This is the stuff that clouds our ability to have a cogent conversation about the inhumanity of humans against other humans. The fact is that prejudice and bias is in human DNA. It occurs in all cultures throughout the world. In many cultures it acceptable right, wrong or indifferent however in America through our journey we have proclaimed that all are created equal and should be treated as such. The treatment of Blacks as second class citizens or as animals is steeped in our history regardless of a single person's behavior. Black people continue to be treated less than in this great country and our continuing struggle together is to narrow that gap for all citizens. The reality is that as much as try there always will be the have and have nots. How we decided to live together share resources, appreciate what each culture or race has to offer the better we will thrive together. George Floyd may not be extra ordinary but his death is in what it represents to the senseless killings of people of color that continues today.

I appreciate the conversation and all the points of view and prospectives by you all that willing to speak up and try to understand it all. It is difficult for me as well as Black person that has experienced bias, prejudice and great love and support from White people and others. It is what breaks my heart and gives me hope! DON'T STOP TALKING as it has lead to this!!! We have given up to degree because it is hard, we have given up because we think enough has been done, we have given up because Blacks will never be satisfied, we have given up because some Blacks have taken advantage of whatever.

We must not give in to all the noise that surrounds the conversation of how do we continue to struggle and strive to be better together.

Much Love and Respect!
Bob
