I understand the frustration the Black community is making for their plight....but I don't understand their method of expression. Too many want this and want that, but are not trying to correct the problem. It is evident that one of the roots of the problem is the 'fatherless family' setting, not slave owners from 200 years ago. The US politicians have been throwing law after law and entitlement after entitlement at the problem but little has changed, in fact much has become worse since many of the entitlements become a 'free' crutch for their existance. If racism is so rampant in the US, why have so many Black citizens become so well entrenched and successful in our society....even those from very poor back grounds? The riots and looting and burning just undermines any thing that is being said. Singling out the 'bad cops' as the reason for their actions is no more authentic than singling out the bad criminal members of the Black community as the norm. When both sides have open discussion and stop calling each other names, progress can over come. |

I thank the media for constantly uncovering so much corruption. I have not seen one word on the cable stations I watch stating there are fewer flags being waved. Manipulation.

Unfortunately, some prominent media (yes, CNN for sure) create the news rather than report the news. They are horrible.

I'm not convinced those protesting and frankly, the younger generations have a clue what the 4th represents. I believe those of color finally are starting to be heard but not sure what they believe they would have (or any of us actually) if July 4th 1776 had not happened.

I cannot believe that people equate flying a flag with patriotism. I always thought patriotism was more about being a good, informed citizen, voting in every election.

Flying the flag doesn't make you patriotic anymore than wearing a cross makes you a Christian.

That is because they are too busy shooting each other in cities like Chicago. Also COVID 19 has drastically limited celebrations. Hundreds of flags in my neighborhood.

I have gone thru a couple of USA flags - the weather does that to them. So, I am headed to purchase another one and will get the last two properly retired. As to the 4th of July celebration. It is also called Independence Day - the day we became our own country and no longer an English Colony. I think that is worth celebrating no matter the color of your skin or religious preference. Thank you
