But on a big picture scale there is no way there going to be a race war over this. Here in Philadelphia everyone is just going about their lives all mixed together with no animosity. I think perhaps that because we are engaged on the issue we tend to think everyone is when in fact most people don't care at all, let alone enough to race war over it. There might be some trouble in Sanford but there will be no nationwide rioting/race warring or whatever over it. People have enough on their plate just keeping a roof over their heads and feeding their families. People tend to focus on their own immediate problems and let the rest of the world do its own spinning.
