That's a lot of text, but I fail to see your point. Is there one?

In keeping with the spirit of the author; freedom is not a goal, but a direction. And broadly speaking, we're moving in the right direction.

Unfortunately, you sound like you've become somewhat of a zealot. A byproduct of being spoon fed rage via the nightly media /twitter cycle.

Statistically there's one specific group of peoples that drive a disproportionate amount of violent crime. Specifically murder, rape, robbery, and assault.

Raw data is here: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-...

I think stepping back and realizing how far we've come, not only as a country but also globally is worth recognizing. Harboring venom from past wrongs won't do you any good; if anything it appears to be obfuscating the present.

We literally have folks in office that called a violent insurrection during a peaceful transition of power following a democratic election "just tourists".

And that's not counting the elected officials who actively abetted the insurrection.

And most members of their party are pissed at the few who are willing to call it what it was: a violent insurrection attempting to overthrow the democratically-elected government.

I think you overestimate "how far we've come."
