The problem is especially bad at the schools here in Norfolk, VA. White kids get verbally abused, shoved around, etc. in the public schools. I raised my kids to be "color-blind," thanks to their having lived in Alaska for most of their lives. Racism is bad and I have had many black friends over the years. Yet, after moving to Virginia a few years ago, my kids have become the victims of black prejudice against whites. One of them was robbed in the school by a group of black youths and a year later, he was beaten up by a group of black kids on the street adjacent to the school. My kids don't eat lunch in the cafeteria because they get shoved around and opt to hang with their teachers in their classes where they feel safe. This week, a 300-lb black boy threatened to slap a petite girl he called a "white b*tch" unless she gave up her seat on the bus to him. So much for Rosa Parks and Black History month! The school administrators won't do anything. The police can't do anything. They just file a report.

A Norfolk city council member threatens to bring down Jesse Jackson and the Black Panthers every time a black man gets roughed up while resisting arrest. (Yet a white fool who burned an 8-inch cross on a black person's lawn as a bad joke is possibly facing life in prison for a "hate crime.") Meanwhile, one in four black men in Virginia can't vote because they are felons. It's a scary feeling living in a place where 50% of the population thinks that O.J. Simpson was truly innocent! What's wrong with this picture! I'd move to Alaska or Montana or Utah if I could, but I have aging relatives with health problems that live here, so I'm "trapped" for the time being.

How much time do you think we have before full-scale race war breaks out?

About a year or so ago I posted a story from here in Richmond. Teenagers told a white girl, girlfriend of a black guy with his kids by a previous girlfriend(black) in her car, that she didn't belong in the area and shot her in the head. No hate crime charge there.

Then there were the black teens that were going aroud Charlottesville (whose city council just passed a we love terrorists, don't hurt Saddam resolution, BTW), beating up Asian and white UVa students, informing them that it was for racial reasons. Again, no hate crime charges.

How much time do you think we have before full-scale race war breaks out?

If Osama wanted the US engulfed in race war, all he would have to do is get a white Chechen Muslim to assassinate Louis Farrakhan in public. The cities would be burning within an hour

And the cops mostly disappear or run away (as happened in LA during the last riots), or be ordered to not intervene (NYC and numerous other cities). In such a situation, citizens would need to defend their homes and neighborhoods (and don't think that just because you live in the suburbs, that the gangs can't drive to your area to trash it). In such a situation, the minimum requirement would be at least one gun, plus at least a thousand rounds of ammo for it (if you're going to keep them away by firing into the ground, you need enough ammo to keep doing this frequently over the course of 24-48 hours. If you're going to send the message across by having piles of bodies around your place, you can do with less ammo, but you are guaranteed of more hassle afterwards)

You know what the sad part is there are per captia more black men in jail then in college. I you hit me it is assualt and battery not racism. How can any sane person try to determine what a person was thinking when they commit a crime against someone of a different race. One can surmise that the main thought is will I get caught. Bring back the chain gangs and public flogging. Not weight rooms, internet and law libraries. We need some hardnosed good ole fashioned Grandma dispensed beatings. 1st in line the lawyers of the ACLU.

I went to a bunch of public schools just like this in CA growing up. Whites were a minority in my neighborhood; when busing began they bused white kids in .I could tell you stories of the abuse us white kids endured at the hands of black kids simply because we were white that would make your toenails curl. No teacher or authority figure ever helped, they just blamed us or ignored the whole thing.My point: It's probably much worse for your kids to have to endure this daily than you realize; I carry deep and painful scars to this day (I graduated HS 1977).I would not let my children endure this for one minute. I know it's NOMB, but can't you homeschool them or something ?

I'd move to Alaska or Montana or Utah if I could, but I have aging relatives with health problems that live here, so I'm "trapped" for the time being.

You and your loved ones have health problems of a social kind! If it is really as bad as you describe, I would tell the relatives, "I'm leaving this hellhole, with or without you". I know this is easier said than done.
