President Obama called him a "jackass". Does that count? Or do your African-American friends speak for all American Blacks. I've got a few White friends and I sure hope they don't speak for all Whites. I mean these nutcases believe in all kinds of crazy stuff, like legalizing medical marijuana, a woman's right to choose, equal pay for women, background checks for gun sales, affordable quality health care, boycotting products from countries that don't abide by child labor laws; you know, a lot of sick sh!t like that. You think those guys speak for all Whites? Of course you don't....you live in Texas, right?

Making sweeping assumptions about people is the hallmark of prejudice. Why if I subscribed to such a thing, I might be asking to see your green card about now, Mr Lopez. Now wouldn't you find that offensive? I would. You know, Tony's right. The media DOES pick known hot-button issues to highlight, because it 'sells papers', so to speak. We would do well not to get sucked into the hype. We take a case of (relatively minor) bad behavior (as acknowledged by everyone, even his peers) and explode it into something much, much worse. I mean, don't we really WANT to live in peace and harmony with one another?
