Yeah, I don't care about the in-depth follow-up. We are a nation of racists, and any white person who wants to dispute that, ask yourself if you'd mind trading colors with an African American family for one year. Or one week. A day? It is more difficult and more dangerous to be a person of color than to be white. That's just the facts, and I can't begin to understand all the ramifications of that reality.

*Please don't interpret the above comment to mean anything except the realities of day to day life... I am certainly NOT valuing one culture or ethnic group or history over another.

*Also, I would have frankly more comfortable if the police had treated the white guy the same way they did the black guy: WTF??? Walking around with an AK-47 is okay as long as you don't brandish it??? Yeah, that really makes me feel safer. Moronic laws made and enforced by morons.

Everybody’s racist to some degree. It’s human nature to rally around your own kind.

Rallying around your own kind is great if it doesn't involve hooded robes and burning crosses.
