Well Voice, just so ya know.....I don't care what the color of your skin is. I will treat you the same way you treat me. I like everybody until you show me you don't like me. Then I feel the same about you as you do me.

As far a s black people making white people poor.....that is a new one to me.....I don't believe that just like I don't believe white people make black people poor. Morgan Freeman said it best. " The oppressed are oppressed because they think they are. Get off your lazy ass and go to work." That includes people of all color and walks of life.

IMO the people in this country aren't racist, the people in Washington want us to hate each other....why.....? Good question.

I am probably a bit over the edge but one last thought.....You are welcome here Voice and I will treat you the same way you treat me.

@pute that would be great if it was universal. I don’t look to dislike ppl. My service never said defend specific colors… unless it was the stars n stripes. The get off your “lazy ass” thing has been attributed to Black for as far as I can remember. (not saying that was your intent to be offensive) but for Blacks saying “lazy” is just as bad a saying “water melon” and the reality is, some times the thing we think is normal is offensive to others, but bc we intact so little and everyone is “tribal” you’d never know until it’s too late. There are LAZY Blacks just as there are some lazy whites or any other race… but some bust their ass to feed their families. I did. I do. I’ve always worked 2 jobs or worked and ran my own businesses… I still have 2 and am retired. I don’t think I’m an enigma because all my friends have good or great paying jobs or thriving businesses. Some.. both.

I’ll just say this and you can take it how you please. I’m Black. I’m a Vet. I vote in the best interest of myself and my community. I don’t wanna defund the police, My family is full of Law Enforcement. I do want them to apply justice evenly. I do not want them showing up at my door armed to the teeth bc my scary ass white neighbor thinks I’m “in the wrong neighborhood”… and while I was serving, I was almost killed by 2 caucasian GI’s for that very reason. I was also stopped for the color of my skin for no reason only to have my documents thrown in the vehicle. The other side, I’ve have my military career saved and extended by a White Captain,when my Black supervisor failed to supervise, and assist.
I’m saying all this to say… all DEMS or LIBERAL or Black people or any other label used to separate ppl is just that. I’d just challenge all of us to rethink our purpose. Black people arent making white ppl poor… the rich are. You have to be in power to be responsible. And even when we had a black president… he answered to a whole bunch of folks that look nothing like me, hue wise. I respect ppl that see me for me. I worked to defend the same principles you desire, not to be cut out of them… just as you desire not to. But yet here we are politically still asking to vote… just 1 time per person…and have it actually be equal to all the other votes. So that’s what I didn’t understand. Bc I don’t want you to be “responsible” for slavery, but at the same time… I don’t want my house to be appraised at less bc of my skin color, I don’t want ice tea poured on my fellow black soldier (in TEXAS this happened) because I stoped at the wrong rest stop that still doesn't serve blacks. That’s all. Is that too much too ask?
I just wanna live… with the same safety and freedoms everyone else enjoys.

Great post. 👍
And I happen to love Watermelon. I live in a prominently black neighborhood. Could give two shits what someones skin color is.
My Wife of 35 yrs is Hispanic.
Treat me with respect and I will treat you with respect. Act like a prick and I will treat you like a prick.

You just said it yourself, if you read between the lines. you work hard you prosper. You are lazy you live off entitlements. By the way I wasn't quoting Morgan Freeman exactly but he said on camera essentially what you just said. Plus I said "All Walks Of Life".
 
Morning OFC. Record heat today. Every thing is burning up. My water bill will look like a house payment. Hope the huge demand doesn't cause a power outage.

Fargin rabbits are munching in my veggie garden. This rabbit repellent isn't working.....time for my pellet gun! Mrs Pute isn't gonna like that but I gotta do what I gotta do.

Already to hot for coffee....
 
Afternoon OFC. Feels like a wasted day to me. Fargin heat has me all hot around the collar. Clouds have wandered over and that helps some but still feels like a blast furnace out. I have spent most of the day piddling about in the basement. Decided to process kief. Off to the store for day ice and back to the basement. Other that that I haven't done squat today.

Gonna try the rabbit repellent one more time before I start blasting away. I don't have a problem with deer here my fence keeps them out. I suppose they could jump a 6' fence but they never have. Between the rabbits, rats and birds I have enough critters to deal with anyway.

Going out to dinner with two sets of neighbors tonight they are all pushing 80......sounds like fun doesn't it......NO! But you gotta do what you gotta do. I would love to get them stoned.....they might just loosen up and be fun.....Two of them love the current commander in chief in Washington which makes it even more challenging....I will have to watch what I say....wouldn't want to hurt their feelings.....I have to keep reminding myself they live right across the street.....I Need To MOVE.

I do believe I'm gonna join ya. Gotta mow the back field today 'cause the weather is gonna get wet, and all it will take for the back to get out of control is a little more rain. It's kinda the saying here in Michigan, "If it ain't snowin', I'm mowin'."
 
Morning OFC. No rain here. We now have several wildfires burning in Colorado. Another 100 degree day coming. We went from a wet spring to sweltering heat.

Cutting and hanging a Ghost Express today. That will keep me in the cool basement most of the morning. Might just hang out down there all day. Stays in the mid to upper 60's down there.

Not much going on after that..... might as well get stoned.
