I think that since we are only about 40 years removed from serious, serious racial stereotypes and real violence against blacks, especially in the south, and the murder of Dr Martin Luther King, Blacks in America are just now coming into their own as political equals to whites and as such every one needs to be patient.
They must remember that with out white support that this would not be a possibility. And we whites need to remember that not too awful long ago we did have institutionalized racism and racial separation in roughly half our country. Many people may still spit and grumble about reverse racism which may indeed happen, but we need to all be tolerant of each others views and vocal when this does happen, but violence has NO part in our national conversation, as it was in the early 1960's.
I think every one would agree that we can never nor would we ever, go back to this type of national behavior whether it is perpetrated by white or black.
