One incident that remains in my mind was when my school bus was stopped by police one morning at a fork in the road. Our route would normally have us going left at the fork but on this day the police had us go right. As our bus made the awkward turn the reason for the detour became visible to me and the other 2 dozen or so students on the bus. It was a black man hanging from one of the climbing hooks used by linemen on a utility pole. The man had been lynched. At that point all the racial hate I had heard about became real.
I'm not sure why I felt compelled to share that with you, perhaps because you said you are from the segregated south. I'm sure you have your stories as well. That was the worst of mine.
I know Mr. Cain has probably experienced a lot of hate in his lifetime directed at him by people who just can't get past race. But to see that he has such a very positive attitude in spite of it speaks volumes as to what kind of man he is. He deserves our support and he has mine.
Guys like Cain who grew up when racism was a real problem see the vast change in race relations in their lifetime that the race-baiters refuse to see because they would have nothing to do if they accepted the truth. Racism was once a problem in the South, and north even though this is ignored, but it’s dramatically different now and everyone knows it. The vast majority of all Americans treat people as individuals, and form their opinion of that person on their character instead of race. Liberals know this, but the race-baiting liberals can’t admit it for political reasons, and some liberal “civil rights” activist have to pretend to have an actual purpose and stay relevant.
