Tolerance and Understanding...
A Police Chief in Texas, why am I not suprised, was suspended for 10 days for making this comment : "as long as I'm police chief, we won't have any gooks in this department".
Teens sent to prison for lynching
5 white teens in South Carolina, I see a pattern here, were senteced from 2 1/2 to 6 years in prison for beating and trying to lynch a black kid.
Although I don't subscribe to people should "tolerate" people of different race and/or nationality since that can be taken as "I don't like those people because they look different so I'll just ignore them", at least it's a start. Those people mentioned above even lack the basic level of tolerance which unfortunately is a rather common thing even in the "greatest country" in the world.
All this is just another proof that "Modern man is the missing link between apes and human beings."

The south shall rise again!
Well all this reminds me of a these quote by an analyst of black issues for the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.
"There have been some gains made, but it's uneven. A lot of whites basically say: 'The civil rights movement has been done. I don't want to hear about it anymore.'"
"Politically, the group that has gained the most after the civil rights movement was white Southern conservatives," Bositis said. "They have transformed the Republican Party, which has become the dominant political party."
