Why??????? We don't need any more racial vindictiveness
in our society.  Just because these crimes which your
"truth" publication publishes occur, that does not in any
way imply that white people are victimized every day in
this country.  I know that *you* have not explicitly stated
this, but please then explain the point of your postings,
rather than merely posting such alarmist, selective
blatherings.
  I might point out by the way that the case you cite seems
to have been resolved in a judicious way, the reference to
the Duke notwithstanding.  I need to go on jury duty myself
tomorrow (seriously), so I may not see your response for a
few days, but I will be interested to see it.
