I believe that it is a very good idea to not only give a view of one race in this country but to bring to light the negs. and positives of all races. When shows like Black in America are aired people may think that problems such as these ONLY take place or "live" in the black community. Once people realize that no one race has certain problems and that PEOPLE have problems then that is when this country will truly have taken strides in the right direction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-12073285479807283142009-07-23T16:59:41.889-05:002009-07-23T16:59:41.889-05:00DEEP.

Interesting though, that our first response is to think it was a white person and that the crime was racially motivated. Perhaps this says something about the history of racial violence in this country and the paranoia and fear so many of us live under? Should we, and can we "get past" this? I don't know if we can or should as it can be psychically debilitating but also good common sense to have one's guard up.<BR/><BR/>Cdchaunceydevegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09652406326490873337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-37664313542679701962008-08-06T21:19:00.000-05:002008-08-06T21:19:00.000-05:00One more correction relating to my own post and al...One more correction relating to my own post and also in response to the previous post on the ethnicities...the murder took place in Canada on the TransCanada highway enroute to Winnipeg.

The linked article got the races all wrong. <BR/><BR/>The victim looks and is probably white, or may be fair-skinned Native-North American, but the attacker has an Asian surname. <BR/><BR/>It will still be interesting if race was a factor in his attacking this young man. There was a college campus shooting a year or two ago where a young Asian guy was the perp, and he had written about his deep resentment toward whites. He was also crazy, like the other guy.<BR/><BR/>I think that if/when the darkest days of coming economic breakdown hits, we will see more acts of aggression between the races. So far few blacks have 'gone postal' compared to other races; hope this continues since we have enough other problems.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-56522409500674227192008-07-31T23:16:00.000-05:002008-07-31T23:16:00.000-05:00I just read that article, how twisted and macabre!...I just read that article, how twisted and macabre!!!
