Life Is Too Complicated For Most Of Us
Well you know... Me, I am 1/2 Hungarian, the rest being Amerind and Irish, etc. So there's a lot going on there that has nothing to do with skin. My whole life I've been totally accepted as "white." But I'm a very funny guy. I used to go to the Black Panther meetups, the only "white" person there. They would claim that the "white man" was the vortex of evil on this earth. Then we would all get together and discuss the "situation."
Same thing with the White Power folks. They think the "back man" is a fearsome presence that must somehow be exorcised from our great nation. I've known them too.
The point is that almost none of these people want to assassinate anyone, regardless of color, etc. Let me put it this way: I've also known the ones who could kill. It just happens that they really do not care about race, etc., except for the possibility that that could help them get away with it. I've known mafia people. You have to be Italian to be in the original version, but if they shoot you, I promise they will not care the least bit about your skin color, etc.
People talk about being racist because of cultural expectations. That does not translate into action. Your killer will not care about your background, color, etc., except to the extent that it gives them cover.
Hillary has as much to worry about in this sense as anyone else in the presidential race. How did she wander into this swamp? Obama made some goofy mistakes at first. The bit about going into Pakistan was instantly recognizable as absurd. But they are supposed to get smarter as they go along. Not goofier. Hillary must be almost as dumb as W. Bush. Unbelievable.
