He said when you mentioned colors, he knew what they were. So he did have vision up until that age. He could see until that age. :) But overall you were correct with your statement sir. :)

Proud, I completely disagree with you. He completely desecrated our flag, our servicemen, women, and our country. The use of the platform he was given to perform this sacrilege should never be forgotten or forgiven. He absolutely disrespected every American, everyone who works to make this country better and protect our country from threats... foreign.. and domestic. He may have been trying to shine a spotlight on this "racism and social injustice", but he went about it all wrong. There is no way you should disrespect the entire nation because of the actions of law enforcement. And in reality, if African Americans are being mistreated by officers, they should stop trying to resist this "racism" and "profiling" when confronted by law enforcement. I strongly believe nowadays that they think they are invisible, and they are sorely mistaken, and they are dying because of this thought. These fights are not won on the streets, they are won in the courts. And when you resist on the street, you may not be alive to make it to court.

She (New York) has the "Lady" with the forever burning Torch in one hand and the book of Liberty in the other. New York always carries the weight of this Country and I believe she will get this Country through this craziness that it's people are suffering. May God have mercy on America. Thank you Lord for songs sung by Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles to remind us what kind of people the Americans are.

You would think as a black man I would be more inclined to dislike America but the fact is is that black people were enslaved in this country, treated as 2nd class citizens in this country yet we built it, fought in wars, and we are still standing right here in America so God bless the United States
