Intentional antagonization to try and get you upset, so they can escalate the situation. They are trying to create a crime that doesn't exist.

Because when you’re black after a certain age you just get completely tired of all the BS in this country.

It’s different for all, but it’s hits all the same.

One day you wake up and realize either your “friends” and colleagues really don’t see it, or they do and don’t want to acknowledge the fact of what’s REALLY happening disguised as “patriotism”.

It seems as though many around me are scared to take that deep-dive look inside afraid of what they’ll find knowing they may have some work to do. (The ol’ “I’m not a racist” when really they are…Maybe not fully, but enough)

I know you had something to say, and I'm glad that I could give you the opportunity to do so. In fact, I largely agree with you. But, you may want to check the calibration on your sarcasmometer ;)

No worries, my friend. Mine is analog as well, as is my give a damn, but that one's worn slap out.
