1/2 of a century, to the point of being called an N-lover in both high school and college. In every situation where there was racial mix (school, jobs and neighborhoods), I have reached out to blacks to lead by example rather than just rhetoric. It has cost me friends over the years.

I have had enough of the violence, the looting, the arson and the shootings. If responsible leadership is involved, then the protests should be called off for a few days to cool down the more vocal of the agitators and restore some sense to the movement.
