I’m not saying we don’t need to discuss race in this country

Allow me to say it then. I'm sick of hearing about it. It's turning me into a racist.

Here's what I mean. It is a fair question to ask, for example, why blacks earn less than other ethnic groups in the country. Some race-based discussions can be useful, if such discussions are balanced and honest, and offer fair and practical solutions.

But it is obviously not fair or helpful to say: Well, it's all because white people_______(fill in the blank with something negative). And as you know, that response is the only one you'll hear these days.

"Allow me to say it then. I'm sick of hearing about it. It's turning me into a racist."

Yup. I grew up in a racist white-bread home and dis-associated with my parents in my late teens because of that. I've had many friends of varying races and ethnic background throughout my life, especially Navy years.

Now, I also am becoming a racist of the black and hispanic communities because they keep blaming me for their self created problems because I'm some white suppressor. Of course, I admire people like Ben Carson, Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain and many others who don't play the race card. It's getting really difficult to not have a bias as I watch the black leadership promote racism.

Because of Obamacommy, Holder, Sharpton, Jackson, and all the other raceturbators, they have set back race/ethnic relationships some 20 years or more. I thought we were all over this years back...apparently not according to minority leadership, if you can call it leadership.

Meanwhile, they ignore Baltimore experiencing 40 black on black murders in one month, not to mention Detroit, Chicago, Philly, St. Louis, et al. Enough already you racist pr*cks! You want whitey to be a racist? We were over it, but you're pushing us too hard.
