At a new place called Barbers on Broad. My boots were in pretty rough shape. When I walked in, the black gentleman greeted me with a big smile and told me to hop up on the chair. It took about 15 minutes for the man to work his magic on my boots. We had a great conversation about the word of god and how we were both so thankful for our jobs.

We briefly touched on the current turmoil and I believe our interaction and conversation proved that the majority of people share a similar view point.

I also talked to a black guy yesterday. I work with him. If we can talk, anyone can. All is good in the world.

And the word "Black". This is now the journalistic standard in this country.

This is the same as “but I have a black friend.”

People can be nice and cordial with each other but it shouldn’t discount the injustices one race continually faces that the other doesn’t.

Go on.....

And before you "go on" here's some numbers you need to look at (I borrowed this from a Poli Board thread):

quote:

Let's look at the FBI's own numbers with regards to crime (and I'm only using crime instead of housing, banking etc because this seems to be what people are talking about today): 69.6% of victims were white, 21.6% were black. 53.9% of offenders were white, while 27.4% were black. 69.6% of arrestees are white, while 24.7% were black. So of course more whites will be killed than blacks just based off of simple statistics.

But here is where the numbers get wonky. 44.2% of murders are committed by whites while 53.1% are committed by blacks. (The numbers are even more skewed if you look at the under 18 age group) That's an astounding difference based on the fact that blacks make up 13% of the population. The numbers are only out of whack (compared to the population makeup) in murder, suspicion and gambling (who knew). White people do most of the crime and are arrested for most of the crimes (because of population numbers). Black people commit murder, suspicion (what exactly is that?) and gambling offenses (still who knew?) disproportionately to other races but it isn't because of population. What's the cause here? I don't know the answer to that. Blacks make up 33% of fatal shooting victims. But who is doing the shootings? Well according to the murder numbers 53.1% is done by blacks even though they only make up 13% of the population.

So you're not into facts huh? OK then stay with your narrative

.

I have many black friends.

One just left my house. He came over because he needed help on a project.

I asked if I could wash his feet.

He said “ Sheeeet,c’mon man,you ain’t turned into one of them crazy frickers,have you?

We laughed, had a beer together.

I’m going to pass by his house later to pick up a plate. He’s a good cook.

Everybody can get along if they want to.

You just reminded me I haven't been to the state Capitol in a while.

Need to go see him.
