If he is not a globalist, why is he trying to make deals with other countries?

"Yeah, things seemed so simple in 1956 but it wasn’t all that great if you happened to be non-white."

Yes, the world in 1956 was quite different from today in many respects, including race issues. Banks and Realtors redlined neighborhoods. Black folks couldn’t get credit. Minorities worked mostly menial jobs, usually at hard labor. From that standpoint, this country really sucked. The civil rights movement in the South started the turn-around there. The Watts riots in Los Angeles finally woke people up here in California. As for me, I have never understood racism. For some reason, it just doesn’t compute in my brain. I imagine it would be hard for young people today to get their heads around the fact that we actually had a president that locked up over 100,000 Americans in internment camps based solely on their race.

Madame moderator,
Would you please cancel this senseless discussion ?

I think it should go on. It's not down to the level of YouTube banter and still is incredibly civil. It's the one sided censoring at what would seem the behest of those who want it ended that entertains my thoughts as of late.

Wasn't there a thread that was deleted that a certain someone wanted to keep going that traveled the same route as this one? Is it ownership of the thread or the content that irks?

Better minds need chime in before fate intervenes.

All the best,
Nonoise

Very well said and 100% agree. What we long for is the FEELING of security and the sense of order that SEEMED apparent during those times. The Rodney King stuff was crazy wasn't it...humanity, it's a perilous cauldron.

I'm sorry it turned into pro-Trump/anti-Trump, if only for a moment. I've never thought he was a bigot, just insensitive to a degree never seen from our leadership. I believe he is petty and childlike to a degree never seen from our leadership, although one only need listen to a fraction of the Watergate tapes to see that like many things, Trump isn't new or unique. Many thought by electing someone wealthy, that personal gain would have been off the table. That's a reasonable assumption. As I've stated earlier in this thread, we all know alot more than was possible prior to the 24 hour a day news cycle with instant internet searches at a keystroke. Hey, in my lifetime, the press pool would collectively keep mistresses out of the conversation. Imagine that today.

It is certainly within Audiogon's purview to cancel any thread they choose, which you likely know more about than many. Why are you so angry? You drop profanity and snide comments repeatedly. How unfortunate.
