Racism

(Louisa, VA. USA)

I have been a cowboy most of my life. When there was not enough money to pay the bills I would take on other work.

I train horses for a living, and work farms and ranches when I need to. I also fall back on my military training from time to time to add income.

Cowboys mostly use simple logic. It mostly comes through lifes experience.

This is mine. "Racism is a stupid notion, and wasted emotion." I don't have time for it.

I was born free, and have lived life by my decision. I can hate someone or like them based on what I think of that person. That is enough. Race, color, Gender or religion has nothing to do with it.

The Media in this country wants to divide us. They now go as far as putting us in classes. I have no class for I am crude. I don't think they know what to do with someone like me.

If we don't all come together to take back control of this country we will lose. That is for sure. As Americans we are not minorities. No one should forget that. Mass demonstrations will put things back in order. If not we could always throw another tea party.

It is funny what can overwhelm people. I went into a small bar for a wiskey. I love good wiskey. There were five white fellas in there. (I am white) I guess because I was in a cowboy hat and boots they did not like me. They stared hard at me and mumbled a bunch of crap. I stared back. (I am unafraid. Fear can take your freedom.) I walked into the restroom. When I returned I stared at them some more. They left quickly. You would think they had never seen a naked cowboy before. Like I said. "I like good wiskey."

If my spelling is poor or I lack some commas in places, TOUGH! I am a cowboy not a PHD.
