"Why don't any of you white liberals deal with Congresswoman Maxine Waters who basically excused the trashing of Korean stores during the L.A. riots?"

I was puzzled by this. I wondered why the rioting blacks didn't get in their Cadillacs, drive through the gates of the gated white communities and burn the places down. I was disappointed.

I finally came to realize that they attacked the Korean stores because this was a minority one level up from them, who price gouged, exploited and disrespected them on a daily basis. Then, it made sense.

Why don't any of you white liberals deal with Congresswoman Maxine Waters who basically excused the trashing of Korean stores during the L.A. riots? Now THAT'S something truly offensive to me. Why is she still in office, and how much you want to bet that Obama will still give her the time of day just because she's black?

Why don't you try shopping in some of those Korean stores in LA before you condemn Waters? I am no fan of Waters but I have first hand experience with Korean stores. Some are okay but some are terrible....high prices, rotting produce and questionable goods.
