Should know H, I understand your point, and I have met many "other Americans". I have travelled extensively throughout the states, I've only missed a couple, and have been welcomed everywhere I went by warm hearted, kind and generous people.
My post was about the reaction in the community where I was, and I was trying to express what it felt like and what I could compare it to.
I should have left out any political comments.
I'm sure in other parts of the country the public celebration has been just that, Celebration, but here it was more of a call to arms. Unfortunately last night, in this area, the colour of your skin was the only criteria used to determine which side you belonged to, and it would have taken just one incident to spark it off into something nasty.
I've been there and seen it happen before.
Should know it's a beautiful day here in Miami and I must go and enjoy as much of it as I can before jumping on a plane tonight to head back into winter.
