Don't talk about injustice, talk to me about correcting the hate for all race.

I always use this analogy....Take a white man and put him in downtown Detroit at midnight.  90% black.  What happens to him?  Most likely mugged and killed.

 

Now take a black man and put him in 90% white Montana.  What happens to him?  Nothing.

 

Which is the more racist?

 

So very true. sad really.
