I was in Brooklyn the other night, and bought a drink from a shop owner that could have been mistaken for an Arab. I asked if I could watch the news and he obliged. The poor guy. As pictures of Bin Laden came on, he spouted profanities about the guy, and kept muttering "terrible, terrible".

Do we really think he spends all day spouting profanities everytime Bin Ladens face comes on, or was it because he was scared sh*tless because some strange white guy was present? The agression towards Arabs across the board is senseless. There is an Arab girl in our church, who doesn't even look remotely Arabic. The other day she actually prayed for forgiveness for her race. Poor thing. I thought she was referring to Europeans/Anglo-Celts and was heartily agreeing from my perspective. (Oops)

I have a couple of friends who run a convenince store
close to my house. They are from India. I'm scared to death something negative will happen or be said to them, just because they look foriegn! I hope we can be more sensible than that!

And you never did think that it ever would happen again, in America did you? And you never did think that we'd ever get together again, but we damn sure fooled ya. We're walkin' real proud and we're talkin' real loud again, in America. And you never did think that it ever would happen again.... (Charlie Daniels)
