All the criminals were black by the way, not that that means anything here in Houston....right?

Ok so it devolved into a tit for tat. Could you just say when this happened? where this happened? I for one would be interested in reading about it. A link would be good to your source.

Let me know how life is in your "Sound of Music" world that y'all live in. Here in reality, things are somewhat different.

I guess you'd rather me search through scores of journals and diaries than face the shocking truth that - GASP! - I accused some black men of robbing a store.

The last part, while perhaps true in this case is also inflammatory. Do you think that fanning the flames of racial stereotyping is useful?
I watched a movie called Crash over the weekend, perhaps you've heard of it or seen it? Stereotyping black people as being criminals isn't helpful and is very hurtful. Other than playing to an audience who would agree with your stereotyping, What point were you making?
