Reply #57: I'm with you on that count

I'm white but I've lived around Black people and Latinos most of my life. I've seen how the Democrats will cater for your vote and then ignore for the next four years. I lived in LA in 1992 during the uprising and I have seen how race is still used in this country to divide us. As a working class white man, I've found I have much more in common with you than I have with a rich white man.
When I see what is going on in this country and in this election I think of the Langston Hughes poem,
A Dream Deferred

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up _like a raisin in the sun? _
Or fester like a sore-- _And then run?
_Does it stink like rotten meat?
_Or crust and sugar over-- _like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags _like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

I'm almost at the point where I'm ready to go to the Green Party.
I'd like to talk to you more about it, but it's late and I'm buzzed.
Peace
