Kevin rang to see if I was going anywhere for Thanksgiving dinner, which was kind of him, but I am going to my friend, Donna on the other side of Tecumseh. I was looking at smoked salmon in Walmart to make some little pre lunch appetisers to take, and they were selling "imitation" crab and "imitation" lobster - the smoked salmon looked genuine though. I reflected on the fact that for someone brought up on an island in the North Sea the lack of decent fish here is a bit hard to take sometimes. The beef is good though.
I am about to wade into the muddy waters of political incorrectness here, so all who may be offended - You Have Been Warned.
In the news, a young pregnant mother was murdered in a home invasion by two black youths while her husband was out at the gym. Also in the news - and not connected to this story - there seems to be a lot of racial unrest here at the moment, and there have been mass demonstrations on the streets, black people (or 'people of colour' as they prefer to be called) chanting "Black Lives Matter". Oh Yes. How about SOMEONE, ANYONE, telling the black youth of America that White Lives Matter, because it seems to me - the bystander here - that nearly all the crime and violence here is perpetrated by black youth.
I will no doubt be told - and if I am not told it will be thought - that this is all a lie, put out by the evil Fox News, and in actual fact all the crime and violence is actually perpetrated by white people.
And believe it not, I never used to have a racist bone in my body. This is what living here does to you.
