I get the feeling my post will fall upon the deaf ears to those unwilling to declare how they truly feel about the large Non-Anglo segment of the United States of America . . .

And if you dare not, that's OK. Silence often tends to speak louder than words
Strange that you word it so. Do you not think that non-Anglos can be racist?

I love being white. I will never apologize for it or never wash the feet of others for it. There is nothing to apologize for. The looters on the other hand, need to apologize for destroying all those businesses and making a new career out of looting!

And when Democrats say "stupid white people" it sounds like they are "race baiting."

I voted "more racist", but I wish I had not because that isn't true. I extremely dislike liberals and Black Lives Matter. I respect and admire black conservatives.

Two days ago I had to have some bloodwork done. The phlebotomist and I chatted about the weather, wearing masks, etc. When I got back to the car, turned the radio on and listened to news about BLM, protests, etc. it dawned on me that the phlebotomist was black. What I am trying to say is that most people don’t judge a person by their skin color but do judge them on their behavior.

I have a hard time watching the riots and looting, but from what I have seen, there are many white protesters, but most of the rioters are black.

It infuriates me the way police are being treated by liberals.

I have used my own T shirt to stop a white man who slit his wrists from bleeding to death
and used my bare hands to keep a black mans's brains from spilling onto the street as
a result of a severe motorcycle accident. I have assisted a hispanic man who had
an epileptic fit and kept him from swallowing his tongue until he revived.

So when a poll is posted are you more racist or less racist or no change how do I answer?

No human is perfect. We all have our prejudices from many origins.
I believe the true spirit of a person comes down when you can value the lives of others as much as you value yours.

My views on race have not changed, but recent events have made me even more cynical about the media and the liberal establishment in general. It really hit home for me last night as I watched a 10 minute summary of the Floyd protests issue on NHK, Japan's equivalent of the BBC. When NHK covers international issues that are mostly unrelated to Japan, they never stray far from the most mainstream view. So when I saw their matter-of-fact portrayal of Floyd as a martyr and BLM and Kaepernick as heroes in the fight for justice in racist America, I knew that version of events had become the global media consensus.
