement, according to the American National Election Studies. The number grew in 2016 with Trump’s rise, to 59 percent. Last month, an astonishing 71 percent of white Republicans agreed, according to a YouGov poll written by Parker and conducted by GQR (where my wife is a partner).
The opposite movement among white Democrats is even more striking. In 2012, 38 percent agreed that African Americans didn’t try hard enough. In 2016, that dropped to 27 percent. And now? Just 13 percent.

Some guys got caught going after a statue:

These guys should get like 10 years in jail.
I guess if Biden wins the election this fall, they will just get a slap on the wrist.

Racist woman hurls racist words at returning black veteran.
I bet she's part of the tRUMP crowd.
