Race relations

So we have death threats from blacks against whites. We have witnesses in the Zimmerman case saying that Trayvon Martin called Zimmerman a "creepy ass cracker" and many blacks claiming that the term isn't racial or offensive because "that is just how black people talk." Now we have a North Caroline County commissioner saying that white men need not apply for a vacant commission seat.

For years, we have heard about how whites are racists, and any time something bad happens to a black person, a white person and his racism are to blame. We hear that whites are all racists, and blacks cannot be racists, all the while ignoring the fact that we have a black President, which could not have happened if all whites were racists. I heard that President say that it is time for us to have a discussion on race, and say that he was going to unite us. I also heard him say that if he had a son, that son would look like Trayvon Martin.

Race relations are worse now than any time I can remember since the Rodney King riots.
