Some folks need to cool their jets.

I don't know if it's an offshoot of the Black Lives Matter crap, or if it is just a coarsening of society, but things are getting worse down here between the races. There seems to be a lot more black on white crime, much of it for no apparent reason.

One of my friends, along with her daughter and grandbaby, were chased by a carload of young black guys this week. The chasers tried more than one time to run them off of the road, and they escaped by running through two red lights, at peril of their lives.

My sister-in-law's friend in Baton Rouge wasn't so lucky...a young black man robbed her yesterday morning and then shot her in the chest. She's in critical condition at The Lake and may, or may not make it.

That's just a couple of incidents. If you follow a bit on Facebook, you hear of a lot more stuff, much of it not making it to the news media. I'd say a lot of it is bunk, but I'm able to confirm most of it.

People, grown people are starting to become afraid. And as I wrote elsewhere, there has been an absolute run on weapons down here.

Unless some in the black community cool the rhetoric down, things could get very ugly, indeed. People will not hear you screaming about oppression when they fear for their safety.

Got specific names in mind?

So far I read lots of appeal for peace, lots of condemnation for violence, no call for violence.

You think there's no call for violence in our social meme against cops?

Yes, propagated by cnn.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

OK, Jolly said "some in the black community," and I did not immediately think of CNN as part of the "black community." My bad.

There is not much question that Mr. Obama encouraged the blm movement.

And that movement has clearly advocated killing police. Not just advocated, but demanded - Now!

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

The "n words" are getting uppity to be sure.

Throw off line--but the Blacks never did fit into America. It just isn't working.

Only if you differentiate between niggers and black folks, Tom.

Even in a segregated South, as a young lad I was taught there was a huge difference between "colored people" and niggers. Colored people were black, but they were people just like we were...They were working people that wanted their children to have a better life than what they had. They tried to own their own homes. They sent their children to the best schools they could - and that was the most awful thing about the segregated South, Tom, that people were denied opportunity based on the color of their skin. They were God-fearing people who went to church and tried to do the right thing.

OTOH, I was taught that niggers were black and white trash was white, but there wasn't a dime's worth of difference between them. Shiftless, lazy, lacking in morals and common decency. People who never appreciated a hand up, but wanted a hand out and were not greatful for whatever you did for them.

Now, Tom, that's just old-fashioned plain talking. You don't have to put words in my mouth, I usually say enough on my own.

I guess I didn't say it to well Jolly and I stand corrected. But I actually agree with everything you said.

My apologies.
