With all due respect, LL Cool J cannot apologize for the actions of others, neither can Brad Paisley.
If people are ever going to come together, then some things are going to need to be laid to rest in the past where they belong.
I understand that. But this is that “discussion” we always hear about us needing to have. By that they mean, white America must hear this endless wailing and list of grievances.
If there is to be a “discussion” on race, it needs to also address the fact that violent crime is utterly epidemic on the black side, and that whites are not racist for generally avoiding contact, or large gatherings of young blacks. They are being sane and avoiding being attacked.
This is a modern phenomenon, and this violent young uneducated urban culture, has amost nothing in common with black America up until the early 60s.
If the problem cannot be discussed, it cannot be fixed.
