ROTFL. Howlin... you have an elequent way of putting things. I continue to be impressed.

I'm from the area and feel somewhat qualified to comment. You are quite correct: The ones doing the looting are black. The cops doing the looting are also black. There's no denying this at all.

The ones making excuses for the ones doing the looting are simply afraid to be considered "racists."

That said, I can assure you that most blacks in the area would say the same thing I just said. Some of the best swearing and "praise Gods" and "Lord Almighties" I've ever heard have been by blacks friends of mine down south about the antics of other blacks.

Actually, it's worse than that; they're embarassed because deep in their hearts that is what they EXPECT blacks to do.

Just like Shep saying "They need somebody to tell them what to do."
