IMHO it's not the protest....it's the methods. Many are hypocrites.

They protest about oppression....as they buy $5+ mil homes and enjoy the good life. Do any of you have a remote clue how many trillions have been spent (thanks LBJ) on welfare, designed to keep folks in poverty and dependent on the govt.(who would vote to bite the hand that feeds you?) How many billions have been on programs to give women and minorities a leg up?

BLM protests cops shooting blacks...the reality is MANY more whites, per capita, are shot by police every single day. They feed off the media's BS narratives and protest when spurred on by their lies and exaggerations.

I am not a fool.....I get that there is still racism in this country....as there is in EVERY single country on this planet. Problem is....it will never change. But with every single generation I have been alive for, it has improved drastically. I am optimistic about the future.

So, IMHO, instead of protesting and crying about BS narratives....go out and speak in schools, not about how you are oppressed (hypocrites) but about how important education is and taking it seriously is. How important choices made are....we instinctively know what's right and what's wrong. Most of these athletes have been blessed by God and given talents that have allowed them to be successful beyond their wildest dreams. Those that are not blessed have to study and work hard and make good decisions to lift themselves up out of generational poverty (thanks LBJ) and THAT is the message that these hypocrites need to espouse.

Get out there and spend some of your millions (and I know that some do) to teach youngsters about their many options.....some only available in the freest (that spelling never looked right to me) country there is.............
