crimes solved.
Although i do want crimes solved, i'd rather not see crimes committed in the first place. So, why were they killed in the first place? Because they
were doing good things for other people? Or were they killed because of racism?
I acknowledge there is a problem.
I recognize there is a problem.
I accept there is a problem.
I knew there were racist cops before i ever posted in this thread.
I also am willing to recognize and acknowledge that there may be more racist black people than racist cops.
But, this shouldn't be a mentality of: "It's us against them."
this mentality does not build bridges, nor does it promote tolerance.
This is why my first post was what it was, and this is the point i was attempting to convey.
Or at the very least, i'm not willing to discount the possibility.
I'm still reviewing facts, and looking in the direction you pointed me in.
So, yes i see your valid points. And, yes i have an open mind.
Thanks,
john
