We are talking about how one insolent police officer, without a heart, killed a man in cold blood... Plus 3 cowards, that for what ever reason, didn't pull a fellow officer off the neck of a prisoner... Terrible thing he done, but 99% of police officers, plus 99% of the Caucasian race in this nation doesn't need to constantly reminded what bad people we are....

That we should get down on our knees and humbly pray and ask God, why did you make me white? I'm tired of that... UK put out something about how we owe the black population something, our apologies... The police get down and humble themselves, before rioters on their knees, to show they aren't like that man... What do these rioters and liberal media want?

I wonder how silent these universities would be, if they weren't recruiting those black athletes...? If anyone uses black athletes its colleges... Oh, but what about the blacks that use colleges for a free education and a chance at being a millionaire... It goes both ways, they need each other.. Matter of fact, we as a nation of people, red blooded people, need each other...

I don't like to hear that I have abused someone just because I'm white... The vast majority of us, black and white, would get this equality thing settled, if it wasn't for the agenda driven media... No one wants anyone in this country to be treated like a dog, and I'm sure that a lot of people (black people) has a legitimate gripe... I'm for electing officials that get in office and make a better life for everyone...

You can't do it by a billionaire sending in pro rioters to burn our nation down, while were going through another punch that hit America, Corona Virus...

Here’s the thing...watch young kids...they could care less what color the kid next to them is as long as they share and are having fun. It’s the adults that mess things up. They have to impose their beliefs and problems on their kids and others!

I grew up in a military family on a military base outside the US. As a kid, if you couldn’t get along with all races and nationalities, you likely didn’t have any friends. My parents accepted everyone...especially the young guys who had just joined the service. If they were hungry, homesick, or just wanted some company...they knew where to come to. We need more of this attitude from everyone.

I'm a 60 year old white male, straight, Catholic, middle class. I try to treat everyone I meet with respect and I expect the same of them. I try not to judge people based on race, gender, religion, sexual preference or anything other than how they interact with me. I think that is the way everyone should be and I don't feel the need to apologize to anyone for how someone else treated them just because the person that treated them that way has the same skin color as me, or is a male, or is a Catholic or is straight. I'm nowhere near perfect but, if everyone did this, there would be no need for protests.

People should look up the case of Tony Timpa in Dallas from 2016. Extremely similar situation to George Floyd, except he was white. I'm guessing none of you ever heard of it. I hadn't until yesterday.

I watched that the day it was released. Horrifying how heartless the cops were in the jokes they were making. One distinct difference was the fact that they barely applied pressure to his head and neck and he still died which goes to show that this method of apprehension should absolutely be banned. Officers should face consequences but I doubt you would get homicide out of it. They at least get off him and even check for a pulse. Chauvin did no such favors for George Floyd.

My privilege was growing up in the housing projects of Lebanon, KY with an alcoholic father and disabled mother. We went to the county barn every month and got food, rice, raisins, powdered milk, powdered eggs and cheese to have enough to eat. We had pinto beans 3 or 4 days a week and one whole week all we had to eat was potatoes. I bought a baseball glove for a left-hander, even though I am right-handed because that's all I could afford. I mowed yards in my neighborhood to help with bills. I started working on farms stripping tobacco when I was 8 years old and worked on people's farms during the year for spending money. My high school graduation gift was a t shirt. Most kids now days have cell phones, even lower income kids. Most people have air-conditioning, we didn't until I got in high school. We had on tv in our house. We didn't have a family car for most of my life so I had to walk or bum a ride every where I went. I walked several miles to my part-time job while going to college. I ain't checking ****.

No need to dislike someone because of the color of their skin. Sit down and talk with them for a while, then you can find plenty of other reasons to hate them...
