So true. I'm sitting here with a story on my desk of a white boy set on fire by two black teens who called him whitey. He pulled his shirt over his face, which had been doused with gasoline, so his burns were not disfiguring. But the intent was to maim, perhaps to kill.
And it barely makes the news. Because he is white, attached by blacks. No one saying "that could be my son".
And it wasn't a "hate crime" even though "racial slurs" were spoken by the perpetrators against the victim.
And the Trayvon Martin fallacy continues to pick up steam in the minority and Liberal communities, even in the face of mounting contradictory evidence.
How did we get to where we are? (obviously a rhetorical question) Where is it leading us to?
