Did anyone notice riots or destruction of property, people breaking glass of local businesses or burning cars in Minneapolis – and declarations of racial discrimination – when the white yoga teacher recently got shot by the black police officer Mohammed Noor?
Does that not say anything in volumes how educated Americans handle their disputes?
If you come out of your mother’s womb in the United States you are American; that’s nothing special, as we’re all mixed. So glorifying Mexicans and blacks and making everything about race is a falsity. There are no “pure races.” There is just the “feel sorry card” and the notion that we owe something. Bad things happen all the time, and I am tired of hearing that it is always racial discrimination.
My family is Dutch, German, Irish and Native American. Where are my special privileges? Why is my fourth- grade son only offered Spanish in school? Is that racism?
I’m just giving examples of hypocrisy, and how the rest of us white mutts handle our business. I wont be flipping out tonight, burning down my neighborhood, even if the cop that shot and killed an unarmed white woman is not my “color.”
