They should earn our votes each and every election.

You hit on so many key points. I have also expressed my concern about politicians who love the black vote during election time but we mean nothing after they get into office.

I just wanted to convey what life is like for some black people. From the time we leave our homes in the morning until the time we return in the evening, we have to pay attention to everything we do. We have to "blend in" to not be seen as a threat in a society that is so volatile. Most incidents are small, but they add up over time and it becomes tiring. Again, thank you for listening and I'm glad that it was able to provide you with fuel for a conversation with your son. If everyone simply had conversations about these things instead of saying to themselves, "it's not all that bad" then society would be better for it!Talk2Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00925484997009944397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114026626064763567.post-52641307036327336352020-06-26T09:58:46.012-05:002020-06-26T09:58:46.012-05:00I was just listening to your podcast on racism, as...I was just listening to your podcast on racism, as a white Canadian girl, I find what you are saying so important because I (we) don't see the racism here.. so my son in his early 20's says.. what are they talking about ? why are they angry? I can now answer these questions. Getting your message out there is important, and I just wanted you to know that it is reaching people. I understand you are frustrated, I honestly can't imagine what your life is like. I recently asked a black man who grew up in canada if he also experienced racism.. he just laughed at me and he said ..every damn day.. racism is everywhere and its in every interaction.. Anyways I just wanted to say I am opening my eyes.. because apparently I have been blinded by my own white privilege.. <br />I just wanted to say thank you for speaking up.Monica Vandermeerhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/982975noreply@blogger.com
