Refresh my memory, how many race riots did we have in this country during the Bush presidency? We still had white cops then, right? |

Doesn't need to be a White Cop....
This was a Black cop that shot a Black man, as confirmed by the Black Chief of Police. |

Correct again!
In better news, you might like to know that I signed my first grader up for cub scouts, Tiger Den I think. First trip is coming up, an overnighter on a battleship in Fall River. He and I are both excited to be starting what I hope will be a journey as rewarding as I assume yours was with your son. I always liked hearing how involved you were. |

Race relations regression will be Obama's most significant fail IMO. This will be a huge part of his legacy.

Do you think that Birther movement had anything to do with this? |

I don't. You hear a lot of complaining about this but only a small subset of people really believe it - then and now.
(For the record, I think ANYONE running for President - or any office that requires standards be met - should need to submit all of the proper documentation to prove eligibility - always have and long before Obama) |

no, but Lack of leadership on Obama's fault has a lot to do with it. |

A TINY bit. They are a very small fringe group, whom no one believes.
The Dallas police sniper didn't say he was getting revenge for the birthers. I have never seen anyone at a recent riot, holding a sign that said anything about birthers. I see a lot of signs about BLM.
Am I wrong, Paul? |

We both can't wait!
My son is a shy kid. I brought him to the signups, and he was sitting next to me as I filled out the paperwork. Some slightly older kids came over, and invited him to do an art project with them, then they played tag, then one of them invited him to his birthday party. Sometimes you can just tell that you are surrounded by people who share your values. I am very happy he will be having these experiences, and sharing them with these kinds of families. Already talking about taking his den, maybe a couple of dens, ice fishing this winter with a well known CT guide. |
