I don't think that a lot of the anger witnessed and alluded to has ANYTHING to do about race. It has to do about all, everyone, each individual of every hue being responsible to the best of their ability. You lose me when you burn down buildings of innocent people who worked hard to have those buildings. I don't care if you are green with yellow polka dots. STOP IT!!! Stop making a big deal about race when it isn't about race. It is about obeying the law and working hard and saving your money after seeing that laws are in place for everyone to be able to do that. Which I think we have. When you do affirmative action that signals to me that some people need breaks and pity. I don't like PITY.
