Our one son is bi racial ,So police are engaging those who protest George Floyd's murder [View all]

Tear gas rubber ammo as they make contact with those who are protesting a mans murder. Yet police will not engage those clown patriots who show up. With assault rifles flying Nazi flags or the confederate flag with tear gas or rubber rounds. This shit is upside down we all know it.

Our one son came to us through foster care years ago. We adopted and I joke and tell him he’s the first African American Slav in the tribe as he has our last name. It is last name Eastern European. As his father is black his mom is white. He has his father’s features in being dark skinned.

I told him this before and again if you ever find yourself compromised by police. No sudden moves just chill listen to what they say. And if you can try and turn on phone video to record or at least catch audio.

George Floyd was murdered and I’m just upset. Ask how many white men has this officer ever dealt with resisting arrest are they dead. I told my wife think if after the Emancipation proclamation, hold on I’m trying to say yes that happened in 1863 the order by Abe. Would it not have been awesome and I’m saying if we welcomed the three or four million Americans that were enslaved after 1865 as equal citizens.

A anger rant or ramble this is so tragic fucked up.
