Probably will never use any of this in my memoirs, but back to needing some cathartic avenue to get things off my chest without saying them to anyone …
Where was Black Lives Matter when four black officers were killed in line of duty last week?
It’s truthfully sick when an innocent person is killed by anyone. And, tragic when they are killed by officers of the law, sworn to protecting citizens.
But, still. The Black Lives Matter movement – are they just anti-police? Are they not really for “Black Lives?” I understand I can’t say this out loud. Ever. But, South Side of Chicago? Hello. The Donald called it a war zone and I acted very offended and added my “how racist” comment. But, really, kids are being shot on their porch, moms killed walking kids to school…. sickening.
Four BLACK officers killed in one week. Shouldn’t BLM be outraged?
No?
Just anti-police then? Sad. Because truly I believe what I said when I first heard about Black Lives Matters – All Lives Matter.
I’m ok with the divisiveness – like what do I care? Legitimately doesn’t affect me one way or another: I need the black vote so I’m pro BLM. Privately, I don’t care. Why would I? After they vote? What could they possibly do for me then? It’s not like I’ve really tried to help blacks once in office. I’m against magnet schools and vouchers which could help black community. After all, education is the equalizer. Or women either, really. I have never really tried to work for equal pay for women. Sure, I talked a good game. But reality? When I was in the Senate, the women that worked for me were paid 72 cents for each dollar paid men. And, good thing the Clinton Foundation pay is not public. Same stuff.
In reality. I’m a talker, not a doer. Like Benghazi – it was really my lack of action that was the problem. Not what I did. The problem was what I didn’t do.
What kind of tangent am I on? Just a cathartic ramble. Getting the nerves out before the big debate.
Probably not a good idea to stay too long on the computer.
Last random thought. Still hate Kaine. I’m trying to get over that, but so hard. Looking at him irritates me. Deep breath.
More later.
