The BLM Narrative treats Black men like second grade children

One of the things I learned as a supervisor is that events significant enough to be brought to my attention were rarely simple.

When an employee came into the office and stamped his feet demanding that something be done about some horrible environmental condition, careful research usually implicated the complainer was violating many "shop rules". He was someplace he was not supposed to be, or doing something he was not supposed to be doing.

Many years of being a supervisor taught me to not go off half-cocked. Otherwise I would become a blunt instrument the "players" would use to bludgeon people they disliked.

There is great virtue in forming one's own opinions...and then not sharing them.

Somebody who loves me a great deal sent me an essay they had snipped from social media. It was from the sister of a friend.

The writer of the essay was a married Black woman.

Every day she said "Good-bye" to Reggie, praying it would not be the last time. Not that Reggie was a bad man. It was just that when he had an opinion, he didn't care who you were, you were going to hear exactly what he thought of you.

She had decided to not have children because she could not endure having her boy killed by the police.

Bear with me as I deconstruct those two, short paragraphs.

"...when he had an opinion, he didn't care who you were..."  BULLSHIT! Reggie learned in third-grade that mouthing off to somebody bigger than you gets you punched in the nose. Even if you are the biggest kid in third-grade, what happens when the other kid brings his brother or two of his buddies?

The fact that he still has a job indicates he knows how to keep his mouth shut when appropriate.

If he is not considerate of your feelings or does not use the kinds of words you prefer he use, it is because he does not respect you, not because he cannot control himself.  And why does he not respect you? Because you don't respect yourself enough to demand that he act like an adult when he is around you. Why would he respect you more than you respect yourself?

"...not have children..." Is it genocide if you are committing demographic suicide? The end result is the same. I just want to know because if you choose to not have children because of your SJW sensitivity, then you are complicit in the genocide of your own race.

The fact that you automatically assume your husband is incapable of exercising  agency (i.e., you assume he is incapable of knowing when to keep his mouth shut) means you are an enabler. You are partially responsible for creating the child with no impulse control.

As James noted two-thousand years ago:

When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

So rather than railing on the police, consider demanding that your husband not use Rap music vocabulary when around you. He should treat you with more respect than he treats his boss at work. He might have a dozen bosses throughout his work-life. God willing, you are his only wife.

And when you have children, tell them you will not allow Rap music or street language in your home. If they want to test you, fine. Drop them off at the homeless shelter. They always have an extra mattress. Oh, and turn off their phone just after you drop them off.

Second act
In supervising, there is often a second act to the play. More information comes to light.

"I DO treat my Reggie like an adult and he does know how to keep his mouth shut. But sometimes he responsibly enjoys undocumented pharmaceuticals and he is less....regulated."

Putting on my supervisor hat: So he is driving a car while "less regulated" and is stopped by a cop for some infraction of traffic law and you (rightfully) are concerned that he will escalate the encounter to where it becomes lethal for somebody, probably him.

Why are you are not worried about road-rage? He might end up dead. Another driver might end up dead. Is your SJW hand-wringing self-delusion? If you can perseverate on the cops so you are distracted from dealing with the realities you actually have some control over? People are funny. They polish crystal goblets while the boat is sinking.
