Are Minorities getting the short end of the stick in NO
All I see on the news are minorities doing the looting. Has this set us back?

1. DUHHHHHHH, LOL.
A person said to me that "all those black people are acting like animals on television for the entire world to see".

That person was black.

2. You bet...It has never changed. We just cover it better in non panic
situations. I recall the murder of the pregnant woman by her husband, and how we were all willing to believe that what he said about it being a black man was true...and so, we hounded them. I recall Susan Smith, saying a black man took her babies...and we all believed her. :( Sad day.

4. When Andrew went throw Florida, they showed the Black people
looting the shopping malls. But the people going into homes at gun point were not Black. Yes, it bothers me that looters always seem to be Black. In the movies, the drug people are always of Spanish descent and the common criminals usually Black. Getting tired of it. Look at the criminals in Washington. All old to middle aged white men.
