    Yes the screw up and freaks like the folks that will no doubt turn the aforementioned event into negative news or uber liberals, unionistas or able bodied crossbow shooters and other low class folks. I find them interesting. :wave:

    I tend to reflect on the positive achievement of people, not the negative believe it or not. I bring up the negative to get people to think..think of those things that make us all better and remember our past mistakes as a road not to travel down again.

    Far as violence during Juneteenth Celebrations they seem to happen when the jumper cables are put on the battery wrong. Only those that get it right are the witnesses of failure. Speaking of this since living here in Virginia there's something I found out about 4 years ago...

    One city in Virginia didn't tell the slaves were free until the turn of the century. They kept the information from them till the 1900's. Just keep in mind if people want to fight hang on to a racists past or blame others for their failures. Then they will. When people do succeed in doing so then they will fail.

    Example were I work at I've warned them of this very behavior and it's going to cost them if they don't change. Yesterday one of our biggest buyers walked out. Three supervisors were fired because of this. Is this going to get them to come back only time will tell.

    But racism and bigotry will not get you anywhere in life especially when you run a business.

    These people are the reason they created riot gear. Let them be stupid, there is always room for more dumbasses in prison. Keeps me employed.
