When I talked to a friend yesterday, who’s skin color is darker than mine but chooses not to be called either a black man, or African American. He chooses to be called Keith as that is his name. We talked in depth of each of our views on this situation right now. Although I do not agree with how the protesters are going about, I stand behind their freedom to do so in a peaceful manner. Neither one of us believes that all protesters are the looters, or the ones injuring people and police. However, remaining at an event when the shot goes south, now can be implicated as a “enemy combatant “ “excuse my phrasing as that’s just how I’ve been trained to see it”. As such more desperate measures are needed to control the situation In the end, when the smoke clears, a lot of innocent people will be hurt, and the message of despair and anger and much needed excepting will not of been heard. It will not be the loudest voice at the podium. It will only amplify the sorrow and pain, yet now for other family’s. The world we live in needs to stop measuring a man by his color, but see him through his actions. Poverty affects every race, some possibly more than other but every one. You have a choice. Pull up your boot straps, fight the hard fight, make a difference in your life, or accept that you will never get out of the situation you are in now. Only you can choose. Use your voice. Use your mind. BE THE DIFFERENCE YOU WANT TO SEE
Off rant. I’m outta this fight. Just here wanting to go fishing. The fish don’t give a darn where ya came from.

Cool. Fact check it.
I find it sad to see people of all races losing everything they owned due to the riots and looting....many of these businesses were in rough shape due to the pandemic and the damage done by these "protests" have put them over the edge....
Nobody will give them a minute of thought...
….and everything I have been reading lately has George Floyd looking like a meek, mellow choir boy who always gave to the community. I can see why it is important to go with this swing on his character but it's not a realistic view.
That all being said, he should still be here alive-maybe in jail or have a court date but alive....
Finally, all these celebrities jumping on the Floyd band wagon need to get off it and go back to whatever it is which entertains them. This sort of thing happening is not new and never done before and where were they then?

Somebody tell her to run for president!! Shed have my vote
It might sound a bit crazy but I posted the above post before watching her video, she and I are thinking alike.
A very well spoken young lady...her future will be a bright one.
I'm not read in enough to know the statistics but for the most part she seems to be on cue.

the police need to call off work just one day in the city's that are protesting and will see how that goes, then the mayor and aldermen also known as the leaders of the city can step up and go out in the streets themselves and keep peace . the cops have a very tuff and dangerous jobs when there is mob action going on in the streets . the city leaders should stand behind the police and stop selling them out for news coverage.

Take A Knee Or Hide In The Locker Room? | Random Thoughts
Okay so I have to ask what you guys think about a few of the weekends NFL Teams decisions to camp out in the locker room or in the tunnel during the National Anthem? As this group is usually very articulate and able to get thoughts across like grown adults this should be a good conversation...
