insistence that my appearance, while "ethnic" perhaps, is not a racial distinction? To me, white is Anglo Saxon Christians. I am none of those things. Help me with this, please. All thoughts welcome. Thank you and democracy and getting away from the white man's agenda.

So help me folks. I want to support multiethnic, multicultural, multigender diversity and growth as it is to me how we learn to solve problems in a variety of ways, hear stories of other struggles and triumphs, when we are open, we learn. How do I distinguish that from this

I also hate the codification of humans and refuse to participate in any questions regarding race, gender and ethnic identifiers. When you're a long-term patient, those forms are shoved in your face all the time. I'm dug in and battled more than once as I "must be something."

Not my parents. Yet, despite "appearing" white, I have never once in my life identified that way. Rather, I feel outside of what racial and ethnic groups are here. Judaism has little room for an anti-zionist, non-religious, irreverent independent minded girl much less woman.

As a USA immigrant of Persian Jewish genetics with both Hispanic and Ashkenazic blood, my parents worked. THey sponsored immigrant refugees from Jamaica in the 60s, emplyoying, housing and then funding their families to come here. The affection in my life came from Rosa and Lena.

LOL! I feel better now. It was also the terms used. I see red after the use of certain descriptors of humanity when they are the targets not just of USA but throughout history.
I stay to myself with my kitty cat. I've had years of practice isolating and social distancing which during my years never had a name so if anything I feel people may be able to relate better to some of my own personal Trauma from being away from Humanity for so damn long

I'll agree with the last part the first part sounded a little too soon for that joke kind of thing but you know me I get over it fast ;-)

Honestly I think John McCain was taking great pleasure in putting him in his place. The man didn't have long to live after all and it was time to give that thumbs down which was really a big middle finger up ;-)

Politically we were never really aligned at all but when it came respect? John McCain was his own man he did not follow the leader and stay silent in fact he always held his ground for that I will respect him always. Also my husband was Mia and p o w. Younger then Trump. Awful

I will never forget that epic thumbs-down and the subsequent refusal of him to allow any Trump member at his funeral. I was giggling the whole time and yelling right on! LOL

When I first saw that earlier today I choked on vomit back from my mouth it was that awful noise like a how diluted do people have to be or are they simply playing games because they can? Sickening
Thank you. I appreciate you too! It's not easy hanging in with me people get extra stars for that ;-)

I'd go beyond sedated. Lock him in a padded cell with no access to any human Comfort end of story he'll rip out his face in a few weeks if not before deny the narcissist attention and he will self annihilate
Personally I find the concept of stoicism very damaging I'm sure for some other people it is a very fine coping tool. I'd have exploded a long time ago. ;-)
