78. Kyrie Eleison,
I’ve never lived in exclusively ‘Irish’/'Black’/'Italian’/'Hispanic’/'Asian’ neighborhoods even though I’m sure they ‘exist’. -But, is that a weird form of ‘self-segregation’? My husband grew up in the Chicago area and he *did* live in an ‘Italian neighborhood’ of sorts but, I grew up with friends of all ‘shades’ of the ethnic rainbow and when my husband would tell me about the ‘ethnically’ divided neighborhoods he experienced I just couldn’t understand it because, I guess, frankly, I haven’t ‘lived’ it.
Even though the part of WA state I live in is predominantly white, the ethnic diversity is ‘here’ at least a ‘little’ bit. Seattle and the bigger cities usually have more black people.
The ‘other’ problem is, calling black men ‘Uncle Toms’ who join the GOP. Good grief. WHY?
The GOP needs a major overhaul, no doubt about it. I also think term limits would help the situation on both sides of the isle.
P.S. I really hate the term ‘Grand Old Party’. I dunno why but that phrase just makes me think of old men crapping in their diapers in an old folks’ home.
