Wow, I had just thought about this with the current situation. When are people going to wake up to the sickness that cannot continue. It's got to be scary to be black. And no one should live in constant fear of the people who are supposed to protect you.I'm asking especially for those people who complained about the concept of Black Lives Matter. Why such a group needs to exist and don't all lives matter?
I'll leave the question high level so other can fill in the blanks.
I talked with a co-worker today who is from the Caribbean. We live and work in a more conservative part of the country.
Since we started working from home, he's been taking his kids jogging in the morning.
That is until his wife told him how she was out jogging and someone tried running her over.
Now he won't take his kids running anymore, and he's not sure how to explain to them that some people don't like them because of the color of their skin. He doesn't want to introduce that concept to them so that they, too, don't fall into the trap of judging people so superficially. He wants his kids to be able to evaluate people on their actions and character.
He also talked about his experience growing up, which would put us in the 80s timeframe. His mother told him to never run from cops - always do what they say, be 1000% polite, never fight back, and don't do anything that could even be perceived in the slightest as escalating the situation.
You missed the forest.Any group that attempts to (and successfully did multiple times) block interstate highway traffic isn't going to get very far with anyone in the sympathy department.

Yeah, Bog forbid you get inconvenienced for a few minutes in your daily routine, instead of, you know, shot to death in the back while fleeing by a cop fearing for their life, shot in the chest for eating ice cream in your own home, strangled for selling loose cigarettes... (I could continue all night.)Any group that attempts to (and successfully did multiple times) block interstate highway traffic isn't going to get very far with anyone in the sympathy department.

I'm thinking you could perhaps do with an empathy booster shot, maybe it's time to contact your Doc and set up an appointment.
Not only was Black Lives Matter right, but Republican "All Lives Matter" and "Blue Lies Matter" were a lie exposed by COVID.

The smoking of cannabis has absolutely no political attachments anymore that I can tell. Can't stand half the long haired dope smoking rednecks that are out there in droves anymore.I don't think there's any that would be potent enough.
I just noticed...is that guy wearing a robe with a pot leaf on it?
