    Ok...I really don't understand the issue with using delusional.  I'll be honest, picking on it seems really petty to me.  But of course other words and common phrases have gone by the wayside in similar fashion.  So maybe?  Nah I just don't get it.

    Surprised no one here is talking about this video since the cop is essentially talking about a majority of “protestors “ being racist white people. Ironic.

    You actually think thats true? The majority of protestors are racist white people? Also why is the video cut up and edited like it is. Why not just show the whole thing I wonder?

    I don’t think that. It just sounds like that from this 1 cops perspective . Honestly to me, it’s just a shame what this movement is becoming. Another thing that started good but is slowly becoming bad.

    I think about that from time to time.  I'm not a religious kind of guy, but whenever I think about Ginsburg,  I think, "Thank you God, for Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  Please keep her here at least until the end of the year."   I know that sounds selfish, but I do so hope, hope, hope.

    Is this a hate crime? 
    These murals cause more problems than anything unfortunately. And I firmly believe that it was disingenuous on DeBlasios part and was pure political bickering.

    I'm starting to think the whole current civil rights movement ,and the aim of achieving equality and fairness, and an effort to resolve the ongoing issues of racism has begum to derail in a big way.  

    With the death of John Lewis, we have lost one of the great civil rights leaders- a man with the energy, intelligence, leadership abilities, and commitment to do great work toward moving things ahead in the right direction.  And before him, gone are the others who possessed similar qualities- Martin Luther King, Paul Robeson, Medgar Evers, Barbara Jordan, Stokely Carmichael, among others. 

    Today, we have a few remaining folks who fill those shoes, but few that stand to tall.  Currently, it seems like there is more disorganization and confusion as to how to achieve the goal of civil rights, and an organization- Black Lives Matter- that seems to be a fractured body with poor direction and weak leadership.  There are various reason for that- sensationalist "news" media, infiltrators, unfocused anger, and, of course,  the ongoing resistance from white supremacists.

    It's very difficult and disheartening to have grown up in the well focused times of civil rights and watch the whole thing basically become a confused clusterfuck.  It's not that everything was perfectly well orchestrated in 1950's through 1970's Civil Rights times, but it sure was a hell of a lot better focused and organized.  I don't see how this is going to end well.
