<<<I think you, as a white person, need to realize that you may have very little idea of what people of color experience- and other whites (like the writers of this story) may be similarly challenged- their view of a black man's (or youth's) life, may be seen with white colored glasses.>>> I have faith that truth exists. Seeing things through various lenses is not a barrier to seeing the truth. If you see distortions, get the lense corrected. There is no need to see distortions.

I have sons who have gotten into fights when their black friends have gotten picked on. Someone assumed I am anti- black and anti Muslim simply because I talked about it?????? If I dare question a black am I a racist??????????????????? If the above is true then we will implode as a country with a black president cause no one will dare question anything he does. This is ridiculous! Is Barack Obama a human being? Then he must be asked the tough questions and he must be able to answer and deal with those questions! I don't care what color his skin is............he should be treated like any other person who runs for the office.
