Good video this week Josh and Meanie I really enjoy them ! I thoght the editorial on “White Flight” was excellent. Their was a lot left out but it was good. The color of your skin means nothing ! Their are a lot of great and nice people of color in and around Lansing white or black ! I ccould go on and on but won’t. Are times changing , yes they are but you need not try to change history . History is history. Richie Rebel was not racist nothing to do with T.F. South including the flag but like I said times are a changing ! Slaves and all that were part of history. If it was not history we would still have slavery ! Not that it is or was right but seems to forget their were a lot of white slaves > Tough topic and can be arguemntaive but I do not want to get into that ! But learn to live with change and make the est out of it. Great job Lansing Journal continue to keep up the good work !
