Well, perhaps if they stopped behaving as criminals, it would ease the paranoia of us law abiding citizens, which might in turn ease some black paranoia, but I don't really see how, since they mostly shoot each other.

In a Democratic National Committee video in April 2010, Obama called on “young people, African-Americans, Latinos and women . . . to stand together once again.” Shortly before the November 2010 congressional elections, Obama told an audience that Republicans “are counting on black folks staying home.” Before the Congressional Black Caucus, Obama affected the supposed accent of black America in emphasizing shared race: “Stop grumblin’. Stop cryin’. We are going to press on. We’ve got work to do.” Was “we” the black community or all of America? He appealed to Latino voters not to stay home from the 2010 elections, but instead to “punish our enemies”—and not to fall prey to the Republicans’ “cynical attempt to discourage Latinos from voting.” Conservatives, remember, wished, according to the president, to round up Latino children while eating ice cream. There is now an African Americans for Obama campaign group, and Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith warns us that he has Obama’s back.
All this is not quite new. Obama stereotyped the Cambridge Police Department as having “acted stupidly” for detaining Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates. He allegedly complained that racial bias explains much of the Tea Party opposition to his own administration, and used the derogatory “tea-baggers” sexual slur to characterize the protests. Members of the Black Caucus have talked a lot about the Trayvon Martin case, calling it an “assassination” and a “murder” and alleging that Zimmerman shot Martin down like “a dog.” This too is not new in the age of Obama. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said debt arguments showed racial animosity toward Barack Obama. Rep. Barbara Lee accused Republicans in racist fashion of trying to deny blacks the vote. Rep. Andre Carson claimed that the Tea Party wished to lynch blacks from trees.

The left have been agitating the black community for 50 years, at least, in order to maintain their own power. It has been a HUGE detriment to black people and their culture to be so immersed in generational bitterness.
I don’t believe that the “racial divide” is growing in recent times. I believe it has always been there being fomented by the left, being kept alive, being stirred up,
but until the “Age of Obama”, expression of this animosity was kept to a minimum.
I’ll never forget when I said “hi” to a little boy in line at the city codes office and when he wouldn’t respond his dad said to me “He has to deal with Caucasians at school.”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“He has to deal with Caucasians at school”
I’m at a loss as to what that even means.
You know that these “prejudices” are taught at home.
I heard little girl say “two people wearing pants can’t dance!”. That’s pro-heterosexual teaching at home.
And he was right.
Where is the Latino community? Zimmerman is as Latino as Obama is Black. Why no strong voices responding to the media lynching of a Latino?
Folks please note that the link is to the second page of the article. Page one is worth reading as well.
Absolutely. Anybody growing up in the era of busing, knows this. I grew up in Milwaukee, 60’s-70’s, and the hate and harassment I experienced is on par with what is happening today. It is being exposed because of the Internet. Being white, blond, blue-eyed, and extremely shy, I was a bulls-eye on a target. (To mostly angry ghetto blacks, but also white ghetto trash)
As are some of the comments.
Well, when you have freepers stating, as one did lasy night, “Any black kid walking is suspicious - they kill”, it’s kind of easy to understand their paranoia.
My old man tried to tell JB what kind of monster was being created, but he didn't care.
Until then my old man was a FDE dem. After that he never voted for another dem.
This whole affair is a classic action right out of Saul Alinski’s book - Rules for Radicals. To wit:
The organizer dedicated to changing the life of a particular community must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act. — P.116-117

Yes. I can't be the only person who finds himself cringing at a comment or two in almost every lengthy thread on the Martin/Zimmerman matter, or on matters involving race.
Racist in chief.
I was about to say that is his greatest betrayal of America, but I have to put disarmament high on that list, as well.
I can assure there are far more people that cringe at your comments than the other way around.
These cretins don't even understand that all they are doing is giving substance to those who attack FR as being racist. Hard to argue against that given the deluge of such posts.
If we all cringed over diversity hate and racist doctrines as we cringe over the neo-nazis, race relations would be much better than they are now. Unfortunately, many have been programed to think one form of race hate is worse than the other. That’s a deadly deception.
If you agree that “any black kid walking anywhere is suspiscous” why not just say so?
