Oh, it’s not just on this topic, I’m pretty negative about a lot of topics. Let’s face it the world is messed up right now on so many levels. I will be better after a few drinks. I also believe in calling out reporters and mis information as the media fuels so Many of our current problems.
My job also requires me to be upbeat, positively, motivating and reassuring 50-60 hours a week, and although I’m loving what I’m doing it’s not who I naturally am. So I’m guessing it’s how I find balance? That’s actually kind of sad...
But really on this topic it started because I consider myself an ally to the police, as I have very close connections to the local police department. I have never (I don’t think) once said systemic racism does not exist. Living adjacent to the largest reserve in Canada I see it regularly. I don’t believe presenting facts make one a “racism denier” but I’ve seen others feel differently.
