Having the majority of the country vote an African-American into the White House TWO times in a row sent the predominantly white racists and bigots scurrying(cue Donald Trump)to assure nothing like that could ever happen again. Self-entitled old white men will ultimately lose that war as they follow in the path of the dinosaur to extinction.

I saw another video today of someone stomping on the head of an Asian. It is truly disgusting! The type of thing that makes me think in some cases torture could be justified!

Good post! Don't let taking up for an officer or pointing out that the vast majority of people aren't racist (anymore) take away from the new understanding people have..

I think we all see it from a different perspective that we never had before....

Change is just beginning and one hopes it can get back to good conversations as were had before Defund The Police interrupted... Everyone wants the same thing except the very few extremes that sometimes get more attention than the majority...

I don't care about CRT, but God knows we are NOT a post-racist society. Sure, I'm not racist, and racism doesn't affect me, but that's because I'm white.

I'd thought we'd made progress. In some ways we have, but one thing the last five or six years have made blindingly clear to me is that growing up black in this country is NOT like growing up white. It is very different, and not in a good way.


No one is accusing you of being a racist. But similar to humanities taught in colleges should we not discuss CRT as well?
