is an area of contention between the African-american people and others, I felt this article was a positive discussion on amerikan race relations. I hope.

1. So much good history remembered, forgotten and not known to me in

Mr. Abdul-Jabbar's articles, always reminding us what's past is always prologue in this crazy battle.

I was surprised to learn of Ms. Franklin's performance at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and that it was considered scandalous by wippl.

2. Yes, I was still in

another country doing my duty for this country. And don't get me wrong. Coming from a military family, I had volunteered for the Army and for duty overseas. I soon learned about the types that derided Ms. Franklin. The anger I carried in my soul when leaving the Army has never stopped. As Rev Sharpton conveyed Aretha Franklin was an activist, singer and always to me and the brothers in Vietnam royalty even before the MSM gave her the props she always deserved.

Wypipo have always taken their jabs at dissent and resistance to assumed privilege and entitlement, whether earned or as is usually the case, unearned. No never mind, what I fought in Vietnam, and after in 1968-69-70-75, is still with us as a racist, sexist, sexual pervert RW potus and a grifter, con family on my property at 1600. I am working on trying to evict them ASAP. As are millions of others.
