I was going to let this lie, but on the other hand, I think now is a time that all of us need to stand up and speak out for freedom & truth, and against the evil forces trying to destroy this country from within through the anti-free speech cancel culture, etc.
We get it Newtosavage, anyone who disagrees with you or the ongoing facts that they see daily with their own eyes can't have a brain, is a racist, a conspiracy theorist, or anti-vaccine, etc. That is always a much easier avenue to take than actually defending a position with no facts. I personally do appreciate your attempt to rain in your progressive talking points sometimes it seems, but that is just not enough to maintain intellectual honesty.
You may make some good points in the future, and I am afraid that I might miss them because it is hard for me to take someone seriously, who for instance with respect to racism discounts the anecdotes and statistical assessments of others, while trys to defend his own assertion of systemic racism (which he can't define), by ignoring statistics and then giving his own "personal" anecdote as evidence. How stupid do you think we all are?
Currently there are groups actively using violence to get cities to defund the police, and city leaders are and already have capitulated to them (sometimes with approval tacitly or overtly by governors). If you haven't seen this over the past few weeks, well then now you know. Please let Gov Insley and former President Obama know this as well, so they don't have to learn this through the media a month from now.
Currently, there are many black Americans who think for themselves (which used to be not only legal but celebrated in America) that are getting attacked by radical white and black progressives who not only feel like they know what is best for them, but also feel it is their duty to act for them, and even harass and cancel them if they don't go along.
I had a black client this week originally from a mixed family (and who is working and supporting his own family now) tell me that he had to send out a video to family and friends telling many of them to knock their crap off and quit trying to make him some kind of helpless victim. The final straw was after his woke millenial white niece at a liberal college in the area made a patronizing post to his social media about the systemic racism he must be feeling and special help that he must need being black.
There are good teachers, but what evidence is there that our public education system is not completely inadequate? Look at the statistics yourself or remain willfully ignorant like the great number of millenials who are ignorant about the US Constitution and history, who tear down statues, and who support the currently active marxist and anarchist groups using whatever they can as a diversion (the police, race, etc.) to create chaos and tear down America.
Just listen to their own words and watch their actions, but don't try to then digest it (distort, rationalize, etc.) for us like CNN or the Washington Post.
We have too many Americans that are part of the problem currently in condoning hypocrisy and bad behavior.
