Race relations are better, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Jesse Jackson has had very little influence in the black community for a long time. I know because I am a black person. I can tell you that there are problems within the black community that can only be solved by the black community, but we don't create our own problems when it comes to race relations. I am a law-abiding citizen who has worked in the criminal justice field, and I have been racially-profiled by the police and private citizens. When I worked for a law enforcement agency, I got to witness first-hand the types of bogus calls police had to put up with from prejudiced citizens. Even the non-black officers complained about them.
I agree that there is much work still to be done. I don't think that is is as big of a problem as the media makes it out to be though. I think that the vast majority of blacks and whites get along well with each other, and that is is only a small part of the population that the police have to deal with, and that get on the news. I was wondering if you have any ideas about how to fix the race problem? I don't have one right of the top of my head, I was just curious. By the way, thank you for your service as a law enforcement officer.
That's why we have history books and museums. Should South Carolina also fly the flag of Great Britain? t was under Great Britain's control much longer than it was under the CSA. The swastika is a part of Germany's history. Should they display that on government buildings?
The Union Jack is still the flag of a current country. Flying it would be unpatriotic or perhaps akin to treason. And if you ban the Confederate flag, then where do you stop? Do you ban everything that contains an image of the flag? Books? Movies? Websites? I think the swastika is more of a symbol of a political party and not of a country.
He didn't do it once; he did it more than once. You say "one stupid thing" like it's a simple mistake that most teenagers make. He sexually molested several girls multiple times. It's a crime and a serious one that can have lasting psychological effects on the victims. He hasn't proven that he's changed. Most sexual predators go undetected for years or forever.
How should he prove he has changed, if not in the way that he already has? He was forgiven by his parents, the girls he molested and by Jesus Christ. Whether or not you and I forgive him doesn't really matter.
I think we have discussed these subjects enough by now, and we are clearly not going to change each others minds, so I suggest we drop this discussion. You can have the last word though if you like.
Oops. That didn't post exactly like I expected it to. Oh well.
