        I like Nick Cannon’s analogy better. It’s a lot more concise and relatable. To paraphrase, when people say, ‘Save the Whales’, they’re not saying fuck all other aquatic life in the ocean. They’re saying that the whales are at risk, so we need to do what we can to protect them.

        I like that you guys are having a calm conversation and not just being mean to each other. It’s refreshing to see in comment sections.

        I don’t think we’ll ever convince each other to come around, but at least respectful dialogue is a positive step forward towards mutual understanding.

        It is lovely. Though pretty much every sailing reference is way off the mark. 28 knots? Wow! I’d vote for that. But, this is not to knock the message. A country, a people are a crew. Pull together; the boat sings. Pull in different directions; she flounders.

        Thank you for translating the complexities of BLM for us whose brains have been ravaged by age and the constant onslaught of subtle discrimination.

        Compare it to taking care of an AR-15, dusty Bible, or pickup truck. Would be better targeted to the intended audience. Need more pictures!

        So, if black on black crime is like shooting a hole in your ship, there's an irreparable hole in the hull?
