Thank you Thom Hartman for your perspective on the Marissa Johnson diatribe

22. I no longer think she is any of those things

I think she is a curious young woman, who doesn't like herself very much- specifically her white self. I think in her quest to claim her racial identity she has allowed herself to become an extremist by those would would manipulate her lack of political sophistication and have her do their bidding.

But unlike the white woman who got her hair permed and pretended to be black, who only hurt herself and her loved ones. Ms. Johnson's actions have the potential to hurt many more. Is today day 4 or day 5 of Oath keeper milita's occupation of Ferguson? They're both racists and anti government- just itching to pull the trigger on someone. There will be a massacre there if they do.

I feel I can see what is coming down the road with this and I've got skin and blood in this game all the way around. Black, White, Latino and Asian and we've all worked really hard to eliminate the prejudices and bigotry in our multi racial family.

And I can't sit back quietly and keep my opinions to myself and watch our children be incited to take on the system in a violent manner by a young woman who is looking to make HER black life matter. Sorry, my black children's lives matter more.
