Howard Park
Every year, either on Memorial Day or Independence Day I walk the nature trail at a nearby park. It's not a very big park Just a few acres, but it has a baseball diamond, two playgrounds and a bunch of picnic shelters complete with charcoal grills. For those who like to just hang our by the water, it is located on the Gulf of Mexico. Over the course of the day, you'll be treated to fish jumping out of the water, various types of cranes, turtles and crabs. It is America in a teacup. There are Hispanic families, Asian, African Americans, as well as a pretty good representation of the melting pot.Music is blaring from several different boom boxes as the aroma of grilling hamburger and more exotic ethnic foods fills the air. For the last 25 years, I have enjoyed this tradition. There's no anger, no signs, just people enjoying a holiday. I am now limited to how far I can walk, so I'll park over by one of the playgrounds and watch the little kids go down the slides, and up and down on the see-saw. The park is what humanity should be to me. I wonder how long it will remain.

This is the way people should interact . We all have the same basic needs and desires. But the diversity of humanity is to all of our benefit. With out Italians no Spaghetti with out Mexicans no burritos no Asians no pod Thai, no Blacks no soul food, the Irish, well we are still working on a recipe but don't give up on us it might be tasty.
All kidding aside people are not robots and the differences make us all better. I can't help but think that the politicians have created racial tensions for their own purposes. Divide and conquer and out of chaos comes control.
The "bigot racist Trump" as the left likes to say comes to mind. When speaking to leftist socialists
about the administration I will say that Trump is only spending half his time devoted to racist actions. The other half the time he is booking foreigners to his hotels.
