Good Day America, how you all been feeling today, I hope its been good to you all. Shouts out to my " Vocal Avengers " who keep my stuff mega hits, luv you all. Okay, I want to take you back to 2 topics I did a while back. If you follow me I did a topic on Hurricane Harvey. I also did one on troubles of Charlottesville. This time I want to combine the two sides. Are you a supporter of how Houston came together with love & every race got involved. Or Are you a supporter of rounding up the good ol'e boys for a Confederate Get together? Now here's what I dug up for you all. What made Meyerland so beautiful this week was the way the people were helping each other regardless of race or ethnicity. It didn't matter if young or old, black or white, Catholic or Muslim. In Meyerland this last week, the people of Houston were there for each other. Okay, follow me America, it continues to say, apparently, we Americans are now two things simultaneously, a people who will rescue our neighbors from their washed-out homes, regardless of skin color, and a people who will foment the most noxious racial hatred or so called , alternately, eager consume stories about those who do. America, we have to ask ourselves " But then why did Charlottesville protest happen?" Well to grapple with Houston Vs. Charlottesville dichotomy, one must acknowledge how multi-facet our racial problems are in America. They are problems of personal character. They are problems of inequality before the law. the problems can be housing, schooling, & voluntary segregation. Particularly broken are our modern media systems. Okay in pure English are you a supporter of Houston's action to reunite people during the time of crisis? Are you supporter of a gathering of folks that feel like people that think like them should rally for the sake of confederacy? So Lets talk about Charlottesville, hey it was a meeting among not just Southern Confederates, you maybe a right-winger. You might been white separatist? A Klan's men, or 4th Reich Skinhead. You want to gather among your icons statues and march for there cause. Then a mad man ram sacked a crowd of innocent anti protestors. instead of lives coming together, well...lives was being lost or injured. instead of " Hey Buddy let me help you with money, food, shelter, medicines" Instead you find yourself without those at Charlottesville. So America let's talk about it, how you feel?

Well America, my take is I am team Houston. I like to hear that people are working to help each other and not tear each other down especially in a time of need. I think Charlottesville should of been a private event among confederates only. Why bring your message to the streets where you know all walks of life of people will opposed. Wanting to have a pass to say hurtful language or to think you want to bring Jim Crowe laws back to the states is ridiculous to me. To All my Houston residents if you know anything of Meyerland did a wonderful job in not allowing race to divide state of mind. I also say this America, Our taste as media consumers are, all too often, tying their hands. You & I are the anonymous computer users who are tracking the most inflammatory protestors depictions, the most lurid white supremacist accounts,& the most sensational fake news stories. You & I are the consumers who lock media purveyors into an economic straight jacket, promoting conflict rather than reconciliation. The future of racial reconciliation in America, quite frankly is going to be in the bathroom plumbing & Sheet rock nails.

I feel picking a side is part of the problem

life is just not that neat and people are not all good or all bad nor do they make all the right choices all the time .. they are merely human

My mom used to say 'one can understand without justifying' I feel like I understand those who are suffering and making poor choices

that being said....


I feel there is a big difference between the response to natural disasters which tend to FORCE people into the same experience, so to speak

and political or social issues that naturally attract people with different experiences, and therefore perceptions, to have differing reactions...

Houston is also much more diverse which could account for people being a bit more accustomed to being 'together' than in Charleston.

You already know, I am on the side of the golden rule and 'but for God there go I' So I have a perspective that usually involves empathy and understanding before judgment and persecution(usually)

so it is easy for me to see the homeless person and empathize instead of judge

so it is easy to see that drug addict and empathize instead of judge

it is easy to see that single struggling parent and empathize instead of judge

it is easy for me to see the urban kid who joins a gang for survival or out of fear and empathize instead of judge

it is harder for me to adapt an 'us vs them' attitude , BUT for many it is the opposite,

it is very hard for them to IMAGINE their lives as anything but what it is because of the notion of deserving it or having 'merit', so it becomes easy for them to see others lives as what they 'deserve' as well,, and that ,as you said, is about personal character

and since so much of our 'personal character' comes from what we absorb from our family , our culture, our national history, it continues to recycle and be at the root of how we address the next hot button issue or concern.....

... its like many complain about healthcare until they are the ones who need it, or about welfare, or any other assistance some people get

its hard to empathize when its not part of your culture or your example and its easier to judge ,,,,

Sorry America I have a lot to say about this one, check me In short, there is little hope now for institutional solution to our racial conflicts because, quite frankly, too many of our institutions these days are unfriendly toward racial reconciliation. Most often they actively accelerate our conflicts. Consider again our modern media systems. At Heart of todays media feedback loop is a body of perverse & self-perpetuating incentives. Eyeballs & clicks are the coin of the realm. They are after all what attract advertising dollars.

It's a no brainer Eye, team Houston here

To be honest, I don't think the Charlottesville team even comes close to the numbers you think bud. that's for real!

Good day lovely, well right now Houston is a stricken city. Several hundred thousand cars are probably lost. The damage has hit countless hospitals, refineries, & corporate office buildings. Thousands of homes are unsalvageable. The People saw the prize. They kept there mines on helping again not tear apart. Ms Harmony check this out , follow me , I think the evidence from hurricane Harvey is conclusive there is still a great deal of hope for racial reconciliation in America. When life, & housing are on the line, we Americans are ready to sacrifice for our neighbors- even when they're different from ourselves.

Time will tell Eyeam. I think natural disaster has not been assigned to a race, and that may be the reason that race doesn't come into play,,,


unlike with poverty, or housing, or employment or crime ...etc

there have always been good people and I always knew that, I just question whether they are becoming outnumbered by the greedy and incompassionate....

JohNN111,


Welcome back, well I say the same thing but there people support team Charlottesville. Some say " Will if we can have a statue of MLK, well we want our statue Robert E. Lee up. And for those who support Lee being general during the civil war, lets not forget he abundant his troops once he saw the north was kick ***....lol.

Hey Buddy I actually talk to a Pennsylvania chapter of the KKK. He was a grand dragon. We sat & he told me Charlottesville was just was supposed to be a small gathering of the North Carolina Chapter to pay support for they're cause. He said he did not condoned the violence driver during the event. He said the Klan is for pride of its people, acknowledgement of its people not for killing minorities. Which I though was a pile of Monkey mess but it was a peaceful talk. So as he & I was conversing, I never once felt like I should be on fear mode. He proceeds to tell me his brothers are more upset at the way our powers that be running this country. I told him well I think that's a universal thought even my people feel the same way, so we laughed together. just for that moment, we didn't fear or wish harm to each other. when we split apart I am should you still see me beneath dirt, and in some ways I still thought he was a piss ant but at least we talk.

Ms Harmony,


Well you probably right, but I am team Houston. How's the people of Hurricane Irma In south Florida?

America, we can use Houston for a prime example of racial tolerance. I not going to knock Charlottesville, only for the fact we all know it has it problems. America, close your eyes, get into your sub conscious mind and picture you put all your close mindedness away. Picture a vast place of America, picture everybody is about love, helping each other, and other great acts. wouldn't that be a place to be? Way to go Houston I'm proud of your state. Keep up the good work.
