Don’t Abolish the Police. Reform Them.

[XenaLee]

Imagine the frustration of people who find it necessary to defend the President, while detesting him.

I don't call it necessarily defending the President (or the cops).  I call it defending and standing up for the truth.  A valuable, but rare, commodity these days.

There is no amount of reform that will make change for the better.  They want a one way convo with a list of demands. They don’t want to acknowledge that they have poisoned their own well. They have to acknowledge the high Black crime rate is at the root of all of this. They have to acknowledge that black media and social culture has glorified criminal behavior and disrespect for any authority.

@LilLamb

Yeah,and we all know that any black that does that will be demonized more than the KKK.

After all,it endangers all the "free money" and unqualified work positions they are given.

@catfish1957  WOW....you changed your avatar back.  Good for you!  I've always just looked at that flag as a southern pride thing.

Apparently "the truth" has different levels of proof required.

I hope every left wing lurker sees it and fumes. F them!!!!!    Here's the deal, and always has been my philosphy.  I abhor and detest the institution of slavery.  It was wrong on every level.  OTOH, there are many of us who had ancestors in that war, who did not own slaves.  It was a matter of defending your homeland against a foreign invader, and keeping that invader from destroying your livelihoods.    Many many of those fought with bravery and valor.  Many of us choose to honor that service.  They were honorable people, who are now feeling the wrath of cultural genocide. 

Those destroying these statues and monuments  are despicable pieces of shit.  I am telling them now.....   There will be a day when another people will do the same to their monuments. I may not be alive then, but hopefully will relish from beyond at the final irony.

And there it is. VERY well stated. As a self-described "History Freak",I am THIS close to wrapping myself in a Confederate Flag,strapping on some firepower, and looking for a MLK Jr statue to topple.

I have never been "into" the whole "Confederate Flag,the South is going to rise again!"  BullBush,but destroying historical monuments because YOU are too bleep stupid to come in out of the rain is a giant step too far.

You,or I,might not agree with history,but it is STILL history!

Did it ever occur to any of you Melanin Mental Midgets that white people don't still hate the Nazi's or the Japanese?

Ever wonder why we even moved on and accepted the nation of people we fought to become an independent nation,and have been their strongest allies,practically from the time the shooting stopped?

No,I know you haven't. You would rather be professional victims stewing in your self-made pot of "self-pity stew",rather than realizing the past is not only over,but because of the suffering of your ancestors you were lucky enough to be born in a free world of practically unlimited opportunities?

Stop your pity parties,get off your asses,get out of public housing,off public aid,and then work hard like everybody else to insure a future more stable and comfortable than that of the citizens of practically any other nation in the world,and THEN we will accept you are equals.

Right now,most of you are nothing more than unwanted pets.

Feel sorry for yourself all you want,all *I* feel for you is contempt.
