[Rockhounds] They are coming for you now

[Dora Smith]

How did this start?  I just realized I was initially led to read a post 
by the thread "they are coming for you now"  Is this fear the Black 
people and whoever else is taking over?

I really hate to spring this on some here - but they already did.  White 
people are a close to a minority in this country. Adjust.   Some seem to 
have reacted more like two year olds kept from eating the candy.

I, too, am terrified of people who think "they're coming for you now".   
It doesn't take being Black to be terrified of bigots committing terror.

Yours,

Dora Smith
