Reason #6,784 why minorities hate white people:
Today at lunch I heard a white woman sitting at the table next to me commenting on the Tookie Williams execution. And I quote:
“I’m surprised they aren’t rioting out in L.A. Those people riot when they’re happy not to mention when they are upset.”
Yeah, all the black people were so happy when the police that beat the shit out of Rodney King got off with a slap on the wrist that they just had to go riot.
You’d think I was living in Mississippi not Central Illinois.
Seriously, what is the point of prisons? Is it just to get people out of “normal” “good” society, or is it an attempt to reform someone who has lost their way? Is it an attempt to bring them back to being a functional member of society?
“"The degree of civilization can be judged by its prisoners." Dostoyevsky said that after doing a little time.”
So what civilizations do we rank with next to?

Wow! What stellar company. All second and third world theocracies, or the communist block that is China. All of these places are bastions of hope and democracy of course. Killing someone accomplished one thing. One more person is dead… Period.

I hope you see the irony in making this comment while condemning the woman at lunch for generalizing all black people living in L.A. I'm sure there are a few white people living in Mississippi who aren't racist.

We all saw the movie "Mississippi Burning". There are still people alive from that era living in Mississippi. Have they changed? I doubt it.

See, the thing is, Rodney King was high on drugs. They had to beat him.
