Tornado Alley (PROG)

I have posted on the ongoing discrimination in this country, sorry you missed it or forgot.

It's an ongoing concern of mine as, historically, I'm no fan of white people or of America. Don't believe the hype.

I'm not black
But there's a whole lots a times
I wish I could say I'm not white”

While America has obviously made some strides in the racial bias department, we can still count on the police to continue to murder and imprison black people in disproportionate numbers. Just like the good old days and, apparently, like Australia. I'm reading a book now about the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII, a sobering account. How Americans can feel even slightly like they're entitled to take the moral high ground is a mystery. About anything. I believe it's called hypocrisy.

But, seriously, folks, I have a good friend who's married to an Aussie and they spend 6 months a year in Melbourne. I hear good things about the place, of course, and if you could only move the country a little closer to here, I might visit for a while.
