They weren’t provided opportunities ? A world where everything has to be given to them.

Actually they didn’t prepare themselves for the opportunities that have been available all along.

We did our part in providing the one thing they needed “A free education” can’t help they preferred to spend their time shoplifting at a wallymart.

This is an authoritative reality-based consensus. (No agenda needed).

I know. I couldn’t agree more with your comment my friend. I’ve done the, “WHITE-FLIGHT”, In my life, Several different times. One time, I was living in Mesa Arizona with a very very good girlfriend of mine. It was her condo and I was paying half the bills with her. She had been living there for a number of years in the condo.

But she was actually born and raised in Arizona. Up in a little town called Wickenburg. I see a little 35 years ago, it was little. I know that it’s grown since then because I’ve looked it up and we’ve stayed in touch off and on. But where is she lived? Was it a lot of Black people.

But it was far far too many 2nd generation Mexicans for me. Now I will admit this, I can easily take living around them 100 fold more than I can black people. I simply detest living around Black people. And I really don’t feel comfortable and I don’t feel whole unless I’m living around and mingling with white people on a daily basis.

The area she lived in was considered a very good area. Up-and-coming. She was a sales manager for what she called CHEVY Chase. Chase Manhattan bank. The big one downtown that was considered one of Chases main banks for the entire Southwest. She told me.

I went in it I think 2 or 3 times she gave me a tour & security was extremely tight. I never felt any danger around the Mexicans because like I said it was a good area and everybody had jobs and they were good people and they damn sure raise their kids very good. I just hunger to be around a lot more white people.

So what did I do? It was either go back to Pensacola Florida, or go back to Montana or Wyoming, and since I hadn’t worked in the oil field, you know in safety, For about 6 months and financially, I didn’t have to really work for a couple more years if I didn’t want to.

But I decided it was time for me to get back in the field so I called my agent out of Louisiana, https://www.crescentsafetyservices.com/ (check them out if you feel like it.) for a number of years I was attached to them and two more safety companies that provide personnel for various positions in the oil field. Upstream & Mid-Stream…

And within a week I was gone. Had my Jeep J-20 loaded up in about an hour and a half and hit the interstate for Cheyenne. It was a sizable turnaround going on at the Holly frontier refinery for three months to pay in per diem was excellent and I was happy to be back at my home away from home.

Candlewood Suites, SUITE 302 again. The reason I like it is, it’s on the third floor away from the elevators and all the noise. I’m sure you know that the closer you get to the first floor or if you’re on the first floor, it can get to be really noisy with people coming and going day and night in the hotel. Furthermore, screaming kids.
