Tidbits About Racism

There are over 990,000 law enforcement officers, men and women, in the United States. These people, our neighbors, come in contact with around 325 million individual souls. Have you ever had contact with a law official? Did they take out their baton and thrash you? Did they shoot you?

I'd say the answer is no unless you brought it on yourself. I've stopped by the police a number of times. Only once did I feel it was unjust. The event took place as I was driving out of the small town of Pomeroy, Ohio. The officer, dressed in an official shirt and wearing jeans said I was speeding. The speed sign was hidden behind bushes. I was angry and let him know I didn't appreciate being nailed in a speed trap. Then, I went on my way.

I have never come across an officer who was less than courteous. It's probably because I'm White, right?

Like Kwanza which is phoney Christmas celebration started by a Black communist for Blacks Black Lives Matter is the same. It was begun by three radical communist women.

And we've become so afraid of this group police, church leaders, politicians and businesses are kowtowing to them. Police departments are taking a knee in support of this group. God strike me dead if I get down on one knee for a group of communists. There is only one person I will take a knee for and He's my Lord and Savior.

But there's another group of people that are doing more damage and that's the American media. They set the agenda. A good example is the DC Sniper story. In 2002 John Muhammad and Boyd Lee Malvo went on a three week killing spree around Washington D.C. They randomly killed ten people and wounded three others. Where was the outcry from the media? There wasn't one. The news was reported and that was it. I can just hear the conversation at the Washington Post: "Oh please don't let these killers be black."

George Floyd is not the issue. He will be forgotten in a week. What won't be forgotten are the demands of Black Lives Matter and Antifa.
