Lately I've seen alot of nonsense out there about the "Black Lives Matter" movement. Some of these terroristic yahoos have even gone so far as to call for the execution of white Americans and police officers. Now, I'm sure alot of these people got caught up in the hoopla of a few recent police shootings and needed some way to vent their frustration. Let's face it, race relations in our country have a pretty ugly history. However, how long does it take before we all just move on? Granted, I've never received the type of rascism that many african americans have in this country, but I've had people mistreat me, we all have! For some black activists to say that their situation is unique is to ignore human history. There once was a man by the name of Adolf Hitler who thought that if he just eliminated all Jews that all the problems of Germany would be solved. I'm sure there were far more Jews killed in the Nazi genocide than in the racial killings in America. However, the liberal media doesn't want people to see this fact. There are other examples as well, many immigrants to this nation faced discrimination of one kind or another. Are they any less important? Now, I agree that anyone killed unjustly by a police officer has a right to be outraged. Unfortunately, we've seen this situation in our country as well. I believe the phrase ""Absolute power corrupts absolutely" comes into play here. Giving some people the power and authority over others can be a dangerous combination. Supposedly, the screening process for our law enforcement agencies is designed to filter out these bad apples, but it doesn't always work that way. The background check for getting into law enforcement is long and intensive for a reason.
In the end, we all need to realize that whether black, white, Asian, European or whatever, EVERY life God has created matters!
