And also, you do hear people apologizing for their race and ancestors. Intersectionality is a dangerous thing. I’m not apologizing for something a whack job cop did. I didn’t stand on a guys neck. My race is not who I am. We have a bad habit of making one’s race their identity, when in reality it is nothing more than an identifier.
I agree. I won't apologize for that cop, or my race. Yes, there are awful white people out there. I am not one of them. I had nothing to do with that ******* kneeling on George Floyd's neck for 9 minutes. That's like saying I'm over 6 feet tall so I should apologize for anyone else over 6 feet tall who is an *******. It is not being what that makes anyone an ******* just as it isn't being over 6" tall that makes anyone an *******. I'm also not saying one shouldn't speak out when they see injustice, but unless I personally a responsible for that injustice, I don't see why I should be apologizing for it.
If every person on the left was as reasonable as you, I would become a Democrat again tomorrow.
Most of them are, but the reasonable ones probably don't post much on message boards and social media. You probably hit on the reason in another thread you started. Due to the backlash they get from what you would call the radical left. Same goes for the right. Most of what you see posted is not very reasonable.
Sadly, I think many Americans no longer care (if they ever did) about being reasonable, or listening to both sides of a situation
