Systemic Racism

I was one of many hundreds of people in our little town in Central California who protested the murder of George Floyd in May of 2020.  In fact, there were Black Lives Matter supporters all around the world who spoke as one, to the effect that civilized society will not tolerate extra-judicial killing by those who are provided guns and given the responsibility to keep people safe.

One might think the killing of unarmed black people is so totally indefensible that the American people would unite and demand that this cease, but no, today’s Republicans are banning all school books that would inform our young people blacks are often treated more aggressively than white people in comparable situations.
