I've seen a black good old boys power system at work in the military, it was just as ugly as any white racism I've ever witnessed. Maybe worse as they would victimize others then be the first to run to Equal Opportunity claiming they were the victims...
There are abusers on both sides of the fence....wrong is wrong.
But I'm sure you didn't get our of your bed, to picket and protest when you were privy to any injustices coming from "your side"...so, now, don't be so wiling as to point fingers at a "rare" occurrance , an clear example of racism exhibited by a black person against a white one, in a public arena.
The reprocussions from such pale in comparision to the endless examples of white on black racism. One man lost his job, unjustly, and you all, as expected, "overreact".
Slavery was an American institution, sanctioned by the government and the church, and far more people suffered much more than the "loss of a job".
It's hyperbole, to suggest otherwise. Damn!
