Quote of the Day -- BLACK LIVES MATTER

Quote of the day, quote of the moment

"It's just so sad. You know, what stands out to me is, just watching the Republican (National) Convention, and they're spewing this fear, right. Like, all you hear is Donald Trump and all of them talking about fear. 

We're the ones getting killed. We're the ones getting shot. We're the ones who are denied to live in certain communities. We've been hung. We've been shot, And all you do is keep hearing about fear. It's amazing. Why do we keep loving this country, and this country does not love us back."

--Los Angeles Clippers Head Coach Doc Rivers

Quote of the Day -- Murderous Racist Edition

"When you cross state lines with an AR-15 and end up killing people, you're not defending your home.

It's called hunting."

Where We Are Now, America, With Racism, Systemic Racism and Very White Privilege

So get this straight, America.

An innocent Black American was killed.
On the streets.
Unarmed.
By yet another rogue police officer.
Shot 7 times.
In the back.

So naturally, rightly, people were out protesting.

Then a young, very young, 17 year old man, white man, 20 miles away, drove to Kenosha, to the protests.

He crossed a state line to do it, too.
With his assault rifle.

Which is illegal.
And he ended up shooting 3 people.
Killing two.

And he walked away from it.

And now people are defending him, saying he's innocent and should go free.

Right.

Got it.

And some of Americans don't think systemic racism exists.

In fact, Nikki Haley, at the Republican National Convention, says racism doesn't exist in America.

Sure.
