Now, I'm not going to call anyone names, but I'm wondering why people just say "some guy killed so-and-so" when a white person murders someone, but if a black guy killed someone, the fact he was black is somehow related to the crime...and you must think it's important otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up.
I mean, you never hear people say things like "this
white person killed a bunch of people up at yosemite." White people commit crimes too...yes, I know, statistically more black people commit crimes than white people, but isn't it interesting that, regardless of race, poor people tend to commit more crimes.
So, are more black people committing crimes than white people because more black people are poor? Or are you going to say that black people are poor because they're obviously inferior to whites? That's basically what you're saying here...you're saying that they are more criminal and even their politicians are more corrupt. You've basically said that only black people would ever attack the passengers of a van that hit their home.
Black politicians are corrupt? I think it would be better to say that politicians are corrupt. Trafficant isn't black, and he's been found guilty on 9 accounts of fraud. Condit may or may not have been responsible for the death of his intern. The only congressman kicked out of congress since the civil war was also white.
You also said "America is turning into Arabia", although I could think of a better way of putting it...maybe you meant something like Iraq, or Afghanistan under Taliban rule.
If that is what you mean, then I'm inclined to agree with you, since those places are known for being very prejudiced, and I certainly am seeing the same unbiased prejudicism those places are known for, the only difference being that the prejudicism I'm seeing in the US is directed towards its own citizens.
No more compassion for human life"
you said.
think I have a pretty good idea which race was involved with this lynching.
you said.
I'm getting a mixed message here...america is loosing its compassion for human life, and then you go on to imply some fairly negative things about a sizable percentage of america. Or do you not consider them to be americans?
If I've gotten the wrong idea about what you're saying, then feel free to correct you. I wouldn't want to be comepletely brainwashed and just automatically cry "racist!" whenever anyone mentions race...I'm just wondering what exactly you're saying.
