US police brutality item

The first amendment is not the cause of racism. Racism is a deeply rooted state of mind in the US. It is taught from generation to generation and often supported by certain religious factions as they use the Bible to back their claims.

Try living in the deep south of the US for a time as someone who was not born and raised there. Some of the things I heard took my breath away.

Speaking out now are those who were keeping their hate somewhat hidden but have been given the go-ahead to spew their nonsense loudly and proudly. The only good I see of it is that you are more likely to know now who has those racist leanings now that the PC filter has been taken off thanks to our bigots in charge.

And I don't bust on the south alone. In other areas of the country where racism was even more kept from public view, it's now acceptable to fly that flag.

You can thank the democratically elected government officials and their supporters for putting on public display what was often hidden from people who don't want to see such ugliness.
