“…This is why most motorcyclist regardless of brand, gender, race etc will give the nod or the down low wave when riding…”
I believe a, ‘group’, of people, that have just one thing in common.
Acknowledge, the other, for that one thing.
(Driving a MC, Jeep, Vet, etc, etc, etc)
And the fact that,’something’, in common, is a ’need’, in many people.
Thus the, ’need’, to, ’Tear Down Statues’, when their is nothing else to do.
The biggest example of this is.
Grew up, in a small town, (didn’t know/understand it then,
just accepted, that’s how all people interacted,
thought it was the, Norm’.)
The majority of people their, knew the other people, and in a way, ‘watched out’ for each other.
Years ago, I lived in a apartment in the Cities.
If something would have happened, no one would care.
If I was dead, no one would check, until the smell got to bad.
Moved back to a small town.
It was back to, ‘community', It felt, normal.
Years later, getting Mail, going to the Bank, having Coffee in the Cafe.
Took Much longer, than ‘just’ the reason, because you talked to those you encountered.
(Even in the 80’s, had a shop in a small town, P.O. was 2 blocks away, and most days I walked.
It took, at Least 1/2 Hour, many times more.
Today, I live 3 miles from their. I drive, and it takes, Most of the time, 15 Minuets !)
Now, ‘Communities’, are NOT, just Country/Small towns.
They was a place, it was a very tight nit, large, ‘community’, in the City.
(In the MIDDLE of the City)
Yet a, new road, (I-94), was to go through.
That, and others, were completely DESTROYED,
3-4, blocks, wide, and 20 Miles Long.
Those people were dispersed, and never were a ‘community’ again.
Today, people are, born, live a young life, (0 - 16 years old or so),
And, NEVER KNOW, their Neighbor, or the person down the block,
or the Janitor/Baker/Candle Stick maker, in the area they live.
(More in a big City, yet also happening in small towns)
That is what they know as, ’normal’.
That type of, ‘divide’, has been around for 250+ Years in this Nation.
Look at the very old reference to: (City Slicker/Country Mouse)
It has slowly been getting, ‘wider’, and in the last year it seems,
it has, ‘gotten wider’, at a phenomenal rate.
Change that. Get the people, ’together’.
Help them realize, that Just because, they are a,
‘City Slicker or a Country Mouse’
(Or Dem/Rep/Ind/etc)
They ALL, have at least One thing in common.
They all, eat/sleep, and are Homo Sapiens.
And, bet ya, their will be a LOT MORE things.
However, their is, ’someone’, a ‘group’, a ‘entity’,
that does, NOT, want that to happen.
What ya gonna do about it ?
