steve my focus as of late isn't on politics... to say i
continuously bring up racism here is not true. if you'd rather spend your time trying to defend your statement than recognize that i found your comment offensive- so be it, but i am not wrong to call out your exaggerated remark about me or even find it irritating.
i do believe that it is a topic that concerns you greatly and you have brought it up many times on the forum with regular continuity and i do not see this as an exaggeration or an offensive comment. Why you would find it offensive is beyond me. Perhaps it is an issue that you have encountered in your life a lot. How am i to know? Maybe it is because we live on two sides of the country. Racism seems to be a concern of the distant past where i live. i just think its relevancy in today's world has waned compared to economic disparity which you found not so important. i will quote you here: "there is also a hypocrisy and wrong thinking to the class warfare you're describing. your words are slanderous and shallow.." Why is it that i find little offense in your words but you call me out on my observation? Am i walking on egg shells here but you seem to be able to walk quite heavily without me taking any offense? i do not not find it irritating. Irritation is something we learn to rise above because of meditation and spiritual practice. i am just curious as to why the race issue has been a concern in your life. i have seen racial issues in my life as well. Yet i have seen much much more poverty in life.
It seems that every where i turn people are looking for ways to eat and sustain a living. This is a reoccurring phenomena in my observations: People on street corners with signs saying they would work for food and were hungry without a home and can't feed their kids, people gaining weight because they can not afford healthy food, people unable to pay their bills, people begging at my door. i spent hours walking with people freezing in the Detroit winters living on the streets and driving people places because they couldn't get out of the city and they were hungry and cold. People sleeping on the pavement of the sidewalk. Helped people at rest stops who couldn't afford a meal were with their wife and couldn't even help her. etc. etc. Really if this were not the case i would not have such a strong aversion for the policies of Donald Trump which further plunge the poor into despair and give little hope to the diminishing middle class. There are 60 million people in this country in poverty. How can i be proud of a president that has little or no concern for them? We have a very selfish man that is leading our nation that is very insensitive to the needs of others.
