the left media, does well at this, also the democratic political party.

 

This will be a self feeding fire. More "peaceful protesters" will try to kill cops. More cops will kill "peaceful protesters" and the media will laugh all the way to the election. Meanwhile the race industry will rake in millions and do nothing.

 

Peaceful protesters aren’t killing anyone. Peaceful protesters aren’t looting either. In Minneapolis, the Autozone looter was a white supremacist biker gang associate. Anyone using a peaceful protest as cover for criminal activity is simply a criminal. That has never been in dispute. However, attempting to conflate and combine the two activities absolutely is in dispute.

Are there people who profit off the racial imbalance in America? Sure. Candace Owens makes a living as a pundit. And as you pointed out, people donate to the NAACP, the ACLU, and other organizations as they are free to do.

As far as murdering police, that’s Veterans involved in the white supremacist boogaloo movement, not peaceful protesters.

Of course, plain vanilla murder still happens everyday, and it’s still just as illegal and repugnant today, as it was yesterday.

 

I have worked in impoverished communities for over a decade. My observations and opinions come from the source, not my pundit of choice on tv or radio. My eyes and ears are wide open and my opinions and views were changed by what I observed and who I worked with. The thread is fine, but your mind is closed.

 

Yet the activities in your cities of late seems to speak otherwise. Without delving into politics, the entertainment industry, print & TV news industry, social media industry, Educational industry, all seem to promote the idea of one group blaming another group for exactly the reasons cited.

 

Try doing my job.....

 

I thought we weren’t doing hyperbole? That was your criticism. No one wants poor schools for anyone. But, most people don’t want to pay a tax increase to properly fund them either. Not at the Federal, State, and certainly not the local level. Go to your next city council meeting when they discuss a millage increase of 1/10 to buy new textbooks and watch the retirees come out of the woodwork in opposition. Now some communities do value education, and strong public schools as they recognize the value of a well educated work force base as the manual jobs are becoming highly automated and they want to keep their citizen taxpayers at home and productive. But that’s the exception.

Regarding President Obama’s children: What would you suggest the Obama’s should do about the education of their children, children who received credible and actionable death threats on a regular basis. How do you keep them safe? How do you keep their classmates safe? You send them to the school that has the most experience in The District with educating and securing high value targets. That’s how. President Carter’s kids went to public school, true. It was a different time, and he was a different president.

Did President Obama do enough for education? That’s debatable and his administration is certainly open for criticism. His administration was not openly hostile to education and student safety as the Trump administration is. Thankfully, just about everything Cruella DeVos tries (I couldn’t help myself on that one, it’s so low hanging) to do is so patently illegal it withers under initial scrutiny.

 

President Obama's children had secret service protection just as President Carter's did. I am not trying to say sending children to private schools is wrong. I am saying its wrong to openly oppose school choice for poor children while sending yours to private schools. There are plenty of charter schools that have nothing to do with DeVos. Often the schools with the highest spending have the lowest success rates (reference Baltimore). Charter schools are most times cheaper than the public schools with which they compete but have far better outcomes.

 

When asked about different races and groups of people, Holocaust survivor (his family did not) psychiatrist Dr. Victor Frankl said he divides humans into two groups. Good people and bad people.

Dr. Frankl wrote the famous book, “Man’s Search for Meaning”. I highly recommend it.

 

That is the only way I have ever viewed them also; either good or evil, but at varying levels.
My observations were of what happens currently in your society.
