Racial bias...

Commentators, puzzling about Donald Trump’s continued popularity, have begun to speculate that it is his candor that is winning converts – yes, he often says dumb, incorrect, even outrageous things, but what you see is (apparently) what you get – a real Donald, warts and all.  Compared to weasel-wording, spin-doctored , TV-groomed, PAC-purchased politicians, he is a refreshing change for many.

Along the same lines as telling it like it is, politically incorrect or not, let me point out an obvious fact that no one seems to want to address for fear of being racist – there is rampant black racism as well as white racism. Let the police shoot a black man these days  – even an armed one – and there will be riots and protests and stern words from the President, and all the usual black civil rights leaders will show up to berate the white community.

But let a black man shoot a white TV reporter and white cameraman n Virginia, on air, and you hear hardly a peep from the black community.  Let a black man in Houston approach a white sheriff’s deputy filling his gas tank at a gas station and shoot him, execution style from behind, and repeatedly, and not a single one of the prominent (and loud) civil rights leaders has a word to say about it.

Looks like pretty obvious racial bias here………
