james byrd - that's a recent event and fair play
kkk - other races have their stupid supremacy groups, too - and nobody respects them
segregation, the fight for civil rights - more than 30 years ago.
why is it that when someone points out that racism goes in all directions, the knee jerk reaction is to point out what white people have done in the past.
the james byrd tragedy is no more indicative of the average caucasion than the central park jogger assault is of the black or hispanic community.
but what you didn't see is a crowd of white people standing outside the courthouse campaigning that prosecuting Byrd's murderers was a racist witchhunt.
