    Brown sugar, cinnamon, and a dash of flour. Mix dry and sprinkle according to your sweet level. But when the wife bakes apple pie, she uses Bisquick, brown sugar and cinnamon.

    Sugar. Unfortunately sugar is bad for us. Even more so high fruticose corn syrup.

    I try to eat as little sugar as possible. I like that many labels now separate the natural sugar in the product with the added sugar. Generally if there is any added sugar, I don't get it.

    I'd like to get to the place where we can teach our children how awful slavery was--how it was inhumane and dehumanizing it was--and then show them how kindness creates a better world. Teach them to judge the actions of themselves and others, but not to judge based on how a person looks or their station in life. And then--to let it go...

    I can understand--to a degree--how people might not like stereotypical symbols and might seek to change them, but that practice has led to a madness of sorts. Twenty years ago, when I heard the word, "racism," it shocked me a bit. But, back then, it was applied judiciously to acts and ideas that were truly racist. Back then, they had Skinheads--remember them?--but their numbers were dwindling. They were little rag-tag groups of misfits who held local gatherings of a dozen or so other misfits in a park and tried to hand out fliers to passersby who either shook their heads or took one and then tossed it in the nearest trash can.

    And then came the kerfuffle over the Confederate Flag, and in my opinion, it's been all downhill since then.
    That's the thing - if everything is racist, then nothing is racist, it just becomes an absurdity. Similarly this refrain of 'white privilege' castigates all Whites for the actions of those who abetted and still abet the disadvantaging of Blacks based on racist and classist ideologies and that includes those who continue to promote negative racist stereotypes for profit. Whites haven't so much enjoyed privilege as Blacks have been historically impeded both actively and passively.

    People (on this forum) bemoan the sudden displacement of Whites in commercials in favor of a disproportionate number of Blacks. Instead of bemoaning it, they should be encouraging it because these commercials are challenging the negative stereotypes and portraying Blacks, not as hood rats, but as normal middle class people who work, care about their homes, buy paint, mow their lawns and worry about the health of their families. Negative stereotypes don't just prejudice White people against Blacks, they affect how Black children see themselves and affect the choices that they make in life.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    You are right. Today the word racism is an absurdity.
