The problem is it's just getting plain stupid on numerous fronts because no one wants to have a reasonable discussion. Reading the news just now and see Facebook employees want to stage a walkout because the CEO didn't take down Trump's post. The Sacramento kings have suspended one of their announcers because Demarcus Cousins asked what he thought of BLM and he replied with the "All Lives Matter".

Everyone wants to thing they are on some sort of moral high ground:

* A bunch of kids just want to be part of some grand "positive" change with no real answer on how to get there
* Tons of white people don't want to admit there are any problems at all
* Ton of black people are way to quick to play the victim card
* Politicians and CEO's are crazy busy writing nice "we care about you and feel your pain" speeches while not working toward any good resolutions because bi-partisan compromise is evil incarnate
* Hispanics and other minorities are feeling totally left out of the conversation
* Many people just want to watch the world burn

It's one big hot mess and just shows the lack of true leaders on all fronts we have right now. We have way to many pompous, self-serving blowhards on media outlets and in positions of political power such that noboby trust anything that comes out of the "other" sides mouths.

Objectively looking at the Floyd situation, in a vacuum it's most likely a series of unfortunate events that led to his death. Absolutely sad still but not some menacing murder. He gets into the cop car and we're not here, the cop gets off him 3 minutes earlier and we're not here. The fact that this is "THE" breaking point example is just crazy and it's "most" likely the situation had nothing to do with race, but instead many people look at black man killed by white cop and "most" assume it was entirely about race. Are we having the same discussion if this is Hispanic cop or a AA cop? Probably not, but the end result for George would have been no different and the focus on proper police techniques should be no different but it's entirely different.

With all the positive traction race relations have made over the past 50 years how in the world did we end up here suddenly? We're about 20 years away from most of the people that really knew what racism was about being gone. My mid 40's generation is less racist than my parents, the generation behind me is less than my generation, my elementary school's generation is even less. Two weeks ago I could honestly say that I thought socio-economical issues were a much bigger concern than race relations.

It's pitiful we're here and I've reach the point where I'm pissed at the fact that we've hit the Spaceballs point of "being surrounded by assholes" because of the total lack of common sense being displayed by an alarming high rate of people.
