To those of you who are African American

Last edited Wed Dec 31, 2014, 09:19 PM - Edit history (2)

In this group, or a black person and not AA, I want to thank you.

Thank you for allowing me to join, for your warm, virtual embrace. Thank you for allowing me to post freely. Mostly, thank you for letting me respond within these glass walls and without.

To a very Happy New Year that sees a decline in oppression, an increase in understanding and a country we can all be proud of





Happy New Year

I mean no offense to other members but I believe we are guests in this house. So I wanted to thank the hosts.
