Since when has being college educated translated into being indoctrinated or mush brained?
It sounds to me you seem threatened by someone that has the words to say what's on their mind without calling others scum or mush brained or rats.
AlI my thoughts and opinions come from my own research and experience as college educated, U.S. Army combat veteran, who for the last ten years has served the city of Savannah, GA as police officer and instructor.
My ideas and thoughts also stem from being the product of an interracial relationship. This led to me being subject to discrimination on both sides of the racial spectrum. Despite that, I have become a well respected law enforcement professional. I speak on things as the way I have seen them through my own eyes and certainly do not need any political news outlet to tell me how to see the world. I try to subscribe to both schools of thought as both have their valuable qualities.
While there's plenty to be gained from both sides; it's quite evident that both have their own agenda and neither agenda particularly favors the working American.
While I am a working man, I'm more importantly a follower of Jesus Christ and a family man. I try to live by Christ's example as best I can and along with my wife we teach our children to do the same.
My wife and I also stress to our children the value of education and for speaking and standing up for what they believe in. Even if that means it is met with uninspired and unoriginal rhetoric in kind. I encourage my kids to keep their faith in God and not in man. Because as my own experience and history itself has taught me: most men do not value peace.
Though Christ sacraficed himself for us all. He did so knowing full well that many of us would not accept or live by his example. His example was studying and conversing with people that he knew would reject his thought process but he did so because of his love for them. Jesus teaches us to hate sin but not sinners because we all sin and fall short of his glory. That is where my call for unity comes from not some politician, or news media outlet. It's what God wants for us; for his children to live in peace.

Marcus, don't let the steelers dude living in his moms basement with his GED taped to the wall even talk to you. He's just a bitter no talent troll out.

that goes for Cleve, the nonsense tornado.

Looks like it's over! -

I read the first post, scrolled all of the way, and am assuming, somewhere along the way, "Obamao" was blamed for the divide. Am I right?

Where's my free phone Woody? Why do I have to work while some irresponsible woman has unprotected sex and cant feed the three she already has? Why should I pay out the wazoo for medical insurance while some get everything for free? Because I work? It's fucking bullshit.I read the first post, scrolled all of the way, and am assuming, somewhere along the way, "Obamao" was blamed for the divide. Am I right?
Everyone should be responsible for their own actions and suffer the repercussions of bad choices, then they won't make the same misstakes over and over again bleeding into another generation doing the same.
On the protesting...oh it's ok to bust out a window and steal a tv because some thug got shot? Or if it was a policmans fault then it's ok for all police all over the country to get shot at?
The Dems are mosty to blame and when it makes a shift of course it the fucking white people.

That wasn't my intended message. Of course many point a finger at Obama for dividing the country. I contend that the country has been divided long before Obama took office. Did some of his actions and words create tension? I don't think so, because the tension was always there. Did the country divide and start to mistrust each other because of Obama? I don't think so because division and mistrust already existed. I will say that Obama's Presidency and the election of Donald Trump has brought these tensions, divisions, and this mistrust to the forefront.
But instead of addressing it the way it should be we're content to personify our greatest fears about one another. I pray that these happenings don't take us to a place to where there's nowhere to go but further into darkness.

Okay, Mr. Marcus, you're walking on the fightin side of me now. LOL
No, it's just that ObaMao made them worse...way, way worse. As pres, he made
a national disgrace of himself by belittliing the Boston white policemen, and supporting
the black professor, without knowing the facts. big oops.
Then he went and lit a fire under the Al Sharpton's influence etc etc etc..... by talking about
how Trayvan Martin could have been his son. Without knowing the facts. That's pretty sad.
Can you imagine a white president supporting a guilty white kid that got deservedly shot,
and then saying that the kid could have been his son because he was white?
Obamao threw gasoline on a smaller fire. and he did it with arrogance, and belligerence, like no other
president who isn't black, could.
"Barack Obama is the most partisan president in our life time and he seems to understand almost instinctively that racial polarization is essential to the Democratic Party’s electoral strategy. (See this essay by Seven Malanga in the City Journal.) In the aftermath of police shootings in St. Paul and Baton Rouge, the president said, “These are not isolated incidents. They are symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system.”
Did those comments cause Black Lives Matter marchers in Dallas to chant “Pigs in a blanket; fry ‘em like bacon”? It certainly didn’t discourage it."

Looks like I was right
-
-
Obama was the most decisive president in Cala mind because he's black and democrat. But mostly because he's black
-
He's half white.
-
But he looks black and that's triggering enough for cal
-
Im not sure anyone is going to say this country is less divided since Obama.
-
But it had nothing to do with Obama.
-
Right... He's totally innocent.
-
Obama's picks for AG have all been racist's.
-
great. cleve etc are going to say I bash obaMao because he's black.
and I guess I bash higgardly the lying marxist pig because she's white.
and I think geraldo rivera is a very intelligent, bigoted asswipe because he's...eh...
of mexican descent?
false narratives are a boon to liberals with zero integrity.
