You know, I thought for a while that we were getting over our racial issues as a nation. As a caucasian, I don’t care what color another person is. I address them as fellow human beings on an equal plain. This election has shown in living color (no pun intended) that racial harmony will never be possible because some folks love the attention that controversy brings more than they do peace among the races.

I am old enough to remember when all the racists lived only in Alabama.

I guess that was the good ole days, huh?

As long as whites exist, there will be racism. Not because whites are pining for the good old days of Jim Crow, no, but for the simple reason we are the excuse many need for failure.

Decades of failure to embrace the chances their parents and grandparents won for them with blood and sweat, decades of blaming whitey when they refused to accept that they have a place beside every other man and woman who chooses to stand on their own two feet.

Whites are scapegoats for nearly every social and economic ill, it's easier than taking a look in the mirror and accepting responsibility for your own shortcomings then doing something about it.

We were. But there's no money to be made in racial harmony, so things had to get stirred up again for a new generation.

Ditto. But therein lies the problem, my FRiend. The liberals see all of us getting along and think, “Hey, wait a minute! If they all can live and work together, who is going to be my victim constituency that I can make beholden to me? Who will be around to owe me for looking out for them and granting special treatment?”

It’s that kind of thinking that explains why the liberals want to maintain an underclass that will consistently vote for them. Now, that so many blacks have moved out of poverty — despite the best efforts of the liberals — they look to other “put-upon” minorities, such as illegals. So they stir the pot and try to keep tension among various groups divided by race, national origin, etc.
