Racism!  

        A word used so much and so often I'm wondering if anyone even listens to it anymore, much-less cares.  The word racist has been attached to so many of the wrong people even entire groups of people where efforts to disparage them by making the word racism synonymous with that groups label, have only helped in diminishing the words meaning as nothing more than a tactic for use as an ad-hominem or personal insult to anyone belonging to or suspected of being a member of that group. 

It is used to disparage the GOP all the time and by arguably the most guilty of the same accusation, the democrats themselves have proven over and over to be some of the most bigoted and racist individuals and groups to toss the word around.   I would also suggest they are the sole reason the word no longer is taken seriously. 

If you want to be seen as not racist, I suggest you quit using the word or projecting your own racism onto everyone else 
Take the Michael Brown case and ask yourself, in light of the evidence and ONLY in the true light of the evidence presented in that case,, would a black cop, acted any differently? 

If you're like most of us and you are honest with yourself, you can't say a black cop wouldn't have shot Michael Brown dead merely because he was black.   To another black man, his suspect being black really is irrelevant.  What matters is your own life and whose race is whose has no importance whatsoever. 

So when black activists say Black lives matter,, I have to say,, NO, they don't.  They don't matter in that situation and all that does matter is that you stay alive.    You don't stop to think about what someone like Al Sharpton would say or Jessie Jackson or even the whole population of Ferguson Missouri, would say about someone who has just demonstrated he is not afraid of you and is intent on attacking you, is twice your size and is charging fast.  You don't stop to think about offering the assailant a gun to make it fair for the sake of all the equality guru's and their Berkeley inspired stupidity. 

No, you think about yourself, your wife and kids and how much distance you are giving up between the time he has to clobber you and the bullets it's going to take to stop him dead in his tracks. 

That's really all anyone can conclude in any honest assessment of the Michael Brown case

and the last thing you or anyone else would be thinking about 

is what color skin he has because THAT

really doesn't matter.  

It doesn't matter 

at all.
