GOD himself ignores skin color, which means WE are required too do the same! Darker skin is a large advantage by the equator, while lighter skin is better in cold climates. That is the simple reason for variations in skin color, other than that we are all the same. Some are less intelligent, and regardless of the skin pigment involved, these unintelligent ones are rioting now!
I run security at Church. We have all skin pigments there, and I would die to protect them all, they are My Family! I was at his house when one Baby came home, he is now chasing girls; his Father helps me feed the homeless, and is an elder. Stephen is from Nigeria, and is a Very good Man; and those girls are giving Simeon fits, as is normal, LOL!
Peaceful Protests are supported around here. Agitators tried to start Riots two times locally. Not only did they get ignored, our Peaceful Protesters came back the next day; and helped clean up the mess the agitators caused. THAT is an adult response. The second time, some were stopped by the protesters, and ended up under arrest. Then they left....

And this is how it should be.
Not all people are good, that is clear, but we are all people. The color of a person doesn't make them good or bad, their actions do.
I was proud of the protesters here! I don't agree with their position, BUT I respect them; BECAUSE they protested Peacefully. They got a meeting with the Mayor from it!
We had some Police abuse of power here, in two instances, in BOTH cases, the officers involved went to Prison! WE do Not put up with this Crap here, Everyone is under the Law; and no one is above it! We even removed the Sheriff, for cause, related to one of these, and replaced him with a Conservative Sheriff.
That is part of the reason the Protesters refused to riot, they saw that they will get a fair shake under the Law here!
:)>It's good to hear your cops, the bad ones, were punished and that your protesters were respectful, and were treated with respect in turn.
I live in a suburb (until I get to the homestead) where most of the police I see, are helping people. Here the city decided that here it would be a more attractive for those looking for a place to live, if Police were helpful.
Our cops don't like a Bad one, as it hurts the good ones!
It works, well.
:)>It sounds like they are sensible then, it's a good thing. It seems America has a lot of problems, but good to see that some of it is getting it right.
All our problems are caused by the liberal's thirst for power and control! If they would leave others in peace, things would be peaceful and calm here.
I am proud of them for sure, they have added weight to their argument!
♡♡♡♡Can I ask...Do you feel the world has gone beyond the point of no return? It's all good and well to say, if we do this, if the populace do that, but will they? I'm not being argumentative, just curious on your thoughts.
Sometimes I feel the world has gone so far that it will not be able to find its way back without a momentous event, a massive rollback. The small voices here and there don't seem to make a difference and it is a global issue, not just an American one so the rollback has to be global.
I do not believe it will improve for the better in my lifetime and that makes me sad because I am old enough to recall a simple life, pleasure in the little things, and when people had common decency, courtesy and respect.
It saddens me.
