What happens when 2 kids that play football have a game on Patriots Day and carry out a flag with a blue line and a flag with a red line supporting Police and Firefighters?? Here is what happened, they got kicked off the team and banned to play in the league. Why? Because they showed support for the “opposing” side. Our streets may be overrun by children and pseudo-intellectuals rioting and looting, but we, me, I the silent majority has something to say about this. I teach my children to have honor, integrity and most of all respect. I teach them to fight for what they feel is right, but do it with honor, integrity and respect. I do not know these 2 boys that carried these flags on the field, but I am willing to bet that if we asked them they would be in support of All Lives Matter. I bet these boys are not racist at all regardless of what the new narrative is telling all white people that they are. We have highly paid athletes protesting before the start of every game. We have celebrities of all shapes and sizes coming out to support BLM. Politicians use it as talking points and you all eat that up, but 2 children standing up for what they think is right get punished.
I am so angry about this I want to scream and call you names. I want you to feel as degraded as you made these children feel, but I am not. I am going to sit here and type this with my fingers shaking with anger and try hard to find the words that will inspire you to make a change. You are so desperate with being on the right side of history, I can see that. I can see that you want your name on the right side of the page when they open up the history books. You are so desperate that you are willing to compromise the very fabric of this country. I bet when I say that your mind automatically jumps to the constitution. I bet you already have come up with 10 maybe 20 counter-arguments for me, but I’m talking about our children- not the constitution. How we raise our children determines our future, don’t you know that? Oh that’s right, the institution of family has been shredded to pieces. When was the last time any of you sat down for family dinner? We all have great relationships with our kids though, don’t we?
When we encourage our children to ask questions we are helping them develop critical cognitive skills. We teach them to make decisions and stand by them. We tell them that sometimes they are going to make bad decisions, hopefully more good then bad though. We set the age at 18 years old for adulthood. At that point their decisions are theirs we can only help guide them, but when they are young they can take more chances because they are still under our protection. Wait, we encourage our children to ask questions, we encourage them to be free thinkers– that is B.S. Right? These days we teach them to follow, to not rock the boat, that if someone calls you a racist apologize again and again. We punish those that don’t follow the “norm”. If they can’t think we can control- once we have total control they will be ours. You think slavery was bad back in the day– LOL that is nothing compared to what they have in mind. Don’t you see you are just a puppet?
You want to help, I know. You want to say you stood up for justice just like your mother and father did before you. The struggle is real and you weren’t born last time we went through the struggle, but you went to college, you have a black friend, you are saying NOT ON MY WATCH!! I hear you! Here is where you run into the problem, you condone the rioting and looting. You argue with those that don’t share your view point and you think all white people have white privilege. Here is the biggest problem you have- you have shut down the free thinking of our children. You have just taught them that thinking for yourself and going against the norm will get you punished.
I guess it’s true then, you keep us dumb you will be able to control us. Luckily for you, they call me the Puerto Rican Pied Piper of sorts. I don’t go against the norm, but I will stick up for what is right no matter the consequences to myself. Our country is in jeopardy right now- we are literally battling for the soul of this country. Right now the injustice is taking away these boys rights. They are American and as all American’s protected under the Constitution of the United States. I don’t care if you agree with them or not, but what you need to do is apologize and reinstate these boys immediately. I’m not a church going boy, but I think it says do unto others as you want them to do to you or something- do that. Teach our children that its ok to be different. Its ok to have a different opinion then the norm. As long as you do it with honor, integrity and respect I will back you up. Our children need us to show them the way. WE need to be the example for them to follow. I understand, you are human, you made a mistake- I’m not even mad at you anymore- I just want you to do the right thing and apologize to these boys.
This is exactly what I am talking about educating our youth. We spend billions of dollars on defense, billions to other countries and spend almost nothing on our children. How can we expect to be the strongest if we do not invest in our country. We have celebrities coming together to raise millions of dollars for a cause in another country, but I have never seen them once do that for our country. I feel the United States has become The Giving Tree. Everyone is taking, but not enough of us are giving back. How do we have so much pride when we have the lowest test scores and horrible medical care? Just take a look at our inner cities. I don’t care which one just look. How many killings are happening daily there? What about our infrastructure? How can we make strong citizens when we have people drinking dirty water or natural gas is coming out of the faucets? Investing in our country will only make us stronger and better.
I urge you to take a minute before jumping on the latest trend. Being angry is the easiest thing in the world, but to be happy is a bit more challenging. LOVE is the way my friends. I’m not talking about a utopia society, I am just talking about a more loving one. I definitely don’t want a every one wins society I just want to be normal again. We need to encourage the family structure and that doesn’t just mean man and wife- lets just say human to human marriage is fine with me as long as its done in a loving way.
I am always here to talk.
