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.
I see your point but 40 years removed of racial segregation has nothing to do with employers giving you mandatory tests on slavery. That is BS and if someone tried to do that with a White test he would be fired and have charges brought up against him.
Well, I guess that we all learned a lesson today. That it's what's inside a person that counts. And that on the inside, midgets are thieving little bastards.
