My husband sometimes goes home to vote in Italy. Civic duty even though it's not been his main address since September 2001.

And he has skin in the game here - because he's married to a black woman and owns his own business.

No one said you didn't. We aren't talking about you.

We are talking about the snotty barb trying to get me to boot him from the group.

He's not an ally of black Americans and I won't accept him as such. I also understand from prior posts he's in the top 1-3 percent from a North Afican country - places not warm and fuzzy to the black folk there!

I'm so pleased that black people are getting angry redruddyred Aug 2015 #1
