WHITE MAN BEATS UP BLACK WOMAN AT CRACKER BARREL

Talk about coincidence. Earlier, I posted an item about former president Jimmy Carter and his feelings on the racial climate in politics. Among his remarks were his experiences growing up in Georgia, particularly as they pertained to racism. And now we have one Troy Dale, who upon exiting a Cracker Barrel restaurant(no f-ing joke!) in Morrow, GA, almost hit a child with the door. The woman, Tasha Hill, who was entering the restaurant with the child, calmly asked that he be more careful. He then proceeded to beat the woman down with his fists and feet while her 7 year-old child watched, calling her a "nigger bitch" in the process. The police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.

On the flip, Rush Limbaugh is attempting to fan the flames of racial hatred by insisting that a recent fight on a school bus in which a group of black kids beat up a white kid was motivated by President Obama's vision of America. It turns out the fight wasn't racially motivated as both white and black kids cheered the group on, but rather was over a choice of seating.

I have no further words for this.
