So, sitting here and trying to figure out what is going on in the world and why are so many people mentally ill, I was thinking about psychology and what is environmental factors might contribute to some of the crazy thought processes or views on this country.
Personally, i am 40 never seen anything racist from my friends, associates, neighbors or travels. I grew up idolizing Pele (soccer star for Brazil), pretending to be like Michael Jordan in the gatorade commercial and enjoying the way the 1992 Olympic Dream Team represented our country and how we are the freest country with so much opportunity. The place everyone wants to come to. My parents weren't rich but worked really hard to provide for our family and then donate time and efforts in church, soup kitchens, must ministries and Samaritans purse. In school was taught about MLK and what a great leader, man of god and civil rights leader he was.
So fast forward to my adult life the country elected a black president to consecutive terms. I am in a men's small group with many ethnicities and backgrounds for that matter regardless of color. We encourage and support one another, eat together and workout.
I don't have any "White Guilt" because i have never even looked at the color of someones skin until it's brought up. I just love someone for who they are inside.
My question to the chat who say racism is a huge problem is do you just live in racists areas? Grew up with Racists parents or what?
The cop thing doesn't fly for me because i have been treated what i consider unfairly by police. Now no matter how bad, unfair, rude or scary i thought a cop was the last thing i am doing is trying to run or not comply. I personally had to experiences where i was like that guy was a jerk. However, when you are getting pulled over for speeding or taillight out i'm not thinking I am going to prison for 40 years. Is it unfair because their upbringing didn't teach them to comply with government authority? I know NWA had that song "f..k the police" is that just how they see police? I think my song would be "Yes officer" lol.
The other thing that really is although i don't agree with being gay, tranny or whatever new woke terminology is out there i have never said well i hate that person. I don't believe in their lifestyle but never tried to shove mine down anyone's throat either.
There is this new word "nonbinary" which i don't even know what it means to be honest but these people are "coming out". It seems though a common theme is these people are looking for acceptance or approval.
Just seems there are alot of people mentally unhinged right now and i am wondering if their outlook on things and new crazy sexual orientations and identifications is a great sign of larger issues within their lifes?
