    This is what happened in the 60′s when I was a young gi is noted…race, religion, republican, democrat, lawyers, medical, and so much more…As a nation of diverse unities and not, why do we succumb under hypocrites and extremes….We seem to have hidden agendas when it comes to power…I have already suffered under the extremes of race, religion and what was suppose to be a clear path of good that was overcome by so much envy and power of the likes….the ACLU needs to hire more people to represent the contnual occurrances of mishaps that need court knowledge and for the common good of Americans….the common good that does not even begin to grab hold of the lack of…. the truth always comes out in the long run….It’s about “power” and who has the right to harness it…it’s about races, religions, games, and states….It is known all to well even in politics..this is a soar that has been festering for along time…my professor said years ago that there would be a culture war…and the enemy of our country sees this as an opportunity to let us destroy ourselves from within….This must be “stopped” the indifferance, the lack of tolerance that does not show effort or hope…As an American, I am looking at all the derelictions that are happening, and all awhile everyone is battling forces of evil so great, we will miss the mark of its intent!

    The Black protest according to the article was led the “Houston chapter Nation of Islam” and “The New Black Panther Party”, which explains why “Black power” was exchanged. The counter-protest that usually engages minorities are always created by white supremacist.

    Sounds like Texas is seeing surge of race tensions between Blacks and Whites, as in Maricopa County its between Latinos and Whites, as in Rapid City its between Natives and Whites but…..
    Where’s the Jews????

    The only real difference about this protest, is that nobody got seriously hurt. And as the article pointed out, only 2 white supremacists were arrested and booked. No Blacks, however, were apprehended……

    it will come a time when we black people will stop protesting. we will stop allowing things to go punished and then the problem will start. we will get tired even with a semi-black president in the whitehouse. you can only push even and animal so far before he comes after you. people must know that we are getting feed up with being treated any kind of way. mark my words, we will get sick of this and then you can worry.tyski1@hotmail.com

    What was the purpose of a “dragging?” The police added to the screaming of either power “screaming.”

    So much vehement hatred — a waste of productive energy. Where are the good churches and synogogues while this mess is going on?
