And yet another rant

 Yesterday I took a friend to get some things done.  On our way back home we began talking about many things among them the idea that white is always right.  Now my friend is Black, or as she says "chocolate" and a very good Christian.  We talked about aging in the old days and I said people didn't live as long and she told me her ancestors did.  The only thing I could think of as to why this was, and I told her this, was that before becoming slaves her ancestors had to be strong in order to stay alive in Africa what with all the wildlife and the conditions of the weather, etc., where my ancesters didn't have to contend with that and I believe that made us weaker.  However, I am a mutt of a few different European species, Scot, Irish, Welsh, German, and a few others I haven't found yet so I think that my goal to live to be 104 will be an easy thing to accomplish because mutts live longer than most purebreds.  We had a good laugh.  I enjoy talking to her because she accepts me for the fool I am.

Another rant

 Listening to an early morning radio show I heard that a Black Republican came up with the idea that the United States is not racist.  All I could think of was that he lives in his own little world and is in for a very rude awakening someday soon.  That's as bad as "Christian" women thinking that they are equal to men in all ways, nice to believe but when you consider the fact that a woman doing the same job as a man doesn't get equal pay; that a woman applying for the same job as a man and being more fit for the job but the man gets it...yeah how about that.  Then consider the fact that in most cases, not all, after she comes home she has to fix dinner, clean up and take care of kids while, for the most part, the husband is worn out and watches TV at his leisure and enjoys his time off from work.  I know, it isn't that way for most families but this does still exist.
