Your post is a bit incoherent, but please, please, PLEASE don't tell us you are equating the actions a policeman and the ensuing unrest with Hitler and the Nazis

All four police officers have been charged. What's your excuse now?

I fear for the leadership of this country in the coming decades, because of that. Their only saving grace it seems, is that everyone will be mixed by then so how will there be a race war?
I have to agree with you. There is one particular network on TV that caters to young people where EVERY couple is either black and white, Asian and white or gay. Kind of hard for the younger generation to be bigoted when the norm is dictated by a liberal Hollywood media.
Our parents were of the Greatest Generation and succeeding generations have become weaker and weaker. Say what you will about the Greatest Generation being wrong in their racial bearing, they were still the GREATEST generation.
And before anyone suggests that my statement is bigoted, I come from a multi-ethnicity family. I have hopes for the next generation, but am also glad that I do not believe I will be around to see them go through their trials and obstacles to keep this country great. Thank goodness. I am sure that if my parents could see us now, they would also be shaking their heads.

Default Peaceful Protests for George Floyd

There have been enough protests around the country to prove that they don't end up peaceful. Who needs that here?? This is what I want to know: Where are the protests condemning those who kill police? Not to minimize what happened to George Floyd, because it was despicable, statistics show THAT number to be way in excess of police killing unarmed citizens. Why are liberals allowing their "peaceful" protests to be hijinxed by looters, arsonists and other criminals and then not speaking out against it all? Ask THOSE people "Who is George Floyd"? They won't be able to tell you. They just want an excuse for mayhem. And yet liberal communities who arrest those criminals are letting them back onto the streets due to incomprehensible, ridiculously weak policies. I pity the people in those communities who DO want law and order.

We don't need any more protests. We need to stop glorifying militant groups, thinking that they are the answer. Rather, education, training and weeding out the bad apples would be a good start.

I live in NYC during the blackout of 1977. When the looting started, the media made the excuse that people were "bored". Of course, the first report of looting was 17 seconds after the lights went out (short attention span). They weren't "protesting" anything, just looting and burning some stuff. At least they didn't have BLM to bus in additional looters. And it wasn't the residents of Scarsdale doing the looting. Just the facts, no implication being made.

Perhaps with all the shut downs due to COVID-19, these looters are "bored" as well

So your saying all old white folks are racist and bigots? That is pretty racist right there.

So do you think they will be convicted?

A police officer is 17 times more likely to be killed by a black man than a black man is by a police officer.
Yet the policemen and women are out there every day doing their jobs. I for one salute them.

If you studied German history, you would see and understand the similarity

So your “hope for this country” is the dying off all the “old white folks”? Please write that down so you can refer to it from time to time to see how that’s going.
