WHY CAN'T WE ALL GET ALONG?
Black rights and feminist leaders were quick to judge and then condemn the three young, Duke scholar-athletes of rape before evidence was ever presented for their guilt. Whatever happened to “innocent until proven guilty?”
Will Jesse Jackson and/or Al Sharpton issue an apology to the Duke men for their negative comments? Will they offer apologies like they demanded of Don Imus for his inappropriate remarks? I doubt it. Individuals like Sharpton, Jackson, Ray Nagin (New Orleans-- a “chocolate city” and blaming “whites” for the destruction) and others develop strength by convincing blacks and the lower classes that their despair is the fault of the white man.
It’s true some of the lower classes have had it hard, but the blame can never solely be attributed to the white man.
Americans must learn to listen first, grasp the facts, then reach a judgment and not react first, ask questions later. Until we all work together, instead of advancing are own interests/agendas, and treat all equally regardless of social status or race, then and only then will America be truly a great, fair nation.
