On the other hand, I'm from the South and I do like most blacks I've met. I have Southern friends who are not biggots. I envy black people their strong faith, especially in light of the plight many have in life.

There isn't room here to get into what affect the family dynamic has had on tearing apart black families, and I think they need more Bill Cosby's and fewer Jackson's who will tell them the truth instead of what they like to hear

What I dislike is bigotry of any kind... or people who feel sorry for themselves instead of trying to get an education to pull themselves up by the bootstraps. Sometimes you need to throw a cold glass of water on the situation and tell people to wake up and do something to help themselves... and that is my complaint. I don't think some of the whites would look at them in disgust and call them names if they saw people really trying to help themselves instead of giving up.

So flame away at me as well, but we all have it tough at times in our lives, it's what we make of it that builds character and self-respect. Looting doesn't build self-respect (IMHO)

Oh,for sure,nothing personal intended toward you.
My beef with MANY Southern-and Northern-whites is not that they hate and disparage the little thugs and gangstas out there.Hey,those types are anathema to any decent citizen.
I ran into way too many who simply did not care for darker skinned people except at the servant level.Thats wrong by anyone's defintion of human decency.I heard New Orleans police on several occasions refering to blacks as"niggers".Simply wrong.I saw personnel directors interview black job seekers and smiling in their faces and then throwing away their applications and laughing at their attempts to work"with us".
Looting is ridiculous.People risking felony burglary convictions for a pair of shoes.Thats part of the problem with black people today-materialism over everything.Cash rules everyting around me mentality.A recipe for moral and social disaster.
