UKRAINE 101...... To fully understand the crisis in Ukraine you need to understand the History of the country. Modern Ukraine was a member of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from 1569 to 1772 when it became annexed by Russia as a protectorate. Russia controlled Ukraine until 2014 when it became 'independent' due to US and European support. Today Russian in one of the official languages of the Ukraine spoken by 29% of the population. In short; Ukraine has been a part of Russia for over 250 years. Today a third of the population are Russian and speak the Russian language. In 2014 Ukraine was allowed to become a separate country.

NOT SO SUPER............. Like many other Americans, I watched the recent Half Time Show. I have never been a fan of Rap or Hip Hop Music. It has always made me feel uncomfortable, like driving by a Strip Club, just dirty some how. About 10 years ago I began to think that this "music" was in fact detrimental to Black Americans. When I tried to discuss my opinion, people said, "you're just old" Or, "you are a racist." Maybe both are true, I don't know. So following the game, I posted comments on social media about how degrading this music is to the ongoing effort of Black Americans. Again the tidal wave of "old Racist" comments flooded in.
