      @blorenzo 5.) But when the soldier saw her VERY dark-skinned husband, only then did he realise she wasn't white.

        @blorenzo 6.) To be denied by a civilian is one thing, but by a fellow service member, man, that hits straight to one's core.

        @blorenzo 7.) To be basically told that you're only good enough to fight our wars is heartbreaking and to think they lived that truth.

        @blorenzo I'm so extremely sorry for the horrific injustices that plague you. Please know most of us do NOT support that! We fight for you!

        @Safari_Street Thanks, I am not looking for an indictment of white America, just the systems that promote this stopped and held accountable.

        @blorenzo My only prejudice views are against my own self entitled people who ignore what's going on in the US. It makes me so angry!

        @blorenzo I never wanted any 1 to "notice" me, I JUST want to help. But I've been guilt ridden my whole life 4 knowing people like my father

        @Safari_Street In my opinion, your father should be looking up to you rather than you carrying his burdens. Your example is more than enough

        @docdebags @SpringerKM I just spoke to a daughter of a WWII Vet on Sunday, to think this madness was going on in my own back yard.

        @blorenzo @docdebags History sometimes feels too close for comfort, I imagine.

        @SpringerKM @docdebags Or maybe some would like to learn their history in "comfort" while allowing others to suffer reality. :/
