I understand that the kneeling is a way to protest police brutality and racial inequality in the United States. However, to others, the flag and the anthem represents the greatest nation in the world. Soldiers gave their lives to make this nation a better place, a free nation. Kneeling is disrespectful.
Two wrongs don't make a right. I am white and may never truly understand what my black brethren go through. I'm sorry for that, sorry that you have had to endure unspeakable prejudice when all people were and should be created equal.
However, prejudice works both ways. Why are there Miss USA contest where any and all can compete, and also a Miss Black America, where only African American women can compete. There are only African American schools, but all other colleges and schools are open to all. I could go on for days about how much inequality goes from the African American side, but what's the point.
Can't we all just get along. There are good people and total a-holes out there. Period. It has nothing to do with race or nationality or sexuality preference, rich or poor......
Floyd's death is horrible and the police responsible for it need to be held responsible. Protests are fine and bring people together for the right reasons. The ones that are looting and rioting are hoods. PERIOD. How does robbing and burning a business down that has absolutely nothing to do with the death of Floyd bring attention to the Floyd. It doesn't. It brings attention to the thugs they are.
In Marksville, LA in 2015, two black officers shot and killed a 6 year old white boy while shooting into a parked car where his father was wounded. One of the officers received a 40 year sentence. Not sure what became of the other officer, but there was no looting or rioting. The officers responsible was held accountable for this horrible incident.
Why is there a double standard in this world? Why can't we all just get along.
