Re: Jason Whitlock column on Taylor

See I think that "to each his own" is what's wrong here. No one, and I mean NO ONE, wants to be held accountable anymore. People need to start to understand that our actions as individuals effect us as a whole. No, I'm not arbiter of what is right and wrong but there have to be standards to which we are held. I respect your view point, I just don't agree with it. Part of my reason for discussing this issue so much today is that I have had some in-person conversations on this subject with friends of mine and no one has any answers, just defense mechanisms. It seems like white people like me are afraid to talk about it because they think they'll be branded as racist or not in-touch or whatever. I guess I'm just frustrated with this country because I feel like we're headed for some really bad times and no one's going to stop it from happening.
