I'm Taking A Break From Feeling Shame For Being White This Weekend

June 6, 2020 is the 76th anniversary of D-Day - The Normandy landings were the landing operations and associated airborne operations on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history.

Learning about this operation and some of the warriors that were part of it,
helps take my mind off the plight of persons today that don't feel properly appreciated.

The whole country pulled together. EVERYONE found ways they could help the country in the war effort. American ingenuity along with free market unleashed unheard of productivity to defeat our enemies.

Yeah, I think I'd rather think about how the greatest generation saved our country for us, so we could have a choice whether to burn it down today, or pull together again to save the country for our children.

As soon as your dear leader has left the building and his cult go sulking away, I feel quite certain that we, as a nation, will begin to do what Americans do best. Stand together when faced with hardship and peril.

@Carla Did it ever dawn on you that your attitude is the biggest problem the US faces? Your leader was duly elected. Get behind him and support him. Civics 101. If you want to get rid of him then vote against him and when he wins his second term get behind him again. The American people have spoken through their election process.

President Trump is on duty 24/7
I'm right here.
You are not in the spirit of the post - coming together.
We have a lot of problems Carla.
If you don't want to help - please, just get out of the way.

@Budwick we do indeed face many problems. Most of which trump perpetuates. Your idea of coming together is accepting a horrible man as my leader. I do not and will not.
He may have been elected, but it was far from duly.
My heart will soar as I will witness his political death in November.

@Carla Your hatred is noted.

Carla · 61-69, F

@Budwick has nothing to do with hate and everything to do with awareness.

Cue Elton John - 'Can you feel the love tonight?'

@Budwick "political death".
Read into that what you will.

He was duly elected fair and square. Your team lost and you bet on the wrong horse. Sour grapes?

At least Budwick is trying, the alternative was much worse. Oh well, the country will get along just fine without you.

Don't hold your breath, considering your team's excuse for an alternative it's going to be a turkey shoot.

It has everything to do with hate and you help perpetuate it.

@hippyjoe1955 @Budwick @DudeistPriest
🙄
All y'all showing that lack of awareness.
Y'all hold the trump party line so well. Keep holding, you will all be nursing rope burns.

I don't wanna speak for the other two - but I think we all know we are fully aware of your dislike for the President and have managed to disregard every positive thing he has accomplished for America.

AND, we're still not racist!

I felt it! 🤭 @Budwick

Budwick · 70-79, M

@DukeOfEarle I know! Me too!
It was sort of like that one day when my Mom had me wearing corduroys to school. I was 14. On the morning school bus ride, the ride was kind of ... jiggly. It felt kinda funny,... down there.

Same thing today~!

A certain “fizzy” sensation that made your heart go thumpity thump thump-thump? Yes. There are some very endearing people here that make me feel that same warm and fuzzy feeling too. 😂 @Budwick
