This race thing in the US has been going nuts. Now they want to make Juneteenth a federal holiday for the African Americans (which is a day I never heard of until I opened the calendar on my phone just now and noticed google added it to my phone so googled what it was). Not that I'm against days off from work but wondering where is all this heading? To violence? To descrimination? Will the US never be the same again? Heard tons of stuff just in California alone. A whitey woman all of a sudden decided to pick on her Mexican next door neighbors. Using a hammer to damage their car and telling them to go back to Mexico. Before all this race stuff she was fine with her neighbors. So more people will pull a 180 and change?

Nobody said they're making Juneteenth a holiday. If you must know Junteenth is the day where we commemorate the freedom of slaves Texas being the last state to free slaves in June 19, 1865.

I see. Well, that is new. Yeah, and not that I mind the holiday at all or any changes to that but there's also been a lot of violence lately and lives lost. That kind of change I don't like. Lives should be safe to voice their concerns and such without fear for any change or whatever. Not do so with violence/lives being lost. Just a pacifist here so don't like learning of people dying lately or getting hurt.  |

i know we're in a bad place right now in our country...but no one can deny...that there is only one explanation to all this...all races have their beauty definitions...isn't that right america?...i mean being real is what we need to be again...not fake...
there's a reason why there are connections between different races...like i'm asian...and sometimes i thought i had felt the deep connections of the same soul as other of my black friends in my past...

ionno, we just gotta continue meditating on these truths of unity. black people has have had a lot of closed doors. but that's part of their beauty...with such things gives them more of a fighting spirit...i guess that's why they like impressing people...and i guess that's why other races follow suit to like see a lot of people that are black people on many things...

the more things change, the more they stay the same
and by that i mean that its gotta be realized that
people who are racist do so due to their own feelings
of inferiority which they then project onto their victims
so holidays and things like affirmative actions just
highlight the problem, which is valid, but it takes a
concerted personal effort from individuals to get over
the actual problems
perhaps if psychology was taught widely it would make
something of a difference - but so much that gets stamped
'psychology' is sophistry too

for example - during apartheid the schools would inflict corporal punishment on white kids for any transgression, real and contrived - the rebellion against that was 'repressed' and the kids would grow up with a violent temper which would then be easily directed at the african community by social cues in the media
another example was in nazi germany teachers were encouraged to make kids aggressive in the same manner
