Mature people think. Immature people just emote.

Dan Collins is a white man who is the father of a large multiracial family, eight of his children are white and five of his children are adopted and are black. Collins describes himself as the ” typical Main Street American. ” But, there is nothing typical about being a deep thinker in today’s America.

What has been on Dan’s mind of late is The Black Lives Matter Movement and the organization behind the movement. He is conflicted by the violence and rhetoric associated with the movement and has formulated some very specific questions he needs to be answered. His attempts to have these inquiries receive a response has been frustrating, to say the least. So above is a video where Dan respectively and thoughtfully addresses his concerns and lays out his confusion about just what the mission of BLM truly is.

The Right Wire Report applauds Dan Collin’s critical thinking skills and invites all to sit still and watch this man speak. But before you do engage your critical thinking skills and remember the following:

Those hysterical reactions to claims of systemic racism are emotions, not reasoning.
Those reflective apologies and self-loathing your skin color, as in white privilege, are virtue signaling, not causation.
Those justifications for violence, bigotry, and hatred, in the name of “America’s original sin,” are perpetrating and ignorance, not conflict resolution.

What do you think?

"The simple step of a courageous individual is to not take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world." Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

I was born and raised in the enigma known as "The Big Easy." There, rooted along the banks of the great Mississippi River between the creeping bayou and Lake Pontchartrain, I was conscripted on all things pertaining to human nature. I am the quintessential southern woman, that is to say, I defy most could never accurately define what that label truly represents. Brined below sea level where one respects; the haunts lingering about, the force of storm surge, the ethos of Mardi Gras, and the sanctity of generational family-I know what it is to belong to an organically diverse culture.

Early on in life, my career path serpentined and led to brief stints of living abroad in Europe as I indulged my passions for painting, musical theater, and the culinary arts. My young experiences evolved my purpose and honed my intuitive skills and I became a Medical Professional specializing in mental health with a focus on child/adolescent needs. After living decades in NOLA, and after hurricane Katrina unearthed the realities of modern-day inner cities, I made the pivotal decision to relocate to where my family and I spent our summers in a quest to find security and civility in my life.

High up on one of the "grandfather mountains" I now perch in a Smoky mountain community in East Tennessee. Although, I would not trade my formative years in Louisiana, unfortunately, that era of America is no longer obtainable in the times we live - changing course was the best decision "Evah!"

I am a warrior for freedom and truth , steeped in my ancestral history ,I am constantly reminded that stillness and introspection expands the mind and heart to possess a more nuanced understanding of all things in our internal and external world. We are all destined to bash ourselves against the rotted cultural rocks of humanity's unraveling until we recognize that a shared moral tone is essential for a free society. A healthy culture is one comprised of many unique people who offer shading and depth to the experience of living, yet all choose to accept basic truths that bind us all together-a societal moral tone. Intolerance , censorship, intersectionality, cancel culture, apathy ,and ignorance will only groom oppression and tyranny. Critical thought, differentiation, and dissent is your individual right granted not by government -and must always be protected, championed, and defended.
