Let's Be Honest About Race & Violence

I'll hire this guy.
On the news this morning a guy from Black Lives Matter was talking about a protest scheduled for the Minnesota State Fair. The MN Fair administrator said they don't allow such things but the BLM guy said they couldn't stop it. Later on the radio, an African-American journalist was talking about racism and police and such things. Even one of my old friends who typically can think for himself is under the impression that African-Americans are shot down in great numbers BY POLICE here in the USA. Meanwhile, a little girl in Ferguson was shot dead while doing homework on her mom's bed. No one is protesting this because it wasn't a white cop who did the shooting. In fact, when a black person is killed in Ferguson, it is nearly always another black person who did the killing. Yet none of these stories cause protests and few make the national news.
Not hiring this guy.

It seems that the agenda is more geared toward removing the responsibilities from the people who get caught by police and resist arrest, and placing them elsewhere—like on the police who are now looking for the person who murdered a young child. What kind of hypocrisy and lack of ownership of the real issues should we be tolerant of? Are we supposed to allow criminals free rein of society because they possess a skin color that creates a separate standard for them? What about the young African-American girl who is now dead? She's had no one protest her murder. Why does her life matter less than a black man with a criminal record who is stopped by police? What kind of idiots believe in this crap anyway? Get the criminals off the street. Whatever color they are, they need to be captured and removed from society before more kids get killed. If they resist arrest, they risk dying.

It is not really about race. If I see a normal looking African-American man, I will feel more comfortable around him than I would with a white guy who is dressed like a "gangsta'." End of story! It's really that simple! I would hire the same black guy over the fore mentioned white guy as well—any day of the week. I know what this is about. I saw it first-hand when I worked for the county. This is not about truth. This is not about reality. This is not even about a murdered innocent girl. This country is being influenced by hypocrites with an agenda. The sooner we stop pretending that everything is always about race, the sooner we can clean up the mess and find the people who killed this child! It makes me sick! This was a child! She was not shot by police. And apparently, she was not worth a protest. I am sad that another child was murdered in this screwed up society and nobody will do anything about it...
