    It appears to me that they are willing to risk their health for a higher purpose. They have their priorities straight in other words. Peaceful protest has far more value than hitting the beach, dining out, hanging out in bars, etc, etc, etc. At least to some folks.....

    That was quite a reach you made there, did you hurt your back in the process?

    "Please stop injecting yourself into crises. Don’t try to tell governors what to do. Instead of calling for calm & for the nation to unite, you were sequestered in the White House basement & silent.

    Governors and mayors, on the other hand, were actively engaged in trying to bring order to their cities and towns. The #NationalGuard has been deployed across the country and most of the demonstrations were largely peaceful.

    While you only seem to feel the need for the use of more force, local elected leaders tried to control things in a way that will allow them to build for the future. While you just want to condemn people, real leaders are acknowledging the very real racial issues we are facing.

    In times like this, real leaders step up, and deal with the immediate problems while acknowledging the need for reform at all levels: police, eduction, housing, economic opportunity & more. This country desperately needs a real leader at the helm to deal with our racial issues, the #coronavirus, all those who are out of work, climate change and the myriad of
    other issues facing us.

    We need a leader to plan for the future. You, Mr. #President, are not that leader. In fact, you are making things worse on almost every front. Please, go back to your bunker and let the real leaders solve our problems.

    Nope.

    Last week it is - stay at home to prevent senseless deaths.

    This week it is - get out of home to prevent senseless deaths.

    The message is consistent. It is unfortunate, that in 2020 we are still dealing with racism causing senseless deaths that people need to go to the streets during the pandemic - but both of these actions are consistent with the idea that people's lives matter, be they old, sick, black, white, religious or otherwise.

    Anyone that can not see this... shame on them.

    Is this going to be a repeat of what happened a few weeks ago?

    Cup was saying it exposes people for who they really are (I didn't take it as him referring to hailblazer). I said that the 'expose' people for who they are, reminded me of a friend of mine who said he'd rather know people are racist than not know.

    No where was I assuming, implying or suggesting anything about hailblazer. You made one monumental leap of logic there. You're making something out of absolutely nothing, and to be honest, you do that a lot.

    I made a statement based on an if. Sounds like you are the one making a big deal over it (you do that alot. Make a big deal of things and then blame others for doing the same)

    You could have said, yeah I know. instead of making a big deal out of it.

    Here is the chain of posts.

    All I did was say IF you are trying to imply. All you had to say is i'm not trying to imply that, but instead you are now making a big deal out of it, while accusing me of the same.

    Funny shit man....



    You responded to that last post, which was a loose implication that HailBlazers post is exposing some sort of racial tendency based on your response to HailBlazers post.


    Come on now....

    If that wasn't your intent, then just state so and move on instead of making it a big deal.

    See how that works and there is always two sides to every coin? ;)

    Edit: Lets not argue. There were loose statements made that could b seen from several angles, we saw it from different angles, and I only clarified that IF..

    Not worthy of all of this now. If you agree he doesn't have those tendencies, then just say so.

    You mean where I said "that's quite a reach you've made there" and
    No where was I assuming, implying or suggesting anything about hailblazer.


    ?

    Like that? But go ahead and write a soliloquy about this.
