An excellent article, a top of the line explanation, it brought tears to my eyes as the truth was naked and the reality absolute. Wish more people had this slant on the news that happens.

Then there are those small moments when a cab driver who has been working many hours turns to collect his fare and sees the passenger bolt out the door without paying.

This month, Ta-Nehisi Coates published Between the World and Me, a powerful collection of essays written in the form of letters to his teenage son. The book is a sensation on the left, and it is full of rage and even hate.

If I had to go through life with such a ridiculous name I'd probably have some issues with rage too. But it would be directed at the brain damaged idiots who stuck that monicker on me, not the rest of the world.

When I look at your beautiful brown skin, it pains me that there will be some who dislike you simply because of that skin.

There are those who are like that, yes. But for myself, and I suspect the majority of non-blacks, it is what lies beneath that evokes so many negative responses.

“Why won’t they stop for black people?

Because the Jerry Springers, Maury Poviches, foul mouthed and violent rappers, Black Panthers, "Cops", "Hardcore Pawn", Sharptons, Reverend Wrights, Farrakhans and others have served up a big portion of black behavior that nobody wants to be around. Like it or not, right or wrong.

It is fascinating that right wingers, evangelicals, Tea Partiers, conservatives, NRA supporters, etc. are scrutinized and criticized for any wrong they commit as an example of the whole .... but blacks are across the board "being discriminated against" for any actions that they do.
