Speak Out March 21

I see here that Cole says that he was raised to answer his elders “yes sir,” and “no ma’am,” and that’s all he was doing. You know, he could follow the law. He was raised to follow the law, too, I assume. You know, when he was asked these questions he could have said, “It’s a violation of the law for me to answer “yes sir” or “no sir” I ain’t gonna answer you.

Yeah, this is Raymond trying to speak what’s on my mind if I’m allowed to. I’d like to say that America keeps thinking that what happened back in slavery doesn’t exist today but I have news for you.  It’s always in the news today about bigotry and prejudice facts and horrible things that are being said should be mentioned in order to get past it. You keep saying and insinuating that what happened back in slavery is in the past but the future is here now and it still exists.
