I’m not offended!

Daniel - Thank you so much for sharing this, and I would like to think that 85% of our American citizens (no matter their race - and there are more than two races in our country...) feel the same way, but are reluctant to express their views, fearing a backlash.

David & Gene - My father and mother gave me similar talks about giving law enforcement (and being a military brat, that meant military police also) nothing to detain me for. I also had the talk about where I should and should not venture because of danger, and it had little to do with race. I understood from an early age that there were bad folks in lots of places, so I avoided those places. I also dated a police officer for several years and heard both sides of the story.

David - It is not a matter of whether it is better to be black or white. It is a matter of being the best person you can be. If we each practiced that and also stopped being sheep that blindly follow the pack over the cliff, the whole world would be a better place. I posted the following several years ago, I believe, but one of my college professors (from the 1960s, no less) warned us to watch out for the press and do our own thinking. Between the malcontents, the press, and social media in the hands of "know-nothings," we have a lot to watch out for, imo.
