After several days of listening to talking heads, and watching events unfold, I have a few things I would like to say.
First, if African-Americans do not wish to be judged by the color of their skin, DO NOT JUDGE ME BY THE COLOR OF MINE!!!!!
I had NOTHING to do with Mr. Floyd's death, yet self-righteous social justice warriors hell-bent on proving they are "enlightened" have engaged in non-stop PANDERING to black activists. "Oh, I am so sorry. We are all fucked up. We need to figure out why we are all fucked up, and figure out how to stop being all fucked up."
AGAIN: I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!!
I, like TENS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS OF ALL RACES, COLORS, AND CREEDS, WERE APPALLED AT WHAT HAPPENED IN MINNEAPOLIS!!! To attribute the actions of this asshole to an entire RACE smacks of...well...umm...RACISM!!!
I do NOT need people apologizing for me! If I need to apologize for something, I will do so, WITHOUT the likes of MSNBC "speaking" for me!!!
Now, then. I have always fought against racism, which FAR TOO OFTEN involves fighting fellow "conservatives" who think it is apropos to call African-Americans "nigger", "monkey", "ape", "animal", and the like. I have absolutely no idea when that became fashionable, but it is WRONG, and I have a FIFTY-EIGHT-YEAR-LONG-RECORD of fighting this stupidity, so ENOUGH with lumping me in with everyone in the world who shares my skin pigmentation!!!
I am happy to hear that Derek Chauvin is in custody. His compatriots will be joining him soon. I LOVE this prosecutor who came out with a very short and sweet announcement. This guy means business! Everyone really needs to calm down and go to the beach for the weekend or something because that mic drop moment was priceless. When was the last time you have ever heard a public official deliver a one-liner and then open it up to questions? NEVER!
Finally, something else is going on here, which I hope the DOJ is focusing on. These two men worked at the same club for five years. They have a background. We have video showing Mr. Floyd being escorted WITHOUT INCIDENT to a patrol car. We then have video showing him flat on his face. HOW DID HE GET THERE? I am hoping and praying someone has video that fills in those few seconds because whatever happened has something to do with Mr. Chauvin. I can smell it. We need to know what happened with them while they were working at the club, and we need to know what happened when Chauvin hit the scene on Monday.
Can we all just take a deep breath and wait for this to play out? We will get all of this filled in, and we do not need to keep sniping at each other for this to happen.
