workers...my eyes were opened even more than before when my daughter dated seriously a nice young man of color...I saw first hand how he was treated...I knew it intellectually, but when you see it...so much worse. He was treated like shit and when my youngest got stranded in a broken down car, I was terrified when he went out to help... the police were fine...but even to have to think like that is awful. I can't imagine what it is to be a AA parent and have your kids exposed to this sort of thing...terrifying.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Joe has the kind of AA numbers that HRC had at this point in 2008 bigbrother05 Jan 2020 #28
