If I were black and the crap hits the fan, I would pack my bags and try to fly to Jamaica or some other country until things settle down.

I am not black and I am looking for a place to settle in that can be defended until stuff settles. I really don't like the unfortunate direction all this unnecessary racial stuff is going.

I am also a realist and see who is mostly to blame, what they are doing, and why. Their pawns might just be pawns, but when they are used to take out innocent people, those pawns need to be dropped. Hopefully, the larger chess pieces will also get knocked off the board if the game continues the way it is being played.

My spouse and I have been feeling pretty much the same way—sickened at the double standard of reporting and horrified as our society spins out of control into what seems increasingly like a third-world country.

We went on a dinner cruise a few weeks back, and sitting across from us at a group table was a wonderful young Black man named Stanley. He was raising two boys on his own, working as a government contractor at a nearby military base, and going to school at night to become a radiology tech, looking for better job security. As we heard him describe the struggle to raise two young sons in a gang-dominated community we were touched by his struggle and ashamed of our own increasing bigotry. We need to work hard not to give into our worst impulses, and to pray for justice and tolerance for everyone.

The strategic vision of the instigators is based on the faulty premise of holding the cities when the SHTF. This is not 1917 Russia, there will be no starvation in the countryside; it will only occur in the urban wastelands occupied by the pawns. imo, anyway.

I'm as cynical as they come, but I never thought I'd see any such happening here, yet it seems to be happening, forming right in front of us.
