I am so glad we live in a democratic nation….with liberty and justice for all. A land where a person's race, color, religion or creed has no bearing on how they are treated. A place where thoughtful discourse is conducted in the pursuit of rightful actions…….

And of course, the police and other officials are going to get to the bottom of the Micheal Brown shooting ( http://tinyurl.com/qbrt8x5  ) any day now. I am sure shooting and killing an unarmed black teenager walking in the middle of the street was obviously called for…..they just have to dig deep enough to "find the facts" and also discredit the friend who saw it all happen. (Good thing this young man obtained a lawyer early in to the investigation….unusual events have been known to happen in such cases…)

Beaverceek, Ohio where we moved from a few years ago, also had a shooing....this time in Walmart. Again there are questions as to why a black man who was holding a BB gun sold in the store was shot by police. Alerted by an ex-Marine in the store with his wife, who followed him around, a rush of people to the exits also caused the death of a woman with a medical condition. Of course, a store video of all this would probably simplify things...http://tinyurl.com/qj4e2ds . Silly me! 

If we could just keep all those brown-skinned, poor little disease ridden immigrant children from our borders….. 

If we could just keep those "other" families in their place, in their own failing schools, taking low wage jobs, blaming them for all our troubles…

If we could just get everyone believing the Bible is the ruling concept of our country, that no religion besides fundamentalism is even worth considering, and that guns are the answer to a peaceful coexistence…

….then this truly would be a caucasian conservative Christian paradise.

Race, Diversity...... and the RACE

We all heard the news the other day that the birthrate has tipped in favor of non-whites. This, of course has the Right discombobulated. Now I'm SURE they'll be dead set against ALL birth control, reproductive choices and family planning services for those conservative-values voters. Those of OTHER mindsets (or ethnicities)...not so much. This should be interesting if not vitriolic at times.

This is from ABC News yesterday: 

The data released this week revealed a tipping point in the country's demographic shift. For the first time in the country's history, more minority children were born than white children, setting the stage for an eventual non-white majority in America's population.

"I think that what we're seeing is that hate groups, particularly white supremacist groups, are talking a lot about the fact that whites will soon be a minority in this country, that their goal at all costs is to preserve the white race in civilization, which spurs them to recruit more, and have more incendiary rhetoric," Mayo said.

The main reason for all of this, of course is: "It is not a good thing. The immigrants do not share American values, so it is a good bet that they will not be voting Republican when they start voting in large numbers."............the Eagle Forum

Now in the South, custom and tradition are something to be revered.....right or wrong. NASCAR is a world unto it's self. (Hey, I've got MY favorite drivers, too.) They've already had conniption fits that they have to race in California and Las Vegas....

So when a young driver of African-American persuasion is making his way up the ranks: "Given Darrell Wallace Jr.'s advanced learning curve in stock car racing, it might seem like his NASCAR national series debut has been a long time coming."

Let the comments begin..........From the Nascar site today:

He has every right to race and nascar has every right to give money to the poor just wish they would stop making the tickets so hi to support him

What is wrong with having something that is not "diverse" ? White people are what made NASCAR big and now Brian France does this. I hear that attendance is down at the races, maybe because Obamas hog came to a race!

Just saw a stat the other day where the growth of minorities have outgrown whites = whites are the minorities so does that mean the poor whites get funding too?  I'm glad he is getting a chance.
