I am a bit tired of the black and white thing everyday. But, after watching that I will break my own rule. As a white man, I find Mr. Blank to be a hero, even tho he doesn’t take credit for it. I could go on, but saying thank you Sir for a great job will cover it. You are a real man. So said mom was lost in the fire. She was brave too. Bless them all.

There really isn't a huge black/white thing. It 8s in the eyes 9f the politicians - it is an election year and everyone wants the Black vote. So losing Democrats will do anything including starting race wars to get Trump out if office.

1:44 Trump started the race war with his racist campaign rhetoric and he continues to race bait and fan the flames. Open your ears...blacks as a whole do not like Trump. There's an exception here or there but the majority find him to racist and Xenophobic. Continuing to ignore or make excuses for his words holds no weight with them. It starts from the top. Stop holding athletes and entertainers to a standard you don't hold Trump to. Words matter. What he says matters. What he does matters. Republicans will not get the black vote as long as the candidate and his supporters are racists. FACTS

Northwest Woodsman: Did he dance around and slam the kid to the ground or is that only on the football field?
