Unfortunately, racism in America is STILL alive today, thanks to our 45th President, Donald Trump, who has too often "played the race card" by exacerbating racial tensions. Below, you will find both positive and negative examples of why, in terms of democracy, we need to denounce racism in all its forms, as it is counter to the the democratic norms that our Country has long represented.
And with Trump, his organization has worked since prior to the 2016 elections to overthrow our democratic institutions, through conspiring with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian hacking of our elections, which continues until today!
First, one of our greatest actors in a pivotal movie, that actually was made in my hometown!
Sidney Poitier

Honestly, I had thought that, with the election of Barack Obama, the United States had finally moved beyond large-scaled racism. Donald Trump has proven that to be wrong.
Below, we feature Carroll O'Connor in his ground-breaking Sitcom "All in the Family, in which he played the racist bigot "Archie Bunker".
Then, we follow with Connor's role as the Police Chief William Gillespie in the TV Series "In the Heat of the Night", and whose character is the polar opposite of Archie!
The purpose is to demonstrate how far backwards that Donald Trump has polarized racism in a America, some 50 years later after the movie "In the Heat of the Night" (above)!
(You will note that the "In the Heat of the Night" (1967) Movie featured above for Sidney Poitier was later translated into the long-running TV drama of the same name, starring Carroll O'Connor, also covered below!)

[Your Webhost: from my earliest memories, I have been a romantic, in particular enjoying the music of Johnny Mathis as a teen. I held off marriage under I felt I was mature enough to handle it, even telling Dad I hoped to marry when I turned 30 years of age.
I was fortunate to have met my wife Evelyn in 1972, and we spent the best years of our lives together. Ev was more than just a wife, she was also my best friend. From 1972 until her passing in 2008, we had a wonderful life together.
The best times were the 18 years that we lived in California, sailing the Channel Islands! See web page "About Us".
Early on, Ev and I decided not to have children, so that we could "spoil" each other. I came to understand the bias in the workplace against women. So, even though I am a man, I am thrilled to see women's empowerment finally come of age, given the times we are in today!]
