There’s a show available for perusal on Netflix and elsewhere called “Booker’s Place.” It gives some terrific insight into race relations in the South as the Civil Rights movement was in full swing. Both black and white, past and present, speak for themselves on the issue. I came away from viewing it with a better understanding as to why blacks view whites with no small amount of suspicion and animosity. It is something we still need to work on.

The first time I was ever physically assaulted for no reason than waving “hello,” it was a black who was force bused into my school. It is hard to live a thing like that down; forgiveness is not a natural inclination by any means. People who fan the flames - like the media who twisted the Trayvon Martin incident - are reprehensible slime. The need the Gene Hackman treatment as demonstrated in the film, Mississippi Burning.

I and a whole slew of other whites don't need to work on s***. It's not my fault black society, as a whole, is littered with illiteracy, illegitimacy, crime, and a general slothfulness. I could care less if a bunch of (insert the name of the victim group dejour) view me with suspicion and animosity.
