honestly the problem starts at identifying as "black" .... people dont think about it, but never have humans pre-ambled their racial identities until now in human history. Nobody is "black" nobody is "white" ... the language alone brings about division. differences always existed , but it was not "racial" (social construct) it was tribal and much much less prominent
people want to be seen as "not other than" but go through every obstacle to determine themselves as "other than" . We are ALL mixed, there is truly no one anything except human

Good stuff. Raising good kids who become part of the solution because they’re taking care of business and are decent human beings; paying attention to local government; recommitting to the family unit; resisting siren song “lean on me” when sung by the Fed; delivering the goods at Substack Diner - order up! Keeping the Faith. Thanks to both of you.
Great guest! LOL.
Thanks for a great interview Connie.
