[Bgs-list] Fwd: A Topic for Next Week - Stay in AmeriKKKa or Leave

[Charles Baker]

And my reason to include that snippet of family history was that I
understand the feeling that this is more my country than 46-1's given the
generations of my family that have lived, died, worked and fought for this
country.

But it's like an abusive relationship. We give our blood sweat and tears to
make it work and it beats us and kills us in return. How long before we
give up on the abusive spouse?

I brought this up today but we quickly got diverted into other topics. I
would really like to discuss it next week.

And let me caveat the topic by saying that I have seen records of my
family, enslaved and free blacks and free whites, back to the 1830s. My
mother says we have ancestors in all those categories back to the American
Revolutionary War.

That being said I often return to this article from the time when 46-1 was
elected.
