“War” is too strong a word to use in regard to race relations.
Despite continuing income inequality or how often the justice system seems to lack fairness when applied to nonwhites, few Americans would say that whites are waging a war on people of color.
Even as Ferguson, Missouri, smolders after the shooting of a black teenager in a majority African-American town overseen by an almost all-white political leadership, “war” is too hyperbolic a statement. Bias, discrimination and neglect, certainly — but not war.
This obvious fact is why, in the days before Ferguson erupted, the contention of a member of Congress — Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala. — that there is a “war on whites” was roundly laughed off.

All this inflamatory reporting of confrontations between black youths and authority is ruthlessly designed to keeping the black segment of Obama’s political support riled up so that any thought of instituting a richly deserved impeachment proceeding goes nowhere.
That is what this is all about as the so called political opposition plays their game.
It may be that, but one of the ways to identify the evil side is by skin color.
A Denver radio host gave statistics yesterday afternoon.
One I remember, when adjusted for population, whites are 200 times as likely to be assaulted by a Black than a Black by a White person.
