micro, on BLM
I absolutely agree. But I will tell you two stories that made me uncomfortable. They occurred since this BLM stuff started. Both were in DC.
- The first, I think I told out here. But in case I didn't, it occurred in one of the Congressional office buildings. I was leaving and got in an elevator and a black woman got in after me. She was joking around, I forget what she was saying now, but she was a fun person. I missed my floor and was heading down towards the basement levels, where some people work. This guy got on and made a crack to me, which I don't recall now, I think about how dumb I was for missing my floor or something. I laughed or said yeah, or something. I'm forgetting all the details here. The black woman shut up the minute he got on. I shut up, too. So did he. I felt it was a case of reverse discrimination. When they got off and I stayed on to go back up, I said to the woman, have a great day, nice talking to ya. The guy didn't say anything, but she was uncomfortable. He was trouble.
The second incident was recent. I was leaving DC by car and stopped at an intersection where I needed to turn right. I think there was four lanes going in my direction. I was the first car in the right lane. The light turned green, I looked to the left then the right and started my turn. Out of nowhere a guy on a bicycle. He must have been running the light. I jammed on the breaks and stopped on a dime, since I was just rolling forward at that point. Scared the heck out of both of us. He stopped on the side of the road for a moment and I rolled forward and put my window down and said, I'm sorry, I didn't see you. He said, what did you say? I repeated I'm sorry, he interrupted and said that's what I thought you said, don't worry about it. And I left. But he wasn't far from my thoughts all the way home. He was incredulous that I apologized to him. I was floored by that. It made me think what the heck is going on in DC? Is there real discrimination there? Maybe NY is just different, I don't know. It was disturbing, especially with Obama & Co. stirring up trouble. But it seems like something's not quite right. I wondered if there would be trouble. They have had knife incidents.
I'll tell you, too, I sat next to a black woman from the Army who works in the Pentagon at the Jamestown terrorism conference. I had a blast talking to her, we had a great day. She was telling me about her time in the ME and I showed her my Constitution, which I have had a bunch of luminaries sign. She spotted Flynn's signature in a second, she was in his battalion. She was with the guy who put together the agenda for the conference, who she works with. He was on the other side of me. Most fun I've had at a conference in a long time. Motto is there are lots of great black people. I worked with many in my business life and not one was a clunker. SO, I agree with you that the majority are good.
Radicals are always a minority. But they are dangerous. And BLM is pretty bad. But they do what Soros wants, since he pays them handsomely.
Btw, when I get behind on AB, it's next to impossible to get back to where I was so if I miss a post meant for me, let me know, folks.
