Thank you for retaining a calm clear head. You give me hope.
Well I try to look at it with whatever clarity I can muster. I do understand that there is absolutely a racial problem in the USA. I absolutely understand that prisons are just jam packed with black people who, if they had been white, likely would have been sent along with a slap on the wrist. I think the prison system is a joke in the sense that it's not really designed to help or rehab people it's just there to make money.
I feel bad for those who feel they can't go about their every day lives without a police interaction that goes wrong or facing racial discrimination and realize that is an issue.
In Canada right now they're demanding that the police don't have floats in the gay pride parade. There are plenty of gay police officers and there are plenty of black police officers but the BLM movement up here doesn't want ANY police involvement. This is where it starts to get pretty murky for me. You can't isolate specific groups based on their profession, their sexuality, their race, etc because there are many people who may be several of those things all at once. Where are they supposed to fit in and feel included and safe when there are groups who want to unilaterally remove another group from the equation entirely?
I feel like there has to be some middle ground here but I don't think we'll find it until everyone is finished arguing over who has it the worst and why.
