I absolutely 100% agree with our Constitution which says all men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I also do NOT believe anybody is being denied those rights. Everybody has the opportunity to bust their butt and rise above any circumstances to become anything they want.
Anybody who, like the CBS promo during the golf tournaments, says nothing has changed in America in the past 400 years is flat out lying and denying the accomplishments of men like Barack Obama, Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas among others.
Also, it seems incredibly disingenuous to take an upstanding young man like Patrick Mahomes - who recently signed a 1/2 BILLION contract - to hold up as a symbol of a group like BLM, which only seems interested in victimhood. He certainly isn't a victim. He's an example of how all men regardless of race should be able to pursue their dreams.
I'm not black and never will be, but I believe we are one nation and should act as one people. Dividing the nation along any lines is not productive and claiming victimhood for something that happened more than 150 years ago does not carry its weight. We should all step up and be responsible to make our nation better and stop relying on government to solve our problems. END OF RANT...
