Maybe I over-reacted Chas. It just seemed like you were saying that any criticism of the President has to be because he is Black, which to me makes YOU the racist. Anyone who knows me will know that I am certainly not a racist.
I strongly disagree with many of the things our President has, or is trying to, put into effect. I also disagreed with a lot of thing that the previous President did. It certainly wasn't because of his color and neither is it now.
I apologize to you. You are a talented and well-spoken person. I would not have known, or cared, what color you were, but you have always been pretty quick to bring it up.
I agree to agree to disagree. I suggest we keep making music and leave the political topics to a more appropriate venue.
As for Bill, as he mentioned, he was raised in an environment where just about everyone was racist. He has grown way past all that. I came from a different State and upbringing where Native Americans (my heritage) were often discriminated against so I didn't have an adverse opinion of anybody, unless it was based on their behavior, not color of skin. Down here in Louisiana, the vast majority of violence is done by Black people, and the vast majority of the victims are also Black people. Shreveport has a Black Mayor, Cedric Glover, who is a personal friend of mine and he is probably the best thing that has happened to the city in generations.
My point is only that I disagree with the President and could care less what color he is. (I would like to see his birth certificate though.)
