WOW! Recent times and life situations have taken the show to hysterics. Of course it is the sign of the times. I used to respect that the Ladies provide some usually all sides of issues and rationality but no longer. Defend and protest for Black Lives is Great, Wonderful, Marvelous but sensible and reality has gone off the scale. I am 68, white, male who marched with MLK, was arrested, beaten, robbed along with my Black brothers and sisters multiple times. I have continues to fight the inequalities my entire life but it is now swinging too far. Destroying the honor of our forefathers like GW, TJ is not responsible or correct. The world has always had slaves and not just Black. Also Black men have enslaved Black men forever and still do with no influence of white men. Oh, we forgot that too Sonny miss educated historian. We as people evolve and societies evolve slower. These fathers of our country brought the opportunities (by fighting and dying) to make these changes affecting the whole world to change. Fighting to support the doctrines they established is what allows us the option to keep fighting and finally complete the change. SHAME on you for dishonoring them because they are not perfect to today's standard. Michael G Kortum USN (Ret)
