I am not trying to be right or wrong. I am attempting to bridge a dangerous gap in understanding and dialogue with people of all races. The division we face is not accidental and is being used to take our freedoms. The people who are leaders on both sides of this are using it to further their agendas and power. We are pawns on a chessboard and we all lose when we cannot talk together and understand each others motivations.

The BLM pins are not the problem. The problem is the lack of understanding of the motivations of the leadership of the movement. All of the people out there fighting for equality should be heard and have a right to achieve success in our society. The leaders of the BLM movement want nothing of the sort. Their goal and the goals of many "leaders" of similar movements is chaos. If community organizers succeed and the problems are solved what happens to them and their power? Our gain is their loss.

I am afraid of what will happen to all the people in this country if this gets out of hand. We are at a dangerous point and there could literally be massacres. That thing you posted was a crazy dude shooting nine people. Tulsa was a massacre. We cannot have incidents like that again, ever. I fear we are closer than we have ever been to something really ugly happening in this country because there are so many crazy people out there looking to band together.

I am about 25% Cherokee. My people went through this too. Trail of tears was truly a massacre. Its ugly and does have long lasting effects. You don't cure those effects by calling everyone racists who don't automatically agree with you. You talk, with an open mind and an ear toward understanding the view from the other side.
