Throughout the years I have seen people do atrocious things to others based on racial and religious ethnic strife. We love to pride ourselves on the ability to be a first world nation and we have all the makings to be great. Potentiality can turn into realized existence. One of the biggest detractors to human capital development is disparate treatment within our institutions.
For example if a local college tells someone they are highly qualified and then retracts it based on good old boy networks, racial, and religious perspectives that should be illegal.
Likewise, if someone coordinates hate against someone using a large group of ex sports players that should also be illegal.
Furthermore, if law enforcement members of their social group engage in corrupt practices in support of their friends that should also be illegal (especially if there are multiple uninvestigated community complaints).
The problem is that as common men and women we have little protection against these violations of morality and law (The Bill of Rights and Constitution must be enforced.). We know may behaviors are wrong and even if we are the most reasonable person in the room (i.e. mandatory mental health, audit of missing money, and ensuring such corrupt practices don't continue forward) our reasonableness is put on the backburner.
We know that much of society is unhappy that the rules apply differently to different people. We know that to be our best we have to integrate into one society. Our institutions should be protected from right or left wing extremist but also from heuristic blindness that creates long term risks to others. I have great faith our justice system will, or has, begun to develop to help us build the next great American society.
Instead of getting upset let us reach our hands out and encourage them to develop more universal approaches. There is no such thing as a free pass, as they only shift, and in turn become opportunities of transition. We will need all of America engaging in growth and development and we can't do that with misaligned values. Blending moral conscious, wisdom, and law together is our best approach forward (or we can step back 100 years but I always prefer going forward to new possibilities).
Let us keep our fingers crossed. As with many proactive approaches we must believe in a better way forward. 🤷
