And that's part of the problem. We've got all these people making all these pronouncements about the black community, when in reality they really don't know sheep shit from wild honey...Unless you've grown up with them and known them all your life, some of your (collective you) understanding is incomplete.

So, I can actually get behind a holiday that commemorates the freeing of the slaves. It's symbolically a major turning point in this country, and quite frankly, it's a good reminder to BLM today that slaves were freed 150 years ago.

@Loki ouststanding!
Tomorrow I'll go for a saunter, perhaps an amble!
If I'm feeling adventurous, I might even stroll!
