My wife just found out that my niece boyfriend has some issues in his background. It’s bad enough where she is not going to be able to see him anymore. I feel bad for her because other people have to make that decision for her but that is simply the way it is.

This made me think… in history how many people would do some horrible things and all they had to do is move a few counties away and use another name and nobody would ever know. They could simply start over again and all that would have been in another life. Now of days that doesn’t work. Everything you do will follow you forever. You make a mistake at 18 years old and that mistake is going to follow you until you die. One stupid mistake and you’re marked forever … now is that a bad thing. I mean if someone at 18 is caught molesting a child at what age do you trust them around kids again (now these are your children I’m referring to)

I’m not sure and I’m thankful that isn’t something we have to deal with but I was just thinking about how mistakes follow you throughout your lives now. I saw on FaceBook where this girl admitted to being a racist, that she “hated blacks and spics”. Now even if this is her hanging out with a group of friend acting tough… that has marked her for life. It wasn’t something she said in private with the group of friends she put it out there for the world to see and record.

I truly think this is the first generation that a lot of them really don’t understand what being racist is. That one race isn’t better than another race of people. Than being gay isn’t a shame and you don’t have to like a life of lying to yourselves and everyone else.

We still have hatred, we still have bigots, and there are many homophobic out there, but I have to admit we’ve came a long way since 1969.  Remember the 70’s shows, What’s Happening, Good Times, The Cosby Kids, Sanford and Son? When they played these shows and others I sort of thought that’s how all black people were. Then came the Cosby Show, Fresh Prince of Bellaire to show us that people are all the same but with different skin. I’m white and I have relatives like Fred Sanford. lol But sadly have relatives like Archie Bunker. Times are changing all of us

I don’t care who you are you have to admit Buck Wheat was funny as hell and the star of the show.
