I was so struck by the African American Club members at the anti-racism demonstration--these are very educated people many of whom had high ranks in the military and/or successful careers (after all they can enjoy living in The Villages) and when one was describing "the talk" they all had to give their kids, every one of their male members were nodding their heads. They talked about the difference between a white student going to the prom vs a black students. how the black parents can't sleep because they worry the kids might be stopped by police. can you imagine? students dressed for the prom have to worry about that.

Grt off your soap box. Of course the african american club is going to have that slant on the issue. Im not bothering to post statistics. Look them up yourself. But more blacks are killed by other blacks than cops or whites
