MY THOUGHT TO HUMANS OF ALL RACE, COLOR AND CREED; ''I'M JUST AS GOOD AS YOU ARE AND YOU'RE JUST AS GOOD AS ME!


     I like to look at it that way, because I've proven it to be true!
     My lifetime began in a small coal mining town in Canada before the 2nd world War. My family was one of many poor large families back in those days and because of the Great depression, suffered longer than larger towns and Cities in respect to recovering from the effects of the poorer times the Depression created. Something like 10 years behind!
     Surviving from the hard times was even more difficult with larger families such as ours; 11 children and our mother having to bear the responsibility of raising 8 boys and 3 girls virtually by herself due to a husband who never mentally recovered from being a wounded soldier who fought in the 1st world War as a Canadian machine gunner. It was trench warfare against the German onslaught taking place at the time. In other words, He was 100% PTSD, couldn't support a family but was good at producing the worthwhile brood that I'm proud to say my Mother spent  two thirds of her lifetime raising.
     It would take a book to explain my beautiful Mother's life story, but that's for another time!!
     Anyway, as a child and living in the poor condition our family was in for all of our growing years, we were the poorest of the Poor making it by on the small Welfare and 'Child Allowance' checks that seemed like forever to come each month! (Throw in a huge backyard garden every year)
     I have to say, we were never discriminated against by the more affluent families of the town in any way except to say, food was quite often harder to come by for us at times.
     Everything we had was 'hand me downs' stuff and we grew up that way.
     We saw our Mother sometimes sit separate from us at the dinner table and gaze outside at people moving up and down the street. One of us would remark to her, "Mom, aren't you going to eat something?" She'd often reply, "I'm not hungry!" But we all knew that if she did, there wouldn't be enough to go around!
     Often times she would break down and start crying with her head down in her arms!
     How desperate she must have felt at those times!
     Together with all of that, We had 4 older Brothers in the U.S. and Canadian Military for her to also worry about mixed in with those times! They all saw battle and with her prayers, they all came home!
     So anyway, I'm writing this blog so whomever reads it, understands that the expression; "White Privilege" doesn't always apply and isn't fair to my Race as a General sense, or the way other Races so readily apply the expression to us. From what I observe, It's Leaders with desired, alternative lifestyles who wish to divide our culture for their own selfish means such as Universal "Globalism"!
     Due to our Mother's prompting, every one of us felt that as poor as we were, we could still look at others and remind ourselves of this thought in mind; "I'm just as good as you are! No better, no worse!"
     I believe it was with that in mind, that we grew up that way and we did, still feeling that way to this day!
     So now as in the past, I don't look at any race with disdain because with the help of my belief in God, We ARE all created EQUAL!
     But there is a problem though, that doesn't lie in the Races themselves such as you and me who say "HI!" without conviction when passing each other in our casual everyday life.
     Regardless of Race, Color or Creed! 
     It's the so-called Leaders who for their own sake and Greed and self preservation, that spur us weaker ones on, to  divide and place the blame on others for our lack of success in our personal lives.
      THOSE are the ones who benefit from creating and maintaining the divide between Races and really don't care about the Welfare of the People they're claiming to represent!
     For those People, Greed overcomes common sense!
      So reject that notion, take my advice and do this; Smile and say hello to anyone you want to choose to communicate with or meet going into the store or places of business!
     9 times out of 10 you will get a surprised smile back! Throw Race out the window as you do it, and you're sure to make someone's day!
     You'll prove to yourself just what I'm claiming, We need NEW Leaders to encourage this, regardless of RACE COLOR OR CREED and with Representative TERM LIMITS FOR ALL!
     We're all just as good as each other and we can prove it!    Just sayin'!!
