No. I work in a hospital with people of all races and backgrounds. Other than the normal, shitty I hate my job mentality you ran across before all the BS started, it’s been low stress.

The agenda driven, blow everything out of proportion media would love for the common American to think we’re on the brink of a full blown race war. But that simply isn’t true.

I actually tell my black friends all the time “Black lives don’t matter” just to mess with them. Obviously only my closest ones, they just tell me to frick off

COVID is not dead, it's just being ignored. Cases are rising in many areas. People are still dying and will continue to die. I assume you read about the 16 friends who went to a pub and all contracted COVID. Fortunately they were mostly asymptomatic or had mild infections but who knows how many others were exposed to them and will contract the virus with symptoms.

Do you choose to stay inside and shelter at home?

Everyone has to live their lives the way they want. If folks choose to go to a bar, then they accept the risk of catching covid-strep-flu-stomach bug.....If folks choose to stay home to protect themselves from strep-covid-flu-stomach bug then that's their choice.

People are dying in car wrecks also. I wrote to my congressmen (person, sorry I assumed gender) to outlaw driving. IMO, if it saves 1 life it's worth it. I apologize if I came across as aggressive. I just donated my life savings to BLM to make up for it.

Not from the few interactions I've had with people since it started.

I don’t think there was any tension reported between whites and blacks, but rather tension between blacks and our government.

I’ve lived in large urban centers for 15 years now, and I have had very few instances of encountering black people that were unfriendly to me.

I work in a hospital. The only people who loudly trumpet CNN opinions and gush over nancy Pelosi and BLM during work hours are... drumroll...

Middle class white women.
