Questions About John Brown

[My Name Is Kate]

Yes, it is a discussion forum, not an arguing forum. I did think I answered your question but you tell me that I did not. You turned this personal by asking me pointblank what I am willing to do to help with race relations in this country. The implication of your question is that I am being part of the problem, not the solution. My intention on this forum is to try to understand the problem better. I don't see how I can do much to help solve a problem when I don't even understand how the problem developed, and when the people with grievances seem to expect something from other people that they cannot possibly give. So please be fair. Try living in a poor neighborhood where people hate you because of the color of your skin, then maybe you will understand better where I am coming from. You and I have corresponded by PM and emails. You know (or should know) better than most people on this forum, something of my life story. Yet you expect me to have the energy to do something about a monumental problem (race relations).
