has turned this once-useful department against his perceived enemies, destroying its credibility in the process, it occurred to me that this goes back to the early 70's. He and his kkk father were nailed by the DOJ for their refusal to rentt to blacks in the apartments that were built with taxpayer money. We know that the orange screwworm holds grudges. And, in his outrageous use of the department as his personal mob protection racket, he has a three-fer. Going after his enemies, and destroying the credibility of the department that dared punish him for wrongdoing. And using OUR money wiith which to do it.
I daresay this is hardly original, but it did strike me rather forcefully.

My kids grew up overseas and in the international schools, strangely, there did not seem to be racism of skin color. My kids did not see racism of skin color until they moved back to the states when they were in 2nd and 5th grade. They didnt understand. I had to explain it to them. I loved that when they were in international schools, that they identified each other by country. They found each other on the map. They celebrated that they could find their friends country on the map. The schools promoted pride in the diversity of kids from different countries. Skin color was not in my childrens vocabulary until they moved back to the US. Which was sad. They were kind of shocked that that was a thing.,

A number of us come from military backgrounds, going to different schools, seeing, being amoung, any number of different cultures. Going out into the civilian world was the first time I encountered overt racism, and I just did not understand it at all. I still don't.
