OK Mr. Q
If anyone is still wondering why the Black Community lags behind most others in achievement, efficiency and potential, Floyd can be remembered as a perfect example that embodies their folly. Elevating Floyd to the status of a role model, injecting unfounded claims of “Racism!” into every situation to portray themselves as victim, riots fueled by indulgent emotional hysteria and erroneous group-think, and the ever present refusal of personal responsibility. The developing state of their cultural values is far behind the social norms of their host nation. And their choices and behavior reinforces negative stereotypes to breed resentment and “Racism!” where none existed before. Their “Racism!” is of their own design.
People really need to stop pulling the “race card”. Very typical of Democrats to do just that, always seems to be about race and not the fact that they actually did something illegal.
Why is the United States military being used to fly illegals and resettle them all over America – Much better idea ! Put our military AT THE BORDER and enforce our constitutional laws – Things are azz backward and corruption abounds.
Should have had judge davenport. Would have got off without a penalty of any sort.
Would have still done time, they aren’t child molesters.
