“how quickly the race card is pulled”

And Scott looked like the REAL racist this time. He basically accused the white questioner of not being one of his constituents (because he wasn’t black) Of course, the AJC fails to mention that this man did, indeed, live in Scotts district. Scott is an unapologetic racist who owes this man an apology.

Notice the similarity between this encounter and the recent hullabaloo over the professor and the cop. They cry racism, and sure enough when you investigate the event properly it turns out to be pure racism, but in the reverse of what they would have you believe! It's black on white racism, and it's getting more and more common every day. My grandson who lives with us and is dependent on me for transportation works for a local Radio Shack store. The store he works at is in a predominantly black area of town. Often I will be pulling into the parking area from the busy street and a person or persons will be crossing my path. I always stop, smile and wave them across. I know it sounds paranoid, but I swear you can feel the hatred in their attitude. The look, the failure to even acknowledge you're there, let alone you've given them the right-of-way and the very slow pace they use in getting across. Maybe I'm projecting or something, but I know when someone does that for me at my local shopping spot I always smile and thank them, and them make an obvious effort to step it up and get across.

I don't think we've even begun to understand the hatred and distrust that a lot of blacks harbor against the rest of us. To a degree they are like Arabs in that they are raised from day one to hate and to blame their problems on someone else.

Please don't misunderstand this, I work with and go to church with and party with blacks and have for years. The vast majority of them haven't a racist bone in their body. But there is that minority that is just the opposite. Even the overall number is quite small they are going to be a force to be reckoned with as the economy continues to slide and government has a harder and harder time keeping its commitments.

This is a difficult thing for me to express and put in words. I try my best to subscribe to the “content of character not, the color of the skin” outlook on life and treating those I encounter.
