I’d like to see a poll where they ask blacks if they think whites are racist and vica-versa.

“...or more destructive to the rule of law.”

The rule of law has been under direct frontal assault for about 45 years now. We may be headed into the denouement today.

We killed Communists every where they didn't surrender during WW II.

And we didn't give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

I live in a very diverse area, Abington, just outside Philly. I have definitely sensed an uptick in seething anger when I’m around black people. Then again, I tend to put out a vibe myself, “you don’t intimidate me.”

Just the other day I was walking in a parking lot when a male “youth” eyeballed me. I gave it right back to him and nothing happened. I pity the soft liberal babe who runs into him next.

You meant Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minn.)telling host Bill O'Reilly that the Nazis bombed Pearl Harbor (video follows).

It's a quote from 'Animal House'.

Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

On the surface, I have to say Americans are not divided by race. They are divided by Barack Obama.

Almost certainly Zimmerman will now be arrested and probably indicted to pander to the mob.

I find that doubtful as Zimmerman is not in custody now.

I find it more likely that he will be absolved, just in time for a long summer of riots and wilding.

Trayvon is shot 2/26/12
The first national story of the shooting is published 3/8/12
Obama gives himself wide powers to declare martial law via executive order 3/16/12
Obama says if he had a son he would look like Trayvon 3/23/12
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton get involved 3/23/12

See a pattern?

“African-Americans, however, are convinced it was racially motivated (80% vs. 2%).”

Well then I guess we know who the real racists are.

That’s an eyeopener to me and really lowers my opinion of black people.

No amount of evidence or reason will dissuade them, but you knew that.
Obama will get the same turn out at the polls this year.

The actual division is “Moochers” vs. “Producers”. Government policy has been subsidizing moochers for so long that their numbers have increased to unsustainable proportions. A war is inevitable at this point. The moochers don’t feel they are gifted enough at this point. They won’t sit quietly when the money does, indeed, dry up. Thanks democrats and RINOs. You have destroyed a once great culture.

“Newsweek/Daily Beast Poll Finds Majorities of Americans Think Country Divided by Race”

Americans are quite perceptive of reality.
Even when the elites and media are not.

Most troubling:
“But twice as many blacks (40%) as whites (20%) say it is very divided. And just 19 percent of whites say that racism is a big problem in America, vs. 60 percent of blacks.”

Since the 1950’s, all attempts to promote “equality” and “integration” have not improved racial relations in America. Quite the contrary, they have made, and continue to make the situation progressively worse.

Central to these divisions was the passage of the Civil Rights Act. By creating “protected classes” of individuals (quite intentionally blacks), it did more to promote UNequality than vice versa. The CRA had the side-effect of jump-starting the “discrim-industry”, today headed by the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. What use is a law that is supposedly enacted to root out and identify “discrimination”, unless you have an ever-increasing number of “victims” and an ever-identifiable group of “discriminators” determined to keep them down?

Since the 50’s/60’s, blacks have been bombarded with the propaganda that they are the victims of white racism, both historically (as slaves) and today. For a black person, taught from childhood that whites are suspect, what other possible result can be expected, other than those revealed by the results of the poll above?

Also from the article:
“Only 16 percent of blacks say they have already achieved racial equality and nearly half of blacks (47%) say that they will not achieve racial equality in their lifetime or will never achieve racial equality.”

Things are not going to get better....
