Race is still a national issue

CNN airing a white  former cop pointing his gun saying, "I'm really enjoying my eggs Benedict, move along now." Referring to protesters who entered restaurants reading the names of the dead shot by police.

News flash; John Cardillo, that was a very racist comment. With the intent to threaten anyone who disagrees with you, using your gun. Nice NRA hat in the back ground.

Using a real weapon to get any message out was a little disturbing. Is this former cop someone the FBI ought to have a closer look at with regards to his right to carry or have weapons. His post infers he would kill a person for interrupting his meal. So mafioso.

The underlying truth is, in America we do not teach acceptance. Through culture, race, religion, or sexual orientation. America has a failing grade in our schools for lack of acceptance. .

No matter what culture we are from, all human beings have many things in common.

Face book and twitter make things easy for us to unlike some one when we find what they say offensive. But are we missing an opportunity for growth?

Recently a co-worker spoke of his race continually and the rich history that came with the culture he was from. As we were all enthralled by the conversation during a lunch. I knew the topic was a bed of underlying flames and all it needed was a torch.

America created laws that are not people friendly. One hand wants to lock up anyone who acts out. The other hand wants to medicate them. Another hand wants to free every one and start a new direction. With ex cops and current ones still facing a wrath of public opinion. The shootings continue nothing has changed.  Race is still a national issue.
