Thank you @sugar plum.

You're right. 

Sometimes it just strikes a nerve and hard to not reply. I get mad at the "games people play," the ones that are critical and appearing oh so wise and are not.

Pontificating, self-aggrandizing, are words I keep thinking of with a lot of posts.

 

Oi!-then its time to step away.

@on the bay

I totally understand. I've done the same thing when someone says something that I find so aggravating.

We're only human. 🙂

I love Eric Clapton! I even have an Eric Clapton Stratocaster electric guitar. It's my best guitar! He's super talented.

Keep in mind that there are a lot of certain people who you might be very surprised to hear about that have made racist comments in the past....I cannot mention who they are due to community guidelines.


 

Yes, that's true. When I find out about it, I don't support them anymore. Nothing makes it ok.

That's so true.  We don't KNOW these people.  Clapton exposed to the world what type of person he truly is.  It surprised and disgusted some people.  When things like that happen, it turns me off.  Regardless of how talented, famous they are.  I can't support someone, even if it's just listening to their music if that person disgusts me.

And Billy Graham were 2 of them as they verbally beat up on the Jews while old Billy was talking with his "buddy" Richard Nixon in the Oval Officel. I've dested Billie and that nasty son Franklin ever since, They are/were misogyostic anti-semites.

I remember that. I've despised them since then too.

 

Bigotry and racism done in the name of religion are still bigotry and racism.
