Bitch, what are you thankful for? You could have been born in Northern Ireland, and blown up by a bomb. Or you could have been born Jewish in Nazi Germany...or Muslim in Bosnia. What kind of a statement is that to make to any African-American, that I should be thankful to be born in the USA, where once I was proud, and today, I'm appalled and in horror at the public display going on. Who knew racism, bigotry and hate was so virulent, tangible and lurking beneath the surface all this time. Smiling in our faces while hiding the knife, which could have been impaled , at a moment's notice, as soon as our heads were turned. And you have the audacity to suggest that it's our own doing.
Whiners? Mentally ill? Oh, that I could be in a room alone with you for 5 minutes. Enlightenment would be all I'd have to offer you.
