This old white guy should like to address the KauKasians who profess not to see racial

discrimination in this "post Obama" era. I am capable of speaking my mind without resorting to profanity, but I choose to use it with you because 1.) we both know it is how you express yourself and, 2.) it makes me feel good. So, here goes: pull your heads out of your asses.

A couple years ago, an unarmed 17 year old black male, one Laquan McDonald, defied a policeman and continued walking down the middle of a Chicago street after he'd been ordered to stop. The cop shot him 16 times at close range, continuing to fire after McDonald lay motionless on the street.

A week or so ago, a 21 year old white male, Dakota Theriot, murdered his parents and three other innocent people in Louisianna. His father lived just long enough to ID his son as his killer. Theriot drove 16 hours to his grandmother's house in Virginia and police were waiting for him.(Pay attention to this next part) He pulled up to his grandma's house with his gun sticking out the window AND WAS ARRESTED WITHOUT BEING INJURED!

This comparison could be duplicated again and again and again in this country---and you damned well know it. So stop this bullshit about white lives matter and blue lives matter. Don't hide behind your feigned ignorance. Either change your attitude or just admit that you are another insecure racist white dude who can't deal with his own shortcomings.

It turned out to be these 2 Black Hispanic Muslim Immigrants who crossed the border of racist imaginations. Since Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, whatever. What happens when drug dealing cop killers are the white family next door? Build a wall? Travel Ban?
