“Yeah, whose version of history?”
Select version. Everyone seems to forget the treatment of the Irish, the Chinese, Japanese, Indians who were here first, the Amish, the Jewish....about everyone that couldn’t get power of some nature in our time to stand people off. What about religious actions, what about the economical actions? The list is endless.
So this problem with disrespect to blacks that are millionaires who can afford to do about anything are standing beside criminals, and they want respect? And they are either, through direct teaching or display, creating racists of our children.
Years ago the sports world stood behind Charles Barkley when he said he shouldn’t be a role model. He was right. He shouldn’t have been. Now the sports world wants to be role models? Day late, dollar short.
And they want to use their non-existent platform they have created recently to stand with and display their opinion of the injustices. Is there anyone in the country that doesn’t know about it by now? At least anyone intelligent enough to basic thought? And I have still not found one conversation with anyone of control to fix the problem. Violence doesn’t.
So if you are using your platform to change things, then do it. Talk’s cheap if it isn’t in a place to do anything but create worse problems and harm people of all colors. Makes you wonder with the way they are doing it if even black lives matter. Maybe it shouldn’t be that, maybe it should be no lives matter. That’s what you’ve got.
And the really funny thing to me is that humans are on top of the food chain because we have the ability to reason. When are they going to start or are they happy being less than human? I guess if you’ve got millions, you really don’t have to care. They wonder why they get no respect. What have they done to earn it except perpetuate this evil. They are the Peter Pans that never grew up and had plenty of questions...just no answers. And they want a platform?
