What have we wrought???

06/21/07

     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
