@annweiss Maybe we need to have spell check on here...🤔

Ocean? Not sure what you are describing.

@ReadtoAchieve2 'I am aware that you must know the meaning of hoodlum from the dictionary or from hearing its use. But, have you lived in a ghetto, rat and roach infested hood? That's the origin of hoodlum from the word hood that so many minorities get caught up in and fight against.' Perhaps because you have not walked enough in shoes that are defeated, worn, and tired of what life has offered from birth to adulthood. -- Being poor, poorly educated, oppressed, or beaten down knows no color, race/ethnicity, or religious background. I have worked hard, taking chances, educating myself (I have but a high school education and a poor one at that) to get where I am today. No one ever said; Hey you, white guy, want this high-paying job? I am disappointed that you went this direction with your statements. They weaken your position and cannot do anything to help you to sell your books.

I'm sorry that you are disappointed with my opinionated words. Please know that my aim is not to sell my book on this forum. You have no idea what is in my book or how well it will do on the world stage. My experiences and opinions are mine, hard earned I might add. Sir, with all due respect, I do not need validation from you. Lastly, I applaud your efforts to overcome obstacles. You could be a character in "Cracked Glass." Now, I'm done with this. I'm also an artist. If my books don't succeed, perhaps my art will. 😃😃😃

@ReadtoAchieve2 The use of the word Hoodlum in America comes from mid-19th century, describing white gangs (mostly Irish) that prayed on Chinese immigrants. It came to be generalized to mean up to no good, petty criminals. Word origination: One theory is that the word derives from hudelum, an adjective that means "disorderly" in dialects of German spoken in and around the region of Swabia. Or, possibly originating from Patrick Hooligan, an Irish youth who wreaked havoc in the streets of England.

@Kendria98
Are you making the mistake of assuming what someone means when they say a word, or phrase, which has no color related to it?
You know what they say about when a person ASSuMEs, don't you? Let's not go there. You, my friend, are part of the problem.

Great job Nodi and all involved officers. 👍

There is a great quote I just came across that I think totally applies to this post...."EYES ARE USELESS IF THE MIND IS BLIND". Love this. This post was about a dog and our Police Officers that did a great job. Nodi is not Racist...he is going to chase your *** no matter what color you are. We are in a new time and age from that so long ago...we should be fighting to make America beautiful and free from such Racist thoughts.
