Let me guess, you're trying to turn this thread into a Democrat vs Republican thread. You want to discuss political parties, start your own thread. Otherwise, don't come here with that.

In Washington State?? I thought for sure it was DC. That's shocking.

Well, I guess of my experiences back in the day, I am at least grateful one of us was never stabbed.

Can't believe this still goes on though. We've made NO progress.

But it sure helps.

Puget Sound, even if there is prejudice there, this is kind of a shock. And Washington state is one of the safer states to live in, with a low murder rate.
It's the liberals that say and do that stuff. Have you ever heard what liberals say behind your back?

Don't worry, as the number of black people in Washington state increase, these types of incidents will increase.

Liberals love different races as long as they don't have to live amongst them.

The vast majority of Siutherners have no issue with the race of their neighbors. If they did, you would hear about attacks every single day.

Look at the big Democrat cities and you'll find segregation of the races.

Hillary chose to live in an area with less than 1% black people.

I don't know what most people say behind my back. I do know what people have done to my face, and said to my face. The persons who shouted the "N" word at me from their pickup trucks, in public of all places. The person who threatened to "hang me from their rope".

Telling me what liberals do does not negate what some conservatives have done and said.

One good thing is that the perpetrator did not have a gun. At least that gave the man a fighting chance.

Actually, we have. Just not as much as many of us would like.
(I vividly remember seeing as a child the newspaper photos of emmett till, who was lynched for wolf-whistling at a white woman.)

Note that witnesses helped out and did not pile on to the black man. It really is progress.
