More and more I'm reading viewpoints concerning the drug bust and a liquor store called Geronimo. It seems that as long as whites are talking about other races it's OK and no one should be offended, after all "we are being fair." Why not name the liquor store "President Bush Spirits" to show respect for him, or let all the users of drugs in the black community out of jail, after all they were just "recreational users too." "And why beholdest Thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" I wonder why it took the feds three years to round up those "recreational users" over the bridge when the police don't seem to have a problem harassing blacks in our community on a daily basis. Every newscast I view talks about how intelligent white criminals are. I submit to you that it is not intelligence that keeps them out of jail, but their friends in the departments of "corrections" that continually turn a blind eye, after all they do know one another. - Mary Armstrong, Pensacola - --- MAP posted-by: Derek
