I think it unfair to visit their anger on a bunch of people who are just probably the nicest folks you could find anywhere. Very few of us Villagers have ever owed anyone a debt and not paid it. Most of us have never, ever, ever been in jail. An awful lot of us, especially those past the seventies mark, made a financial success of their lives and started out damn close to poor if not poor, by anyone's standards. Most people don't care what color you are but do care if you break the law. They won't like you at all if you shop lift or steal cars, or use someone else's credit card. Simply because they don't do stuff like that. They would go without and probably go hungry before they took something that wasn't theirs.
I am really tired of being attacked when I don't think I have done much of anything except be born white. I think that all this stink is being maneuvered into the forefront of news because of what year this is and what is happening soon.
I say Uncle.
I don't like the aspersions cast. I may not be a wonderful soul, but I am like most people here, I am doing the best I can and I wouldn't deliberately hurt anyone no matter what color they are. EVER.

Everything you said is spot on and most applies to me - born South Bronx on welfare. The fact is most of the current situation is born out of a crisis and you know what that means - Never let a good crisis go to waste. So, you haven't seen the last of this.
