It's good to hear from someone who lived in Kansas also ... I just had no idea anything like this existed. This last trip sure opened my eyes!! It seems to be a generational thing ... it gets passed down over and over again. What a shame those people will never know how wonderful it is to get along and enjoy life. Instead, they would rather live in anger and resentment, making everyone around them feel the same, not to mention the thief's and robbers taking advantage of the situation by stealing and burning. What's their justification for that??Nancy Kissackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225296192386107554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-76323908591543665952014-11-27T06:48:48.899-08:002014-11-27T06:48:48.899-08:00I'm pretty sure babies aren't born with bi...I'm pretty sure babies aren't born with bigotry ... it's learned from family and friends, passed down through generations, as is the demand for living at someone else's expense!!Nancy Kissackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225296192386107554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-10572048787620950482014-11-26T19:24:55.305-08:002014-11-26T19:24:55.305-08:00Hi, Nancy, I love reading your blog, and I just wa...Hi, Nancy, I love reading your blog, and I just wanted to comment that I grew up in KS, near the Missouri border. I saw racism on both sides. It amazes me that now, 50+ years later, when I go back to see family, I see the very same things I saw as a child, the same racism, both sides. It does not end, and I don't know how it ever will. I, too, am sorry this family lost their son, it's so sad. But this rioting and violence will not bring him back. gypsyelveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119606011737569693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-91518381302301962862014-11-26T18:37:16.593-08:002014-11-26T18:37:16.593-08:00We were in Kentucky when President Obama was runni...We were in Kentucky when President Obama was running and we found out how bigoted both the whites and blacks are.

I thought we were past that, but apparently that's not the case. I suppose it has a lot to do with how and where you were raised, but we're all human beings and should respect each other, and not play the racism card when we don't get our way.Nancy Kissackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225296192386107554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-79321264519246226852014-11-26T15:59:20.713-08:002014-11-26T15:59:20.713-08:00You must have been eavesdropping when Bill and I w...You must have been eavesdropping when Bill and I were talking about it.

I lived in the midst ...Very hard to understand.... I lived in the midst of it for 22+ years in Arkansas. Had a older White guy come in my office and tell me that "enough is enough". Asked what he was talking about and he said, "I understand that you needed to buy some books for them people, but enough is enough." I reminded him that I was the Librarian for the entire population, and that I would continue to buy books for the entire population. Had another guy come in, a Black man this time, tell me that "55% of the population was black and that 55% of the books had to be for the blacks. " I asked him that when I bought something such as the Britannica Encyclopedias, was I buying them for the "Whites" or for the "Blacks". He said, "Well, Britannica is English, so that would be considered for the "Whites". So I responded, (this was pre-Internet days), "What do I tell all the young Black kids that come in after school to do school reports and use the Britannica to find the answers to their school homework? Do I tell them that they cannot use the Britannicas because YOU said they were bought for the "Whites"? Yes, Racism exists, and it is a two-sided coin, not a one-sided coin. I could go on with many more stories.....but I will get off my box and just say, "Good post Nancy". Dave Burdick (GoingRvWay.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10706797381982584920noreply@blogger.com
