Okay... it's the burning desire to destroy everything they have because they somehow think that's going to improve their situation.

Better?

That's if you believe government programs solved the overt and covert discrimination.

The bus does not allow weapons and torches. Anyway, most are probably RENTERS and don't even own the homes they are living in.

No, police are there to stop that.

blacks destroy their own neighborhoods for the same reason you throw your playstation controller when you lose. frustration.

instead, they should be educating themselves, taking care of their children, and staying out of jail long enough to keep a job. Monumental task i know, that's why most would rather just sit on their asses and blame white people.

That is the probelm! The blacks as well as the Latinos actually have no chioce, the republicans can give a rats butt about either group and has proven it time and time again. This country needs a viable third party! that does not cater to race or social status but to the needs of the American people

There's a big difference between acknowledging a divide and being a racist.

Funny thing, this divide has gotten wider since Obama took office. Obama, who promised racial unity, yet spews racial division.

He'll be coming out any minute now, to call for civility. Waiting......
