When Will It End?

I just wanted to take a moment to ask anyone who reads this blog to take a look at my friend's posting. Specifically, his posting of November 29, 2005.

Most of you have never been to the town he speaks of, but it is about 15 miles northeast of Sacramento, California. It is an area that used to be kind of sleepy, but is now becoming a bedroom community for Sacramento and the Bay Area, and prices for homes are shooting up as they are elsewhere in our area. With all of that, it still has a small town feel and most would describe the town as friendly. Yet, the incident that he describes shows that we have a long way to go.

There is something that people of all races need to remember: we are all human beings. I don't say that expecting people to say "duh" in response. But obviously, there are still some "people" out there who think that one race is superior to another. That is a load of garbage. Face it...white women can have babies with black men and vice versa. That goes for other races as well. Scientifically, we are the same species. The only thing that differentiates the races is the human tendency to think one above another. That is not physical; it is psychological. And it is ridiculous. Even the Bible notes that all races come from one. Anyone who, in our day and age, can make mindless, racist, vile and violent comments like the two idiots in Loomis did had better hope that they never need a black man to come to their aid someday. What will they do? Turn down the help? I am proud of my friend, Abdur, for keeping his temper under control. I also know that if anyone, of any race, needed help, Abdur would be the first one there. He has done it in the past, and he always will.

I don't feel the need to apologize for the two "men" who made the comments. Or those who insulted his mother on other occasions. Frankly, I consider them beneath contempt. After all these years, there are still some pillowcase wearing imbeciles who haven't learned. What a shame. They miss out on knowing some truly great people.

By the way...my brother-in-law is black...and he is one great guy.
