You can't solve our Race War Problems by ignoring the subject. Take Heed.

Even in Connecticut People need to know what the root causes of the problems confronting us are.

It is not truly about Race, and/or Ethnicity at all, so much as it is about Attitudes and Ideologies in conflict with our Laws, our Constitution, and our American Way of Life.

As in: Truth, Justice and ... The American Way. What the current trend in BLM Race War Anarchists want to tear down and REPLACE US, with What?

That includes the currently prevailing notion promoting the acceptance of White Race Mulatto Genocide, that WE don't want to see allowed to happen.

In that regard, solving the Race War here is as simple as doing laundry: just separate the Whites from the Coloreds.

If you feel that this is a prejudicial remark. It is not. It is a statement of Racial Preservation. Termed by, "The White Race Preservation Committee."

Also coinciding with The War On Drugs/Heroin Trafficking emanating from the Black/People of Color and Ethnic Communities here to be PUT AN END TO.

It's all Psyche 101. Let's be friends. I wish you well. Take It On!

WE Are Concerned Over the Hate-Filled; Burning, Looting, Killing, and Mass-Destruction Of “The Black-Lives Matter” Group; That EXISTS ON FALSE NARRATIVES, WITH DESIRES TO OVERTHROW OUR AMERICA, and To Alter Our Laws and Our U.S. Constitution to suit Their Own Third-World Agendas; AS (BLM) USES THEIR VILE ATTEMPTS TO MAKE CITIZENS FEEL "GUILTY" FOR THINGS THEY HAVE NEVER DONE!! And TO SUPPORT THEIR KILLINGS, VIOLENCE, BLACK RACISM, AND PURE HATRED, AGAINST WHITE AMERICA, WE-THE-PEOPLE WILL NOW RESPOND! OBLIGATED AS WE ARE TO PRESERVE & PROTECT AMERICA FROM ALL ENEMIES, WHO ARE NOW TRAITORS OF AMERICA.

America Is Not A Racist Nation, and OUR Christian American WAY-OF-LIFE has admitted and accepted All the Peoples of Earth to come and live at peace here among us. Blacks commit 5 times more violent crimes per capita than the rest of society. So, of course, Blacks are incarcerated more. And 80% of the Blacks who are killed by police are killed by Black police. Less than one in 10,000 arrests involve use of force by police.... usually when the perp resists arrest or attacks the police. Therefore, while there might be some anecdotal incidents against Blacks; systemic racism, systemic police brutality, and Black profiling are fake news... made up to incite riots and cause division by race for political gain. Without at least 80% of Blacks/Hispanics voting for Democrats, there is no Democrat party. So, liberals rub race raw with exaggerations and spin to cause division by race.

People can protest their Grievances all they want to, just DO NOT destroy what other people have worked so hard for with their sweat, tears and blood to create. "Stay Woke" here as our Former Slaves who were freed and who now live appreciatively among us in Peace. And be grateful that you have a decent home upon the Earth to Reside In and do not have to live in misery in Africa in Countries like the Congo or South Sudan. If you are having difficulties: Do look to your own Failings of: Underage Pregnancies, Inbreeding, Excessively Large Fatherless Families, Cultural Overpopulation Subsidized by the Welfare Dole; Lack of Proper Diet, Upbringing, and Proper Schooling, Loss of Employment Opportunities, compounded by the Ingrained White Hating Racial Divide; of Mass Cultural Heroin Drugs Trafficking Addictions, and Drug-Chemical Warfare Tactics, Murder/Violence, White Slavery Prostitution, and in Backlash Cross Breeding Animosities Being Perpetrated Upon the White Race. If you find yourselves being Ostracized you have No One Else To Blame.

Tell Gary Koniz thank you.
