We are in a suburb of a large city.
We have had many different races come tonight Trick-or-Treating. Some were new Americans with strong accents. I think the whites were the minority. We really enjoy the diversity!
All are welcome!!!!

(118,630 posts)elderly male patient. The orderly was explaining to the older man how many of Canada's social programs came to be in the early 1970s. How we had to watch out for those forces that will try to undo them. And to watch out for the false narrative that will start it all. Immigrants to Canada are encouraged to contribute to social capital. It has traditionally been high in rich places like the US North and low in the US South. Think listening to public radio, volunteering, union participation, political participation, giving up your seat on the bus to someone feeble, chit chatting with the bus driver, participating in festivals, etc.
I'm not gloating. I'm thanking you in the USA for going through what you have gone through and talking about it so we all could be warned. That being said it does look like the GOP base has been encouraged to do the opposite of increasing social capital: look at all the black people who are being turned in for being a kid and having a lemonnaide stand, for opening a business while black, minding their own business. I wonder how those antisocial capital instructions are getting out and who is responsible for starting the meme.

(152 posts)I wanted to chime in and say that both my direct neighbors are refugees from war torn countries and moved here from Sudan early 2000's and Burma (more recently). These families are hard working folks and their kids received scholarships to public universities and are doing well. I'm a middle age white guy and we need less of my demographic controlling everything and transition to new diverse leadership opportunities for our communities, states, and the Country. We can see how well the old white guys have been leading the Country...
