The only way it becomes my problem is when you use it to harm me. Don's opinions don't harm me yet. If anything, I learn alot about Don, and I hope to change Don's mind a little. That's one of the things we do here.

"They" use his words to paint everyone else. There's a lot of hysteria on all sides which paints the deeds of some as the deeds of the whole. Pandering media quote out of context slandering the movement, and politicians are fed the negative image some as the negative image of the whole.

A member of my household experienced the requirement of being back across the tracks before dark - up until about 1968 the unwritten rule was enforced by the local police. That stuff is still in peoples heads, even if they might not have any sympathy for the brown racist cause or for the illegals who have come within their life time.
