Lord this Country better get its act together soon. The division encouraged by the rev. Jackson, Sharpton, and the opps comments from the beer summit leader, are not helping anything. This happens everyday in every city and the only public outrage is when a trial is held on TV for Zimmerman. None of this crap helps anything. And some wonder why CCW’s are up and castle laws are being passed. This isn’t about race but I wish the Commander in Chief would lead instead of instigate.

“This isn’t about race but I wish the Commander in Chief would lead instead of instigate.”

Saying that it’s “not about race” is as disingenuous as saying that the World Trade Center attack was “not about Islam”.

It is what it is.

John Derbyshire was fired from The National Review for being brave enough to say things too many think (or talk about in private), but cannot be uttered in the public square. His termination had no bearing whether or not what he said may or may not have been accurate — no, he simply had the temerity to speak from a viewpoint that is verboten.

There can be no hope - NONE - of “getting the act together” until those -in- the country can recognize what the problem is, and have a frank discussion about it from BOTH sides.

For more than fifty years, the “discussion” about race in America has been a one-sided conversation, with the rules established by blacks. Any white person who dared to speak the truth was immediately branded a racist and shown the door faster than you can say “Mr. Derbyshire”.

Nothing has changed. Yet.

But I sense that the hour of change, the day of reckoning, is coming, and coming soon.
