Companies are stepping up and doing self-reflection to see if their actions and their values match.

Communities are coming together to cleanup, support their local businesses and even create public art.

There seems to be a whole lot more "we are all in this together" thinking than there has been during this whole pandemic.

Obviously being on the brink of a new civil war is not good, but honestly I am seeing a lot more unity than I have seen in a my whole lifetime. Except here on P-O-C.
Totally agree.



And I thank GOD there's a huge disconnect between this forum and REAL LIFE.

The liberal Nazi Brown Shirt thugs have forced people to wash their feet and kiss their asses but the result will be greater racial division and white flight.

So happy the "younger people" are speaking up and taking part, I have personally seem my friends of all races speaking up, learning more, reaching out and taking action. And not just those in "liberal cities."

Will be happy to see racism weeded out and everyone working on improving the country - together.

You have no interest in "unity." You won't stop until everyone agrees with your warped worldview and you will employ whatever means necessary to get there. Just admit it already.

And yet Barr told the DCPD to act as his own personal goon squad to allow for that photo op. Your side has a lot of nerve throwing around the N-word.

I'm glad things are doing fine on Bizarro World, but here things are getting pretty crazy.

Actually here - people are going around doing their normal activities. Anyone I've talked to is sick of the Covid and of the protesting.

I have seen it as well.
There have been many protesters that stood in the way of looters and rioters.
Many in the community have already started to clean up and have plans for rebuilding.
This must **** off the extremists that want a dividing line.
