SHIT I'M THINKING ABOUT TODAY

Since nobody reads this anyway, I feel fairly safe in venting here. What's with the protesters over the Ferguson, MO, and other cases where a black hoodlum was killed by a white officer? Anyone who looks at the facts, instead of just the race of those involved, will see that the young men killed were certainly not the cream of society. Did they deserve to die, maybe not. Did their own actions precipitate their demise? I think they did. The point is, the legal system ran its course, and despite the pressure from the media and colored people, they did what they felt was just. What more can you ask for? Sure, it is painful to the family and friends of the young men who died, but was it the fault of one white person, or the system, or did these young black men push the envelope just a little too far? I've seen what the fear of being called a racist can do; young blacks in a predominantly white school taking advantage in every way they can. They think they can play the race card to get away with anything. Well, it doesn't always work. Racism exists in America because people of color refuse to accept their own responsibilty for how their lives turn out. They prefer to blame the white man for everything bad that happens to them. The law gives everyone equal rights now. You can no longer blame the system. In fact, in truth, the white man is more the victim of racism at this point in history. The white male, especially the older white male, is blamed for nearly every problem. At the same time, the older white male is still the predominant force in politics, and it is the older white male who has passed legislation making everyone equal.
