Beware of the White Man
This article is completely and undoubtedly true. We are a racist society still, we've just come up with clever ways of hiding it. We'll shake hands and smile at the black man, then turn around and insult them to a fellow white man. We refuse to tell black jokes but when we do, we make sure to look around first so as not to appear recist. I'll admit that I too am guilty of this type of racism.; but why? What is it that we fear about telling a black joke infrom of a black man? The fear of being short that's what! But we just as easilier be shot by a white man as we can by a blackman. Perhaps more because it wouldn't be expected by our own kind, we wouldn't have our guard up as we normally would with anyone else.

I totally agree with you Gary. I also have been in situations where many of the people around me look everywhere before they say a racist joke or those people that in front of you love black people but as soon as they are among whites they can not wait to talk trash about those black people.
I was watching TV this morning and it was about a rapist and the danger he did to many women. Police officers were trying for years to find a suspect and when they did they held responsible a black guy who was actually innocent and sent to prison, a few years later a white male declared to the police department that it was him the one who was guilty of those charges. Like you said we can easily be shot by a white man as we can by a black man. I hope one day this world changes for good.
