Civil Rights Leaders Raise Concerns Over Race Issues Following Shooting

:confused:

Civil rights leaders in Greenville held a meeting Thursday over their concerns about race issues following the shooting that killed two men in downtown Greenville.

The two victims were white. The suspect is black. Authorities are still searching for James Richardson.

He presented pages and pages of comments posted on news websites that he says expressed racial overtones and retaliation on the black community.

Huggins said the comments on internet websites create tension that's taking the focus off the crime and inciting racism.

The comments "incite the community and dispute the community," Huggins said. "It indicates we're going back to the 60s and 50s, and then we got problems, we got problems."

There would be less of those overtones if they behaved themselves better. When I was growing up there were very few minorities here. That has changed and is changing right along. The majority of the crimes being committed are by a statistically small segment of the population.

I think there would be less problems if "civil rights leaders" didn't make race an issue at every turn. It has gotten to the point where if you even criticize a black you are a racist. Look what the Inept One pulled off. Blacks should wise up to the fact that their "leaders" are just making a name for themselves; along with a lot of money and influence.
