I've made mistakes in the past. Those of which I will not go into detail here (or anywhere anytime for that matter). Mistakes which were made out of anger, frustration, and especially ignorance. Though I have not and never walked the path of the neo-nazi or white nationalist I still made subtle mistakes which, at the time, I did not now how repulsive and ignorant my comments and actions were. I have grown but I still make some unconscious mistakes. I am sorry.
Since George Floyd was murdered, I have seen this country grow with a reckoning never seen before. People are tired, angry, frustrated, and exhausted. One segment of the population was complaining about the riots and statues being torn down not understanding or even trying to comprehend the frustration and anger that was at play. This country is going through its own cultural revolution of sorts. A revolution that is long overdue. If we are to honor the values and the legacy our forefathers set forth in the documents we hold so dear then we must make sure that we mean it when we say ALL lives matter. Until then, ALL lives won't matter until #BlackLivesMatter.
