2legit2quit,maybe someday we can sit down and enjoy a cold one. It would be something I'd look forward to. I almost connected with Scott F a couple of years ago and would have if my plans hadn't had to change. We live on about as opposite ends of the country as you can get until you throw in Alaska. I still want to make one of the Campfire get togethers and might take an honest stab at it next year.

Negros and whites live in two separate worlds. It appears to me idiots and normal people live in two separate worlds. Not blacks and whites. Travis

Almost all of my dealings with black people were in the army. There were 2 distinct groups - the black guys who were just like us white guys and some were good friends. Then there were the Soul Brothers. You didn't mess with those guys. You stayed clear away from them.
Of course there were white guys you avoided, too, but they seemed to hate everyone, not just those of a different color.

That was some good writing by Ben Watson. Can you imagine what life would be like if we had a few politicians like that, and a bunch of celebrities who spoke so truthfully, and the MSM actually reported on it?

as insightful and thought provoking as those remarks are, they are a candle in an ocean of darkness.
This whole Ferguson thing has put race relations in America back a generation. Or more. Negros and whites live in two separate worlds. A thought that just occurred to me is that it's not so much the "Ferguson thing." It's the Black leadership thing. Name one black leader (Sharpton, Jackson, 0bama, though not all black leaders have African ancestry) accepted by the main stream who has the character of Martin Luther King, or the white abolitionists of the mid-1800s, or the white leaders of the Underground Railroad who risked life to bring blacks from slave states to free states. King was far from perfect, but his message was a call to elevate black Americans, not to diminish whites. Today the leaders of the civil rights movement are attempting to diminish whites, and you can't diminish one race or class without diminishing all. The civil rights leaders of the 60s understood this. Black clergymen, who were their forebearers, also understood it. Their message was the message of Acts 17:26, "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth." Who in the civil rights movement believes that today? Today's black leadership has put race relations back more than a generation. I say that because blacks have no leaders on the horizon, who are accepted by the main stream, who will not stand for the methods and values being pushed today. In my opinion, black leaders of today who are accepted by the main stream seek to elevate blacks by bringing whitey down, and that's impossible. Black leaders of earlier generations understood that it's impossible, which is why they achieved so much where today's civil rights leaders are failing. Steve. perhaps you're an "everyday hunter" but your words were of the type of man of careful consideration excellent post!
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Just another liberal for insinuating Wilson or any other officer could ever be in the wrong. What part of the words "exempt" and "immune" does this POS cop hater not understand. The civilian should ALWAYS lose when confronted by a police officer no matter what the officer wants. The civilian can lose during the initial contact with the officer or officers or they can lose when confronted by scores of the officers comrades, their choice.

Sounds like these so called black leaders want blacks to receive treatment historically(and legitimately) that is only available to police officers as stated eloquently by the conservative Chief Flynn: http://reason.com/blog/2014/10/16/cop-in-milwaukee-fired-after-shooting-un""There's got to be a way for us to hold ourselves accountable absent putting cops in jail for making mistakes," Flynn said"

It's a very deserving post to have gone viral on Facebook; nearly 400,000 'shares'. It's kind of ironic that a professional athlete probably has more name recognition by a wider group of people from a thoughtful social media post than he would have achieved had he caught a winning pass in a Super Bowl.
