This reminds me of when we had an influx of gangs and the problems they brought back in the 80's and 90's. So many people claimed that the gang members were someone else, or coming from somewhere else. Or the people they knew that were in a gang just got caught up with the wrong people, they were good people. Back then I would tell them that these gang members are their sons and daughters, their mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends. There was not foreign invasion from outer space or from other countries. We found that with the exception of a few, they were exactly that. They were local people. We make excuses for lots of reasons. Some are because we don't want to face that we may be responsible in some way for the problem. Or we don't want to admit that our family member is a piece of garbage and should go to jail at the minimum. Or we hide behind race, sex, color, religion, etc. Your fellow Americans are in the streets destroying and harming people. They are not from another country or in most cases, even from another town. Now in the background on Fox news I hear how 200 years of slavery is to blame for this. That if we just pay reparations this will all go away. No more hate, no more dwelling on the past, no more affirmative actions, no more diversity classes, nothing. Just give them a cash payment and this all goes away. Really ? Sorry, I don't believe it for one moment.
