With two political conventions back to back and right around the corner, will our nation accept division as a norm, or reject it once and for all. Let's keep our great country and not turn it over to haters, financial opportunists, or mad money grubbers.
Following last weeks killing of black men and the ambush of white police officers, Americans must now make an effort to get along and learn tolerance and accept our difference and embrace races.
USA is about standing up for what you believe in, working harder to see it happen and making America greater.

When I became a journalist, only professional broadcasters had the capability to "go live" from anywhere. This week, all of us traveling the information superhighway shared in horror as Diamond Reynolds transmitted live from the front seat of her car while her partner, Philando Castile, was slowly dying beside her. The next day, citizen journalists streamed images of police officers under attack from a sniper.
Demonstrators are now live-streaming their marches. And in a few days, the world will watch two conventions surrounded by discontent, increasing tensions and protests in states with open carry laws.
For the past couple of years, a series of recorded video clips have been posted on social media shaping the national conversation about the use deadly force. The videos sparked protest, occasional violence and, importantly, new public safety procedures. But now, these videos are not recordings, they're transmitted live and raw directly from the scene.
It would be smart for the new breed of citizen journalists and for that matter, just about anyone who may be considering using this new technology to first do some soul searching and think about the responsibility of your actions before going live.
This time, the whole world may be watching your live streaming sessions.

Public safety may not be as important as one would think in Louisiana. The southeastern U.S. state on the Gulf of Mexico has a history as a melting pot of French, African and American cultures.
