All the businesses closed and everybody was sent home, but the lynching did not happen that time. Feel your white privilege if you like. I was born 5 years after you, so there's not that Jim Crow guilt going on. LOL! You must live in some ivory tower, if you think black folks are the only low wage earners. Most of these issues are driven by poverty, which is growing among all Americans. You are privileged to be able to retire? I will be working til I'm dead. No pension here. We need to unite to change that rather than divide along racial lines or any other lines, for that matter. Feel the guilt for me. Thanks.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
