My oldest
granddaughter a 22 year old college graduate called me a racist this
evening. I called her a fish....because a fish doesn't know it's wet.
She doesn't know what she thinks she knows. But she knows enough to
call me a racist. Why? Because, I said that if there is only 12-14% of
your kind in a place but you were responsible for 80% of the crime in
your place, then your kind is represented fairly in prisons if 60-70%
of your kind is locked up!
All of this started because she took
offense at the reporting about three people, one, a Mexican passenger
in a car that hit a child, was yanked out by a gang of 20
African-Americans and beaten to death. In the second case a white man
was just beaten badly and I really didn't know about the third. In each
case there were no media reports on television, there was mention on
the Internet,
but only mentioned in four print papers throughout the country. I said
that had the races been reversed then it would have the lead on every
news show and front page of the print media.
She, my degreed
granddaughter from a "party hardy university", effectively told me that
she, from her "schooling" had been privy to many studies that didn't
agree with my position. My response was that if 90% of the journalists
and media types, 85% of academia, 95% of celebrities and 90% of the government employees are tinfoil hatted leftist loons,
then how could I know for a certainty that the studies she'd learned
were valid? For this, I am a racist. After all, didn't I see the movie
"A Time To Kill"? Well, hell, knock me over please!! I explained that the movie she saw was a remake
of a much older film whereupon she yells at me that the cars in the
film and other things were modern and that "stuff" like the KKK still
happen in the South. Goggle is the only thing I could do. Is this what
tens of thousands of dollars had achieved? It so, then this country is
in more than a world of really bad hurt, it is a goner
