@avarbrown0607 @originieicloud1 @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow I've been laying in bed wrapped in my compression device. It helps eliminate the fluids that build up in me because of stage 4 chronic kidney disease. I'm done now and better get up and get some things done. I've enjoyed our conversation & I'm glad I met you bye for now.

@avarbrown0607 @originieicloud1 @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow Sins of the father's handed down to the third and fourth generation. Old Testament biblical. Is that valid in New Testament times? It's promised I will be forgiven if I ask. What does the Bible say about forgiving those who have sinned against you? That sounds biblical too.

@avarbrown0607 @originieicloud1 @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow As a whole we don't understand, that's just a fact, and when you can't have a civil discussion about it, it doesn't help. I would agree they have a right to be and ARE angry, but hatred divides.

@avarbrown0607 @originieicloud1 @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow Compare us, or the size of our crosses, I just offered it as an explanation as to why white privilege is hard for a white person to understand. I didn't ask for it, didn't know I had it, don't know how to get rid of it, or even things up. Your right, money alone won't fix it.

@avarbrown0607 @originieicloud1 @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow My son and son in law are both in law enforcement, of course living in rural America would not be the same as inner City, but it kind of gives me maybe a skewed perspective. I see the police as the good guys. Another disconnect. But your point is well taken. I did not mean it to

[Ken Hale @OriginalBamBam]

@avarbrown0607 @originieicloud1 @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow I think we could come to terms, but I think it would have to be something the majority of Americans could see and understand. Not you, but the angry and dismissive way I've been treated by some during this conversation isn't helpful in changing hearts and minds.

[Ken Hale @OriginalBamBam]

@avarbrown0607 @originieicloud1 @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow ... Current gov responsible. u guys have really helped me understand white privilege. u haven't used the term, but I get it now. It's just like if your foot had hurt since the day you were born you would deny it hurt, it doesn't FEEL like I've lived a privileg life, it's beenHARD

@avarbrown0607 @originieicloud1 @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow Ava, I appreciate the dignity u have been extending me. Thank u. I am, & have always been angry at our gov. 4 the evil they did to different groups at different times. Our main disconnect is I am angry at the different gov's that did the deeds, not the current gov. U hold our...

@originieicloud1 @avarbrown0607 @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow Embarrassed again. I was thinking if 4k apiece was 1.3 trillion, 10 mill is 25 times more so 25x1.3 but I was doing it in my head. The 4k figure was based on 30 mill who could be traced back. The much simpler equation of course 30mill x 10mill. But 20trill,300trill,410trill or

@bold_justice @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow You may think my beliefs are dumb, but you know by the way I express myself that I am not dumb.

[Ken Hale @OriginalBamBam]

@bold_justice @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow "Can you read? That’s not a list of grievances dumb dumb, that’s the compensation". Those were your exact words. Had you said "that's a dumb thing to say" you would have been just stating an opinion and that's ok, I made a dumb mistake. You were name calling.

[Ken Hale @OriginalBamBam]

@bold_justice @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow To call someone out for name calling is not whining. The person doing the name calling might need to grow up. I apologized for my mistake, are you man enough to do the same?

[Ken Hale @OriginalBamBam]

@bold_justice @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow I made a mistake, and I apologized. y b mean? As 2 growing up. I'm a 60 year old man who raised 6 kids 2 B responsible citizens, owns his home on 7 acres, & served my country in the service. I've been 2 every state in the union, Canada, Japan, Korea & MexicoYou know I'm not dumb.

[Ken Hale @OriginalBamBam]

@bold_justice @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow You guys (meaning just the people in this conversation) have educated me a lot. I really do have a better understanding of where you're coming from. I just wish I had done a better job of presenting the non racist white world view.

[Ken Hale @OriginalBamBam]

@bold_justice @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow I thought I had tweeted an apology about being unfamiliar with Twitter and not knowing to click on the article. Once I did and read it I felt pretty silly. I guess I didn't do it right because I don't see it, so once again, I'm sorry.

[Ken Hale @OriginalBamBam]

@originieicloud1 @avarbrown0607 @tariqnasheed @ineedstoknow I'm sorry I got involved in this. Outside of learning a great deal, and better understanding why some would feel the way they do, it has left me heartsick. It's impossible for you to get that money, it will never happen, so this will just fester and consume your time and energy.
