Hannah Davis18 said:So, was the whole group just being clueless, or did they simply not catch what he was saying?
Hannah Davis18 said:how do you think it happened? I guess it just happened ☕
Hannah Davis18 said:It’s hard to believe I’ve forgotten who I am—and honestly, I don't want my child to be stuck carrying the weight of our struggles here; that's just too much to ask from the generations coming after us.
nimblewalker58 said:History matters—it’s what gives you a sense of belonging to a people, a nation.
The ones who don't care about that? They're just globalists and lost souls drifting through this consumerist, capitalist void.
I wish we could go back to quoting those letters where people talk about how they're forgetting who they actually are...

we can play the martyr role like some group on a trek through the North America if we want; but most of us don't actually dwell on it.
you have your own life; pay your taxes, enjoy yourself, and stop nagging the kids while they're watching the game.
history isn't something etched into you from birth—but hey, I guess that sounds good, right?

maybe we can spend a little more time acting like a group on some epic pilgrimage through the South; though most of us don't even bother remembering.
you’ve got your own life to live; pay your taxes, enjoy yourself, and stop nagging the kids while they're watching the game.
history isn't something you're born with—but hey, I guess that sounds deep.

I haven't sat by my best friend's side while they passed away, but just knowing that your husband and so many others were involved... it hurts. It’s what triggered that reaction a few pages back. I don't know—it's my people, it's in my blood, and their suffering feels like mine. Why is that so hard for some to wrap their heads around? Does it really matter if I'm seventeen? I'm not seventeen; I feel like I'm a thousand years old. This history was etched into me from day one, and I can't—and won't—just let it go. I won't.
Sorry if this came off a little heavy-handed.

that’s how they moved prominent families out just in time.

First off, because that kid probably had to grow up way too fast under some pretty intense circumstances, and second, I trust my daughter's judgment when she says someone is a good person. That’s enough for me. I don't care about what his ancestors did, as long as his own hands and heart are clean.

honestly, nobody—and I mean nobody—has ever come close
The Avalanches and Go! Team were in the running, but they got old fast
whereas "Entroducing..." still sounds incredible today
drunkard said:Yeah, Thievery sounds more like my kind of chill vibe—maybe for a lounge club like a place in Miami or something—but regardless, they definitely got ripped off for that mattress commercial or whatever... Anyway, Hooverphonic are great. What’s their live show like? Is it an EDM set or what?
nimblenomad41 said:- Hooverphonic - absolutely killer. Why the hell did I wait this long to actually listen to them? They're mostly known for that first album, "A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular"—lots of hits there—plus they do a ton of film scoring and stuff like that. Their latest, "No More Sweet Music," is solid too. Haven't dug into the rest yet.
