America is Not a Land of Racists

– Are the thousands of white parents who adopt Black kids out of foster care racists?

– Are the white owners who pay multimillion salaries to Black NBA players racists?

– Are the millions of Americans who live and die with their favorite predominantly Black basketball team or favorite Black star athlete racists?

– I have a Latino daughter in law, two Latino granddaughters and niece from Uganda. Am I a racist?

– My wife’s ancestors were part of the underground railroad that helped runaway slaves get to freedom. Is she a racist?

I’m sorry, but because of these obvious examples and a hundred others I have a real hard time believing we live in a country crawling with racist white people.

The liberal media have been working overtime every day trying to make us believe America is racist, but our everyday reality proves them wrong.

More than Democrats, Republicans, BLM protestors or rioters, it is the media who are fomenting a race war.

They almost make it seem like white cops go out each morning looking to kill an innocent Black man.

The news media seize on rare police shootings like the ones in Minneapolis and Kenosha and simplify them, sensationalize them, play the race card, declare the victim completely innocent and blame the cops long before all the facts are known.

The media will never point this out, but in Minneapolis, Atlanta, Kenosha and cities across the country, Black people call the cops for help, too. Are they racists?
