Does Racism eliminate the ability to think ?

We want to understand why these men thought they’d get away with this type of nonsense ? Is this to be par for the course with overwrought white men for the next few years ?  I certainly hope not because if that’s the case, the jails will quickly overflow.

the amount of rage that has been demonstrated by white americans post election has been extraordinary to say the least.  why would grown men begin acting like plain and simple idiots ?  is there something that was triggered in society that made people fear their future under Barack Obama.

I do not want to believe that this is because he is Younger, or Hawaiian; and I most certainly don’t want to believe that it’s because His Mom was White  and His Dad was Black. No I refuse to believe that this type of stupidity still raises it head in two thousand nine.

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love, 1963
