IMO the real "CON" is all those supposed bleeding hearts that believe that there is a "plight of the black person." The plight is history and that cannot be erased no matter how many reminders are destroyed. The black person and the females in this country have the same Constitutional protections and rights as any other citizen. I am not going to apologize for what someone did in the past that has no bearing on how I treat people. America has learned from our forefathers' mistakes so that we do not make the same ones. Time for bleeding hearts to find something else to protest, demonstrate or to be activists for. What's a matter, tree hugging is going out of style?
My motto for this year is going to be "NEWS FLASH: I DON'T CARE." Come up with a legitimate problem and if I can help, I will. I am not going to carry anyone on my back just because someone in our past was a big meanie.

I do not believe we have a law enforcement problem. I believe in every profession we have some bad employees, but they are not the majority or the average. They are the exception. If you do not want to meet those bad actors in the police force, then don't commit unlawful acts and do not run or fight a COP when he approaches you. If a career criminal dies in an unfortunate act, I am sorry, but do the crime and do the time.

It is no longer the black man that has the "plight." I am not going to apologize for an element's failure in our society when EVERYONE has bent over backwards to make EVERYONE feel part of the American family. How much more free stuff and free hands to the top before some of us realize that some folks need to walk on their own instead of being carried?
I am not a racist. I believe in equal rights and treatment that is decent to ALL people. But, like I said I am not going to apologize to anyone for what someone else did many years ago. And I do not apologize for what the police did to Floyd. I didn't do it and I have no idea of the motivation or cause of the death. All I know is that because of it, at least one good man died (Capt Dorn) as a result. Whether Floyd is responsible or not, he was part of the cause. As much as the police that may or may not have handled the situation with bad intent.
Maybe if some folks would just treat minorities the same, not special, then folks would become color blind.
