It is a perfect example of what everyone knows . . . but few are inclined to publicly say it

I worked in Gulfport,MS after Katrina and travel over to N.O., LA.You would not belive the difference in the attitudes of the people in those two areas. In MS you saw a lot of people out in their own yards cleaning up, in LA I saw a lot of people sitting on their porches waiting for someone to do it for them. It was as different as night and day.

That's because we have lowered ourselves down into the gutter of political correctness. It is in all of our minds but you “hate” people if you say it. (notice I said “people” but didn't use the word “black”)

About 15 years ago the marching band from Tennessee State University (TSU), a traditionally black university, traveled to Japan. In Japan, it is not uncommon for store owners to put iPods, cellphones, and other expensive items on the sidewalk unattended in front of the store for pedestrians to view. The TSU students saw this as an open invitation to steal everything they could carry. It was so bad that the authorities stopped the entire planeload of band students and searched their persons and luggage, seizing nearly $100,000 in stolen merchandise.

Among many blacks, stealing is as natural as breathing.

The family and friends of the 11 year old girl raped by 18 black men can testify to this unspoken truth...

Depends on the makeup of the "public" environment involved.

That's why liberals are deemed more "engaged" and "patriotic." They can plaster their cars with stickers without incurring damage.

I learned not to try that the hard way.
