I agree with everything you said BUT, I find it an offsided play when it isn't dealt with evenly and fairly in the media. They are simply not getting on this in the same fashion if the circumstances were reversed. Had a white person desecrated a few black civil rights workers graves simply because there was a "perceived" offense displayed at/on the grave, the national news would be non-stop reporting this and you could bet there would be some civil disobedience/marches/protests conducted by the black community.

Things happened in history, I did not cause it nor had no part in it. I refuse to laden with a pseudo-guilt because it happened simply because I am white. Crime stastics rarely get reported by demographics. In 2002 there were 1,916,380 black on white crimes, yet 362,784 white on black crimes with only 1689 of these being "hate" crimes. When it comes down to one race mistreating another, believe me there is plenty enough blame to pass around to everyone.
