Am I the only one shocked at how many DUers still don't "get it?"

165. I know the world youre talking about

I have many friends who have dealt with it. You say youve read my posts, so you saw where I mentioned telling some dont give a cop an excuse. Because they will take advantage of it. And with white people too. They're worse now days than ever. I have a couple rental houses in a mostly black neighborhood and I have been pulled over for the non-existant traffic violation a few times. Had 3 cars eventually show up once. Had the dog "alert" to my car (bullshit). Had to stand there while they searched the car, etc. You know the drill. I was out of place in that area, so I MUST have been doing something wrong. There are plenty of white people who get railroaded too. I have an atty friend who represents some of them. Whites were lynched back in the old days, too. About a third the number of blacks that were. Read the Tuskeegee Institute study about it.
But to say there are no black racists, come on now. ? And I dont think Martin was one. A race doesnt have to be in charge to have racists in their midst. And in a lot of major cities, it is the blacks who are in power, not whites. Those who speak loudly about "white devils"? Or the Jews? And not just Farrakhan, he's the easy mark. If you read a statement and all you have to do is replace "white" with "black" and its racist, then it was racist to begin with. Read some of the speeches given by some of the black panthers, among others.
But the fact that we (you and i ) talk at all shows that things ARE different from 100 yrs ago. The election of Obama couldnt have happened without millions of white votes. Twice. Theres much work to do, but slowly things have changed. Peace to you today.
