The dividing line



Most everybody has probably already seen this video of a San Bernardino woman castigating an American citizen and his mother gardening at the home next door and calling them illegals, rapists, animals and drug dealing criminals.

When you watch this video do you feel sympathy for the gardener and his mother or the woman in green? Or for neither or both parties? I won't say personally, let you guess, but I do think this is where the rubber meets the road. Welcome to Trump's America.

Did we forget to mention that our former presidential administration was deporting twice the number of illegals (2010 vs 2017 stats) as the current White House resident? Or that Barack Obama also separated illegal alien families and detained migrant children. And prosecuted illegal alien parents for entering the country illegally? It’s bad enough when pressrooms steer the storyline, but we don’t have to take the bait.

I asked a simple question, Phantom. Your answer was nonresponsive. she said "the president said that you were rapists."i don't recall Obama using that sort of invective.

"It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: (White) People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied, they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time." -- Barack Obama
