Predictable

A white kid gets attacked for sitting down next to a black kid on a school bus.

Amazing how far we have come... From the days when a black had to sit in the back of the bus, to today, where a white can't sit anywhere on the bus.

We all want to ignore the seething hatred that so many blacks today hold for the white race. We want to ignore places like Watts, or Detroit, or south Dallas, where black-on-white hatred has been growing for decades, places where if a white man is caught there, he may never be heard from again.

Many of us want to believe that most blacks are like Colin Powell - educated, reasonable, civilized - that most blacks are not like the ones that tried to burn down and loot Los Angeles, or like the ones wandering our streets in huge gangs  armed with everything from zipguns to Uzis, or like the ones that beat up outnumbered whites that want a seat on the bus.

Many of us want to ignore the hatred that has been created and encouraged by black men making a career out of race-baiting: Men like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton,  Louis Farrakan.  The racial chasm these men have helped create carries a heavy price tag, one all of us will have to pay.

What are you going to say to those black kids who beat up this white kid just because he wanted a seat on the bus? Are you going to conclude that it was just a small and isolated incident ,  unfortunate, but not worth the worry? Are you going to make more excuses... Like they were disadvantaged, or didn't have a basketball court, or that Daddy was never around?

Or are you going to pay attention to the writing in the wall?
