Things were different back then, now it is melatonin based.
My son and I volunteer three days a week at a place that assists adults with disabilities. They do not have clients at this time because of the China Virus.
The person who asked us to volunteer is retiring at the end of next week and the new manager is worried that her 11-year-old son will fall victim to racism. She will not talk to me or my son. I fear because of our skin color. We are different from her color.
My wife and I had been friends with a person whose father marched with MLK and opened his own church in Atlanta to spread the good word of the Lord. My wife and our family were there for them for the passing of the wife of the Pastor and his passing. I even built him a laptop to help him in his dying days. We were there for them.
The husband is a distant relative to Clarence Thomas. They named one of their sons after me.
However, since my wife passed away and their perceptions of racism, we do not communicate anymore. I will occasionally speak with the daughter who we helped out during a difficult time.
Heck, we even bought them Christmas presents for years just so that their kids would enjoy the celebration of the birth of Jesus. They are supposedly ministers in the Baptist church, but never once reached out while my wife was dying of cancer.
All because of our skin color. REALLY!
That is sad to hear. Whatever their reason for being self-centered and insensitive, they were not true friends, sorry to say.
Sometimes a tragedy shows us who our true friends are.
As for the video, I just can't seem to dredge up sympathy for someone crying over an Egg McMuffin.
She shouldn't have filmed herself. That video will be used against her and other LEOs.
Maybe she had to wait long because she's a cop, or maybe she had to wait long for some other reason.
When I have to wait for an order and/or the order is wrong, or if someone gives me an attitude, I just get angry.
Of course, you never want to anger the cook and then risk eating that food, so I just say, "Look, I've been waiting too long. I need my money back."
However, she and all LEOs are under a great deal of pressure right now. Quite frankly, I don't know why they all continue to report to work every day.
