For all you morons who joke about conspiracy theories when it's just you are either in denial or flat out don't understand something. Here is a little primer in cycles and the Fourth Turning as it applies to generational change and what's going on in
today's politics:

Very interesting stuff from 2014 ... it is all of us "old people" that
are the "problem" right now.
Soylent Green was a 1973 prediction ... not yet!
Seems like we're entering the Turner Diaries timeline really.
I hope not ...
I grew up during Jim Crow and was at LSU when David Duke was in operation.

When I moved to Dayton, Ohio, for my four years at Wright=Patterson AFB
in 1969, I was surprised that there were so few black folks in all the neighborhoods on the east side of town but was told that "they" mostly
kept to themselves on the west side. I was surprised. During all my
extensive travels during those four years, all over the USA (California
to NY and in between), I was surprised at the way non-white folks (not
just black folks) were "considered").
I learned about black folks from my Mammie Tee and George, who helped in
the yard. Tee was ironing one day and seemed to me to be hurting
somehow ... I asked. "What's the matter Mammie Tee?"
She said she had "the miseries".
I asked "What are "the miseries". She replied: "Oh, just a headache and
a little sore." And I in my innocence remarked: "Mammie Tee, you get headaches!?"
Her reply causes me to tear up even now when I relate the story ...
"Why, chile, I flesh and blood, just like you."
Many restaurants were "Restricted" in my childhood summers in Miami Beach.
Folks need to study a little about "prejudice" in our history ... or
pick your own word to use.

All this
one size fits all ... "I know the truth" ... you know nothing and I know everything ...
Maybe always was and always will be ... I hope not.
