There was nothing special about your daughter's (or mine) generation. Every generation has the 'power' to cause change. And every generation does that. It just may not be in the more obvious social upheaval that columnists like to point to and admire.

We can point to the many superb changes caused by a number of generations without dwelling on social turmoil. But, it's with due respect and understanding that I know that's the sort of thing you, Salter and the Mitchells of our time cling to (on bended knee).

Meanwhile: Never forget John Prine.

Personally I don't think, in the long run, it will matter. We are ripe for someone to take us over with little fight. Oh well. was nice while it lasted. Just glad people like my dad will be gone so they don't have to see how the country they saved was given away.

Why would anything change? The foundation of the movement is based on the death of aviolent seven (7) time felon who died because he was loaded on drugs and Covid-19. Now the lie is being repeated the with the death of a raging drunk driver in Atlanta.

If you take an honest look at every angle including all of the statistics. You are only left with one truth. And it is not the manufactured narrative that is being pushed by the media and these inorganic protests.

By the way Bill. Why don't you write something about a real hero martyr like Deputy James Blair who has become another statistical dead officer at the hands of a violent black male.

I don't see anything in these protests that would change the trends of criminal demographics. But the movement to defund cops isn't going to make anyone safer.
What i do see is a push to demonize any future George Zimmermans that are created by defunding police.

The demand for change is inevitable. The civil rights movement was about law. Changing the laws to include equal protection of everybody. That was an absolute good. Unless the law protects everybody it ultimately protects nobody. This movement is about cultural change. Whose life has value?
As 9:08 notes, a seven time felon loaded on drugs or a raging drunk? Do
their lives have value? A young disrespectful black man? Does his life have less value than a young disrespectful white man? Some police officers might think so. Just look at these protests and you can see the difference in police reactions. It depends on WHO is protesting. The police apply their values as they are taught. So what do we teach? This was coming sooner or later. So let's deal with it.

Mississippi will resist change. No matter how inevitable. Mississippi leadership will never be intelligent enough to see opportunity in change. We will remain last. People who seize opportunity make progress. We don't even want progress. Let's stay where we are. Now there.

Mississippi now trails NASCAR in social awareness. White
Mississippi sees little black girls being escorted by National Guardsmen w rifles, and white Mississippi doesn’t blink an eye. White Mississippi isn’t going to change. It thinks Reeves’s patently chickenshit bullshit “let the voters decide” cop out is cute. Bottom line: White Mississippi hates black people. End of discussion.

Mississippi has been changing and continues to change. Changing into Seattle, Portland or Minneapolis is not the kind of change I want any part of.

So true Bill. And as Freire said we have become the oppressed for our sins and the sins of our forefathers. The sin of slavery and white privilege is ours to own.

The difference I see between generations is that the millennials and GenZ are much more indoctrinated in socialism and communism than prior generations. The U.S, used to be driven by individual achievement and hard work. No more. A gender or minority studies degree is viewed as just as valuable as a medical, engineering, or finance degree. The snowflakes can’t understand why society isn’t throwing money equally at all of them.

I don’t think they are necessarily “woke” on racism or are fighting for equal opportunity for everybody. I believe it is more reflective of their belief society owes everyone equal results regardless of contribution and they are perfectly willing to tax the ambitious, hard working achievers to transfer benefits to those “unwilling to work” as AOC admitted was the liberal cause. Bring in the uneducated masses from third- world countries too because they also view their plight as the responsibility of American policies and actions.

America will die as a republic because of your daughter’s generation.

Crawford brings out the WOKE on this board.

If only WOKE = WORK

10:38, you're a fool if you think Mississippi has that monopoly on that!!!!

You should travel more, both in country and out of country.

Racism abound

recently i saw a sign at a YMCA that advertised 'karate for christ''. when i was a kid the saying was ''kill a commie for christ''.
