Exclamation

In the last 3 1/2 year I have seen or heard the word "RACIST" being used more than the other years of my entire life....
The word is being over use and it is losing its meaning!

I see what you are implying there.
It sure is used here more, and by a very few I might add, surely not the majority. Some even label others racist's in non- coherent rants when you disagree with their way of thinking. Hell some even believe , in their immature minds, that "everyone" that has picked the opposite fork in the road wears a KKK robe and carries a torch in one hand and a noose in the other. These are people that you cannot have an honest and viable, or intelligent for that matter, conversation with, these are the angry ones, these are the self righteous, self appointed "saviors". Pitiful really, pitiful.
Colorful words from a keyboard it seems are the only weapons against hate, racism and bigotry, while they sit on their hands decrying that "no one is doing enough". Please, get away from that keyboard, walk a actual mile in others shoes, and tell them they are not doing enough. Generalizations
I know many people and have plenty of friends that walk the same roads, but take different paths. Sometimes we come to a fork and take the path we think is the right one, that's always a good thing. Big difference is, with an open mind while traveling those paths they have plenty of time to think, to take in the "scenery", and they eventually meet down the road, and walk the same road, friends again, and talk about what they have seen on their paths, it's rational and never self absorbing.
It's very different here for some.

On the other hand...neither did this.



The Villages Florida


And the fact that it's been days now with no charges being filed, just adds to the general rage...of the difference in privilege.

Much like the Colonialists...against Britain.



.
All of us who are privileged to be white and in the villages for the most part financially secure, wonder why the black community doesn’t protest peacefully. I would submit that is exactly what Kaepernick was doing and yet you post a picture as if his protest was the same thing as those burning and looting. Darian is the real problem in this country.

If it was a personal grudge that may up the murder charge to a higher category, just saying...

That cop had a terrible record. The club owner also said she thought he used excessive force at times when he worked security at her club.

No argument here. Personal grudge and not racism, could be an interesting case.

IF, and I mean IF both were true (grudge and death from intoxicants), which is usually a big IF, then which of the a$$h0!3 rioters and looters would be the first to apologize????

Robbery is no excuse. Destroying property??? Ignorant actions. We look like a 3rd world country.
