This is a different world; one which I often struggle to find my place in. Yet, it's a world whose arguments I often believe to comprehend, regardless which side of the argument is being weighed.
Is 60 years old "that old?" Maybe it is for many. I'm not offended. I'm thrilled to have reached this age.
And sure . . . go ahead. Say it! "OK boomer." Yes. I declare. I'm one of those.
Despite all you've read, heard, and recently experienced, there was a time in which truce and common ground were reached and found among ardent foes. Yes, we were able to "civilly" come together and "agree to disagree" in the most respectful way. Furthermore, we'd agree to meet another time for additional dialogue and conversation with the intention of finding a middle ground each side was capable of agreeing with.
I recall one time in which I had dinner with someone I staunchly disagreed with regarding Pro-Life/Pro-Choice issues. I was on the Pro-Life side. Still, we were able to sit, have dinner, share and dissect our points of view without resorting to threat, argument, intimidation, hatred, insults, etc.
In the case of the above example, the man I shared my Pro-Life position with was glad to hear my point of view, and I more than happy to hear his. BTW, the man on the other side of the table was a Pro-Choice Ordained Minister. Back in the 80's, I was nothing more than a "pew warmer with an opinion." Still, the Pro-Choice Ordained Minister was courteous enough to make time to listen to my POV and I to his.
Did we find common ground? I think we did.
I wish we could all share and discuss our differences today as it was once possible.
Wishing everyone much health and peace during these turbulent times.
I can honestly say no change.
However, any form of "outrage" I and probably many others had towards Floyd's killing is totally gone. It was ruined by the rioters and the lives they destroyed in the city of Chicago, my home, or anywhere for that matter.
But not only that. That white guilt going around is disgusting beyond words. My husbamd grow up dirt poor. He had nothing. Everything we have now we worked for, starting from negative 0.
Some white guy on TV they interviewed tryed to apologize on behalf of all white people how we are privileged and need to help all oppressed black people or people of color. Also, from reading threads here on cd, how white people are kneeling and asks for forgiveness....smh...
This country i moved to and became a citizen of is in trouble. Its truly a sad time we are living in.

As a person of color, I would have APOLOGIZED to him for having the same skin COLOR (even though not same race) as those BLM rioters and looters.

I would have became 1000 times more racist if I didn't realize ALL of this BS is from LEFTIST COMMUNIST SCUM and really has nothing to do with race. They just exploit and use race. I won't let these pieces of dog crap I stepped on ruin the rest of my week.
I'm starting to think stupid crazy people are more of a threat and not just a nuisance or to be pitied.
These protesters, the folks who were so easily duped by the Coronavirus Hoax, global warmers, the deep state, I just want to sign the commitment papers on the whole lot of them.
rac·ism | \ ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi- \
Definition of racism
1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2a: a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles
It becomes clear to anybody that can apply just a bit of clear logic that being a racist is actually quite stupid. One race as superior to another? Lol. That can be picked apart very quickly.
