Derrick...i seriously doubt you even know the history behind the "Thin Blue Line"? I learned as a kid to respect authority, especially the police. I guarantee you the police in my country have a harder job than you and I will ever have. Just a year ago, my neighbor a Master Police Sargent with the City of Virginia Beach was the second cop to arrive at the scene after a black man DeWayne Craddock tragically shot and killed 12 of his co-workers and 12 of my neighbors in Virginia Beach. Don't believe me? Just Google DeWayne Craddock, Virginia Beach and you can read all about it.
Derrick, without a doubt the most hurtful and insidious insult that's ever been cast my way was a year ago when Don Lemon of CNN called me a racist. I'll go into the details if you would like, but he's the reason I registered the domain SueCNN.com just a few days ago because that's EXACTLY what I intend to do. SueCNN.com is a domain I intend to develop to attract others like me to join in a CLASS ACTION lawsuit to bring about honest and truthful journalism.....you see Derrick, I'm not a racist, not even close. If this doesn't make sense, I feel very sorry for you Derrick
Richard, you won't ever hear me saying you are a racists. I think that specific term is used quite loosely at the moment. Not a fan of that. I don't support anyone advocating anger, hate and violence. That includes BLM. Not a popular thing to say but there you have it.
What I do hate are people polorizing opinions. Everybody white is white privileged, everybody black is unprivileged. Personally, all I care for is:are you an asshole or do you want to contribute to society?
I have no doubt, despite of the fact your wording could be better, you have the right intentions. Regarding 'racism' that is.
As much as I strongly disagree with a lot on the 'nonsense' you post. I can tell you're not a racists, by reading between the lines, and actually think you have nothing but good intentions. People should give you a break regarding this matter. I don't think it's a good subject to dive into right here, right now. Feel free to discuss in private (DM) anytime.
Regarding everything else, you have the time and money to waste on dreams that are as likely to work out in your favour as buying lottery tickets. For you that may be a nice game to play, for a lot of people, especially given the fact Corona is crushing the economy, it isn't.
Again Rich, it's nothing personal. May I ever be in the area close to you I would love to meet up and enjoy a nice whiskey. Given your 'life experience' and my 'youth' I'm sure we would enjoy the company.
Domaining wise however, I think we will always disagree and I hope your won't resent me for calling you out whenever I feel there's reason for it. Even though I think you're crazy as fuck at times (pardon my french) I respect you as a human being and have nothing personal against you.
