[@ryanb7013]

Last Friday night I was standing outside of a barbershop in Cincinnati, and not like it matters, I was with a small group of mostly black men, when this officer walked over to a group of us. He looked around curiously and said “I don’t see a car blocking an intersection” while shaking his head. I asked him what was he talking about. He said someone called and reported that we had a car blocking the intersection. He paused for a minute and shook his head again. In that moment we both nodded and acknowledged what had just happened. Someone basically saw our group and made a false report. I asked him how long he had been on the job and he said 10 months. He asked what we were doing at the barbershop and so told him about the barbershop challenge Men of Courage and Ford Fund has sponsored. I asked if he wanted to come inside. He said he wanted to, but didn’t want to spoil the fun with his presence. Again we both nodded and acknowledged the reality of distrust between the community and police officers. I offered to take him inside so he could meet the owners and establish a relationship. I told him that someone has to take the first step to healing these relationships. He said he wanted to, but was unsure of what the reaction would be. I told him it would be cool and that Jerome Bettis and a host of other amazing people were inside. He lit up like a lightbulb and said “No way The Bus is in there”, with a kid like smile. I said hold on, I’ll grab him and have him come out. Jerome Bettis came out and the officer stood there with his mouth agape before saying “if my dad was still alive he would be so excited, because you were his favorite player”. We all stopped and sat in the moment before they went on to take a selfie together. It was one of those moments that reminded me of our humaneness, our frailties and our similarities. In that moment we were all just men navigating the world without the mask we are taught and trained to wear. I could have taken my offense to the call out on the officer and accused him of being a racist cop. He could have believed the caller and acted based on stereotypes about black men in groups. But we chose to just see each other and talk like humans. It’s ultimately a decision we can all make. When he lit up like a kid at seeing his dad’s sports hero, I saw a little boy and the uniform no longer mattered. We can collectively choose to see beyond the uniforms we all wear and see beyond the color of our skin. It’s not easy and there is a lot of work to be done, but if we can at least start seeing each other, I believe things will get better but not if society continues to buy into the false narratives that mainstream media uses to divide us. I pray people wake up and see who our real enemy is.

By that time, fifty years ago was the approximate time of the civil rights march. I responded to him that "racism has always been wrong." That was the end of the conversation.

@jka ville: WTF are you talking about?¿ Tim Scott is a, largely, weak-willed fool. I can't denounce him entirely; Van Jones is right - speaking openly about racial profiling as a politician trying to be reelected in an overtly conservative district puts him in an uncomfortable position. But, giving Biden no credit for anything and blaming him for all of this tribal polarization is ignorant and completely at odds with reality. Tim Scott is, almost entirely, doing what is most likely to get him reelected. He is not doing what is best for America. And, obviously, one thing that they avoided talking about, as they always do, is that religious trash - a cancerous tumor threatening to destroy all of America.

@@branham7628 I think it was more than that... It's my understanding Harrison had a large early lead on election day. I don't live in SC, but I watched both Graham/Harrison debates and he killed Lady G both times. In fact, some of what Graham said was not only out of touch, it was absolutely disgusting. Jamie said many times during his campaign -- Lindsey represented the mindset of the "Old South" and that's what the old and aging white voters want to cling to. Lady Lindsey played into their fears. Besides that, SC already has a black senator. No way in Hell would the good old boys (and girls) allow a second one! No doubt Graham had outside of the state money pouring in as well, with alot of it given "under the table."
