RE: Morgan Freeman and many others have some thoughts on race, black lives matter, guns, and more... Not the normal propagandized view.

in #news7 years ago

I'll have to take some time later to go through all these vids. Morgan Freeman is becoming my new hero.

Fortunately this past week I've been seeing more and more rational points of view. Charles Barkley did a great interview explaining as a black man growing up in Alabama he never once thought about any of the statues and removing them doesn't change history. He said protesters should spend their time figuring out ways to help blacks through education and stop wasting their time with racists.

My local news ran a piece where they interviewed people visiting Gettysburg to see if they supported the removal of confederate statues. Of the five people they interviewed on the air, 4 were against removal and one was for it. You would assume people taking time to visit one of our nation's most important historical sights would appreciate the history of our country and be against trying to erase history. I was glad the majority of them felt this way.

Yeah, I saw that one. It was a great interview.

Yet, I haven't seen ANY of that. Not surprised it was local news.

The local news report wouldn't go national because nobody was ranting and raving and losing their mind. It was simply regular people expressing their personal opinion in a rational way. Even the lady who thought they should be removed made her thoughts known clearly without resorting to rhetoric and BS.
