I'm actually near Atlanta where some of the looting is. I'm mixed and partly AA, can't say I particularly approve of the violence given how dangerous and destructive it is.
Of course, what originally happened in Minneapolis is not excusable either.
- unrest 6y agoHope everything is ok for yourself, family and friends in your community and neighbourhood. Any idea how it might impact your work and living situation next week?
- BracketMaster 6y agoEverything is fine for me fortunately. The football hall of fame was really hit hard, and the CNN center took some damage from burns. I really don't understand. ATL is the home of MLK(his house is open to walk-in). There is a sizable appreciation for the black community in Atlanta. I am aware that part of the black community in Atlanta, especially black business owners don't identify with CNN. But clearly, it wasn't black business owners burning down CNN. There is another side to the equation. Stone Mountain is also next to Atlanta. Stone Mountain is where the Ku-Klux-Klan(the organization at the heart of racism in the south) was reborn in 1915. Fortunately, I work in software, so not much has impacted my job security :). In fact, I usually spent most of my day in front of a computer writing software, so not much has changed.
