Least Popular Opinion
This latest podcast about racism and George Floyd had me tearing up. I really do like what you represent and the information you put out there. What happened to George Floyd was truly an evil. Black lives matter, too. Though I don’t agree with everything presented in this episode. Before I continue with my why, I will say that I grew up similar. When I was 4yrs old I learned to keep quiet and hide out of fear that my strung out dad would beat the the ever living crap out of me. Thankfully my parents divorced, though we had to live in the only place my single mom could afford. I too grew up with cockroaches all over, snakes crawling out the walls, and brown recluses in the basement and just 2 doors down from a meth lab that almost once a month the local police would tape off our driveway for. I’ve also been followed home by the police after dropping a friend off at their house. When I was in school, 70% of the time on our walk home from the bus we would have things thrown at us from cars passing by. Once we actually had unmarked cans full of food thrown at us, what if they’d hit us? As a kid that crap is terrifying. So I totally get it. I understand the kind of cage that is, how impossible it is to get out of being put into that position. But I stood up. I stopped blaming everyone else and took responsibility for the quality of my life. At 22yrs old I finally got hired for a good warehouse position. I worked my butt off and left my old life behind. I saved up enough to even move away for schooling to go into even better careers. So I get it. Just recently I left an interview feeling pretty good about myself only to overhear them discussing how my skin color would just add drama to the staff already present. You know what’s funny? I’m a white woman. That staff was all black. Every thing I have and all I’ve worked for is brushed off as white privilege. It’s less novel and less important now isn’t it? My least popular opinion is that only forcing white people to change their view on racism won’t solve the problem one bit. Every single ethnicity needs to work on their views. Even the blacks themselves. Just because I’m white does not mean I grew up like one. It does not mean that I don’t understand how hard the black community has had it.

In an ever changing and confusing political world it is great to have some well informed presenters that can provide clarity and factual information surrounding the gun industry and the gun community. Keep up the good work!

I get bored with most of the other 2A podcasts. I think this is great because their YouTube channel is great so you can put a face with the voice and get a variety of info 👍
