And on CNN, Colin Powell chimed in with his advice to black children: "When you're faced with an officer who is trying to do his job and get to the bottom of something, this is not the time to get in an argument with him. I was taught that as a child."

As a white child, I too, was taught this Mr. Powell. Any idiot who ever has watched "Cops" on TV also knows this to be true. It's called respect for the law.

Sage advice to "black" children which could have been given in a non-racial context.

Only problem is that, like our President, you feel that any and every injustice that life has imposed on you is racially motivated.

As a white adult, whenever I have faced life's injustices, I haven't had the luxury of slamming the race card on the table.

Neither have I, but I do plan on starting to teach my blue-eyed blonde 11 year old daughter to start pulling that card, because she is being targeted for being a blue-eyed, blonde, very smart, white girl.

I truly hope that everyone here understands the sarcasm in the above sentence.
