0f course, I'm sure the 12 black attackers would have beat a black



driver just as bad*. That makes the crime better somehow?

Don't go there Mike.







Ya, my minority wife might not like it.



But it is OK if Jesse Jackson goes there.

Jesse Jackson



I understand politically correctness. It sucks.















We all read the news and it's a bad story, but



no one can predict how it might have turned out in different



circumstances. At this point all you can hope for is a good recovery



for the driver and proper justice for the perpetrators.







Agreed.

I am surprised Krause didn't comment on Jesse's racist remark.







I was wondering which of the racist morons here would pile on. You

fellas apparently are not aware that the quote you are attributing to

Jackson isn't one that describes *his* feelings, but one used to

describe how he thinks "white people" feel when they hear footsteps

behind them.



Right-wing media outlets have bandied about that quote for decades, and

out of context, of course.



Next?

Bull****. The entire quote is:

"We must face the No. 1 critical issue of our day. It is youth crime in general and black-on-black crime in particular. There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved. After all we have been through, just to think we can't walk down our own streets, how humiliating."

Seriously harry, have you ever thought of writing and publishing a book of fictional short stories? You sure write enough of it here. Hell man, if it sold well you could pay off all those debts and taxes!
