People of color have every reason to be suspicious of cops.


Harry's contribution to the social/intellectual progress of
multiracial respect and understanding.

I know enough about the social history of this country to understand
why people of color are suspicious of cops, and how and why the
elected leaders of your chosen political party are using racism on a
daily basis to keep this country as divided as possible. Yours is the
political party of southern white bigots. Anti-black racism, when it
isn't being discussed openly, is bubbling there right below the surface.

Ask Glenn Beck...your boy Herring's hero. He's dripping racism, and
his ratings on Fox News are rising...because he is selling your
boys...your white Republican males...what they want to hear.

I don't think you are a racist, but I do think you have your head in
the sand on this issue. Spend an hour or two reading freerepublic.com
and you will find your conservative republican base at its basest. Dig
deep into the birther issues, and you'll find it has nothing to do
with where Obama was born, and everything to do with his skin color.


I am rapidly approaching 60 years old and have a quite full bucket of
life experience. That adult experience started with almost 9 years in
the military service, entered into at a time when race relations were
not what they are today. Trust me. That was a crash course in the
racial disharmony that existed in the 60's.

I agree, as would anyone with half a brain, that there's still progress
to be made and racism still exists.
But we need to be careful that in the altruistic desire to achieve
perfect equality, respect and color blindness that people like you don't
have *your* heads so buried in the sand that you can't recognize and
appreciate the progress than has been made and therefore assume any
event involving a minority or person of color is representative of racism.

BTW, you are certainly a bit narrow in your thinking as well. Despite
your assumptions and repeated accusations, I am not a "Republican". Not
a "Democrat" either. I've pointed this out to you many times since you
decided I am not a big Obama fan in some things, yet you seem to think
that automatically makes me "one of them".

You like Palin more than I do.

I've never stated or intimated progress was not being made. It is.

For the reasons I have stated, that she will lead the GOP to more
defeats, I do like Palin. I wish her every success in staying prominent
in the GOP...

She's so mavericky! She loves Alaska and wants so much to do right by
Alaska that she quit. Dang that's mavericky!

I wish her every success too. She and Glenn Beck would make one hell
of a Fox & Friends Replacement team. We'd have cities burnin' before
you know it!
