The family's of the seven black kids who drowned in the Red River have my sympathy. What a tragedy. But our own federal government puts the blame on whites because these kids couldn't swim and none of their family members couldn't swim to attemt to save them. The federal government played the race card in blaming whites in the south for keeping blacks from using swimming pools thus keeping blacks and these children from learning how to swim. It has been 46 years since Lyndon Johnson signed into law the Civil Rights legislation. The oldest child was 17 years old. Apparently blacks had the last 46 years to use swimming pools and learn to swim.
Read the article presently on 4um written by Pat Buchanan and try and convince yourself that the whites are the guilty party in these drownings. We have gone the extra mile and turned the other cheek until there is nothing left of the cheek and we still get blamed for being racist.
A river is no place to go swimming, particularly if you can't swim. There is no life guards where the drownings happened. Isn't it a shame that these kids and their families didn't use common sense. Oh, that is whitey's fault also because they didn't realize the danger and didn't learn it in school because they might have dropped out of school.
What the hell is this government going to blame us (whites) for next?
