People keep asking me my opinion of “Black lives”. Well, “Black lives” mean everything to me. My wife is black, and we have 6 beautiful children together.
My parents raised me to treat people how I want to be treated, regardless of who they are, where they are from, what their skin color is, what religion they are, etc.
I feel very lucky my parents raised me to be inclusive of people, of all people, because if they would have raised me any other way, I might have missed out on being with my soulmate and getting to be the father of our amazing kids we have together.
I believe all lives matter, and if the Black Lives Matter movement helps call attention to injustices in the world, then I am definitely a supporter.
Sincerely,
Michael “MJ The Terrible” Johnson
