The first group constitutes the overwhelming majority but when a grievance becomes significant enough, their voice is muted as a minority yelling can drown out the majority speaking softly. Baltimore is an example of this...we should condemn the violence but understand the underlying grievance. Perception becomes reality and only knowledge and understanding can change perception.

Sounds like politicians and our business "leaders" that are selling out our future generations to line their own pockets now.
