Growing up I was taught to be loving and accepting of anyone and everyone. The golden rule was always applied in my house, treat others how you wish to be treated. Seeing the division of people, especially on social media I cannot put into words the pain it causes myself to see that people who are our age have been so miseducated that they cannot understand what's going on today. They do not have the sympathy for the people and children who have been unrightfully killed, they have sympathy for the people who have taken their lives from them and their family. They don't understand that it isn't one group of people being put higher than the other, but instead uniting as a whole to stop the wrongful deaths of these innocent people. I'm not saying that there shouldn't be sympathy for the officers who have been killed (more recently in the Dallas shooting), but these men and women take an oath to protect and serve the people. They sign up and willingly put their life on the line for the people, they know everyday they go to work that it could be the day that they don't come home. African Americans don't sign up for that, they have to live everyday in fear of the people who are supposed to protect and serve them. They also know everyday that they leave their house that they might not return, but that's not something they sign up for. That's something they're born into, due to the color of their skin. It's a tragedy to see that this is our turn, we are feeling the effects of this now. we are no longer the kids to stand behind our parents and ask them about what's happening because it's happening to us and we are seeing the first had effects of this. Our parents have fed all of us so much of what they believe that we don't know what's morally right and wrong. We can't find our own beliefs and we can't say for ourselves what we believe in our own. It's always been what we have grown up around. Our generation doesn't want to educate ourselves, we just go on who has already taught us and what we have already learned. I cannot begin to wonder how it got this far of miseducation and enabling ignorance among the youth, we are the latest and greatest and we are supposed to carry this country forward but we cannot do this with how divided the past generations have made us. We can justify the murder of one man due to his race and the occupation of his killer, yet we cannot begin to comprehend the death of said killer. However, had it been the murder of one man at the hands of another of the same standing, the death penalty is one of the first sentencing options. How did we get to justifying the murder of innocent people? Where in point did our morals just become completely flipped?
