    “The appropriate response to horrible language, to a horrible idea is a better idea.” I am ready to fight for this idea. This officer is truly worthy of his stars. The American army can be proud of him. Respect and admiration! From France (EU.)

    Imagine a guy like this as President of the United States of America...

    I still watch this video regularly to remind me the power of this man's words. My parents endured so much racism in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s.. and listening to this man gives me ongoing hope that one day there will be some form of peaceful unity... may not be perfect, but at least let's "talk about it". We need more people like this man around the world. I would love to meet him and say "Thank you" 🙏

    “If you can’t treat someone who is different from you with respect, you need to get out.”
  • This man doesn't need an air force. He could stare his enemies to death.
  • @peacekeepermoe
