WHITE BROWN’S PLAYER SETH DE VALVE KNELT DURING THE ANTHEM AND EXPLAINS “HE WILL BE RASING CHILDREN THAT DON’T LOOK LIKE ME”…..Now here is a man…who is aware of what the hell is going on within our country…..he married an African-American woman….I married a German woman….he has kids….we have kids….anyone who married into an inter-racial marriage….and have bi-racial children…can feel us….Seth is looking at the picture….he sees what’s going on….and the future is not giving a positive picture as to where we might end up…..me,….and my friends…over here….who are in the same situation….as Seth….we have to deal with the same thing….but differently…..we’re dealing with a multi-cultural thing over here…..back home…is just plain old racism….and it’s waking up…..and your multi-cultural thing?…..it’s not the same as….across the pond….ok, you say your Italian-American…..German….French…..Nigerian…..Asian whatever…..you feel me?…..now my question is this…..how many of you have actually visited, lived in or was actually born in the country you’re claiming?……..you can’t walk down a city block back home…and hear over 15 different languages….but we can…..yes, you can come visit your ancestry…..for a minute….but over here it’s…..different…..we can visit what you’re claiming…..when it comes to your  DNA/RNA……and get to know people….with different opinions when it comes to race…..and believe me, it’s hard to figure out what another person thinks or feels about you ….some are from another cultural world….and you might be the first one they’ve seen or met…..so Seth…..they’ll be ok…..because the both of you will make sure…..they’re ok…..make sure they know their identity, who they are, their history….people on both sides of the fence…..because their world is not going to be easy.

AND WHO SAYS KIDS DON’T LISTEN…..This one’s for the parents out there…..Let me introduce you to Mr. Gary Deming…..from Providence, Rhode Island….Gary, who was arrested for armed robbery of a convenience store…..Gary, who stunned the police when they arrived and realized Gary wasn’t robbing the store with a gun…..Gary, was robbing the place with a…..potato….yep, dude stuck-up the joint with a tater…..now, I know you’re sitting there and wondering….huh?…..well wonder no more……here’s Gary’s story…..this is Gary when he was 10…..

“Mom? Danny, Geoff and I want to play cops and robbers but I lost my toy pistol. Will you buy me a new one?……No, Gary. Do I look like I’m made of money? You’ll just have to play with something else. Here. This sack of potatoes has been in the pantry for two months. Play with them…..These aren’t guns mom…..(Gary’s mom put her hands on his shoulders, squats down, looks Gary meaningfully in the eyes and says)…. “Gary, listen to me. Anything can be a gun if you just believe.”

A MAN ATTEMPTED TO ROB A UTICA BANK WITH A TOILET PLUNGER…..Gary’s cousin maybe?….at least with a plunger…you can swat at someone….but a potato?….you have one shot and you better make it count…..unless you come in with a bag full of diced taters….then you can have a some kind of machine gun thing going on….sorry,….still waiting for the coffee to brew…..it’s early over here.

SUPERMARKET REMOVES ALL FOREIGN FOOD FROM SHELVES TO MAKE A POINT ABOUT RACISM…..The one thing I’ll give Hamburg is this…..if they want to make a point…the city and the people will…..the Edeka supermarket chain made a bold move….they opted to solely sell German food for a day….in order to make a statement about racism and ethnic diversity….so when you walked into the store….there were no Greek olives, Italian pasta, Spanish tomatoes……nothing from a foreign country…. “Edeka stands for diversity and we produce a wide range of food in our assortment, which is produced in the different regions of Germany. But it is together with products from other countries that we create the unique diversity that our customers value.”…..not a bad way to get people to say hello to a stranger….I can think of many things…from other countries….I’d miss.

GERMANY BANNED NAZI SYMBOLS AT A NEO-NAZI MARCH IN BERLIN…..HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED…..Hundreds of hate people from all over Germany…..decided to gather in a city called Spandau…..been there….wasn’t on my top 10 places to visit bucket list….anyway,….they reason they came was…remember Rudolf Hess?…really bad guy back in the day…World War II……anyway,…he was arrested….went through the Nuremburg trials….found guilty…and was sent to….I think Spandau Prison….you look it up….I’m tired….anyway,…..he didn’t want to finish his life sentence….and hung himself….now, they tore the prison down so that it wouldn’t become some type of Nazi shrine to a few people….well that didn’t work….because it became a shrine to a lot of people…..anyway,…..that’s not what’s bothering the people watching them….what’s eating at them is….the way neo-Nazis are communicating in a new type of code…..it could be a white, black and red striped flag….which no other nation recognizes…..people held banners quoting the final statement of Herr Hess…. “I do not regret anything”….cryptic signs…..runic lettering (another neo-Nazi obsession) on the back of hoodies and matching T-shirts….one man carried a Norwegian flag with the cross in the middle colored black instead of blue….neo-Nazi idolize Nordic people and their heritage….viewing them as members of a pure Aryan race…..hate to blow your bubble hate people….but true Aryan’s came from the Middle Eastern area…..and as for the Swastika?…..it was a religious symbol….that Hitler changed for his own purposes……but that wasn’t what bothered the authorities….….there was this certain kind of….eerie tranquility going on….the haters stood in complete silence…..no chants….no shouting….when a few reporters decided to approach them….they turned their backs and said……nothing……now they’re saying this is what a neo-Nazi march looks like in a liberal democracy…..that heavily restricts Nazi speech…..hey, they can hold a speech….but they can’t display Nazi era slogans….or making racially derogatory comments….that rule should apply to everyone….just sayin’…..the rally organizers also didn’t allow anyone talking to reporters, have no cell phones and drink no booze……you can say what you want to say…..but….the law is the law….you only need a permit to say what you want to say….but don’t worry people back home….at least the Gov. over here is paying attention…..sometimes…..and the good thing is….at least the Anti and For…..protesters aren’t showing up at rallies with AR rifles and guns on their hips.
