Re: White Cop vs Black Scholar
Irr, My wife carries a Cherrokee card... We have never been offered free healthcare. Nor do I think we would accept. We reject most free stuff they send our way...
Parents as Teachers programs (they begged us to allow the state in our home)
The Public School System (We pay them their annual $3,000.00 but prefer daily Bible Classes and prayer over lower learning.)

Re: White Cop vs Black Scholar
We are a white family. I would consider adopting a black child. I have a Baptist Pastor friend that has adopted two black children It has been a very rewarding experience for them.

It's been a while since I've researched it. I had some friends that had health coverage because of their NA status and had me look into it for my family. I don't remember the details but I'll look again.

I think your family would have a lot to offer, Stephen.

In small insidious comments, and outright face to face comments. They spew hatred, and teach it to their children. And I don't think it really matters what age a black is in this country, how do they forget the past. Or overcome the present, when it is usually something that white people don't want to talk about, because they will have to admit the truth.
I still think the President of the US should not have commented on this situation as he did, without knowing all the facts.

Nothing could ever repay the atrocity of slavery. But affirmative action in the educational system that directly benefits African-Americans would be a good start.
Clarence Thomas is one who benefited from an educational affirmative action program.

If President Obama truly wants to enhance race relations, he would be better served to follow the example of Bill Cosby rather than that of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. - David Limbaugh

Re: White Cop vs Black Scholar
The best article written on the issue I have seen. Thomas Sowell - A Post-Racial President?
(excerpt)
Quote:
What does a community organizer do? What he does not do is organize a community. What he organizes are the resentments and paranoia within a community, directing those feelings against other communities, from whom either benefits or revenge are to be gotten, using whatever rhetoric or tactics will accomplish that purpose.
To think that someone who has spent years promoting grievance and polarization was going to bring us all together as president is a triumph of wishful thinking over reality.
Not only Barack Obama's past, but his present, tell the same story. His appointment of an attorney general who called America "a nation of cowards" for not dialoguing about race was a foretaste of what to expect from Eric Holder.
An 18th century philosopher said, "When I speak I put on a mask. When I act I am forced to take it off." Barack Obama's mask slipped for a moment last week but he quickly recovered, with the help of the media. But we should never forget what we saw.
