Dear Sir.
I am not sure what to make of your statement. I do not know what it's purpose is except to fuel the problems with race that we already have in this country. I believe that the media tries to make EVERYTHING look like the end of civilization because that is what sells! They made this event look much worse that it really was. The reason that it was not called the riot of the century is because it was a few hundred idiots burning trash and ruining the event for everyone. Why even ask such a question? Don't we have enough fuel on the "racist fire" already? I don't give a crap if you are white, it makes no difference to me. What does make a difference is that I am white, and I lived for four days with every type of human being there is over the weekend, (black, white, hispanic, one leg, no legs, indian, whatever) and that my friend is a statement and that is what makes a difference and some IDIOT burning trash and stealing tents will not change the fact that what we did was good.
Who gives a crap what the media calls it. Except for the end, I call it progress.
