Husband. Father. Grandfather. Son. Brother. Friend. Musician. Photographer. IT guy. Lots of other labels but these are the main ones.
You would think this would be hard to saying being born and raised in WV but I totally agree with this sentiment. 100%! Realistically, this is the same shit we (the US) has done for decades upon decades, just grotesquely blatant this time around.

Yeah, he’s only crusading against the melanated migrants, as per normal with him and the lot of them. Brown paper bag rule still very much applies to those making the rules at the moment.

Needless to say my parents won that battle. They also didn’t marry until they were sure about their feelings for eachother so I attended the wedding :) 49 years for them next year.

Similar situation here. Both parents born in the 50s so were in segregated schools that were later desegregated. Hell, because my parents were different ethnicities, one parent from each side wanted me gone. In 1970s WV, black men and white women didn’t date and they sure as hell didn’t have kids.

Seeing this reminds me how truly far away I am from my dad. Even though we’re both getting older (50 for me, 70 for him) we would still totally do this and did a few years ago when my parents came for my son’s 21st lol Of course my mom yelled at us lol

I’d just be happy if my dad passed his Di Da Jao recipe to me for my aching back lol

Noice :)

My dad was my instructor for both from the age of 3 up until I moved over here just before turning 25. I only ever practice it anymore when the two of us get together. I actually was a it naughty and was a shoot fighter when I was 22. At the same time of my police run in. Hence no flinch.

Very nice! You’re going to have to at least visit at some stage. I need to make it to there and Okinawa (to cover my Kung Fu and Isshinryu roots) at some stage myself. Much easier to do from this side of the planet ;)

Teach English. That’s where a lot of English speakers start in the likes of China, Taiwan, Japan, etc. From what I’m told it does pay well. I have a friend at the moment in Vietnam doing just that.

… colonised but, until then, I’m happy where I am.

I’m sorry for your loss…

All I can say is that there are much freer places in the world than the US. I ended up in NZ 25 years ago and have lived here half my life now. This and Australia would be familiar in unfamiliar ways if that makes sense.One of these days I’ll make it to see someplace not..

…. due to the people meant to protect you constantly terrorising you!! Oh boy I need to shut myself up. I feel for you and hope you’ve found some peace where you live now.

… dragged out of my car and beaten for being pulled over on the side of the road, having a nap because I couldn’t drive any further one night. They stopped with the batons when I didn’t flinch the first couple of hits. That’s a story for another day though. Anyways, no one should have to run away….

The problem is, if you have any melanin in your skin, the North didn’t hold any true refuge either. What happened to you has been happening since the “end” of slavery and hasn’t stopped. The more black and brown people in prison, the more free labor. As light as I am I have been…
