The flip sign of the coin is that this unbelievable happening has shattered an aspect of white Americans like nothing else could, not Frrguson, not Baltimore, not Freddy Gray. Messing with their sense of decency grounded in their spiritual lives is beyond the pall. The governor of SC didn't say God bless you. (Well, she may have). She said something like, "we know they (the victims) are now in heaven. No hesitation, she invoked obviously her own Christianity. What this moronic stupid idiot has done is surface people who care, whose basic sense of race is changed forever. Watching the Rmanuel AME church service I was moved at their sense of forgiveness, Americans were moved by the process.
Several mornings a week about three to ten guys meet for breakfast at various places, usually in Marin County, California. Most are vets. We have some amazing conversations for old guys: we have enormous experience. Our senior guy is 80 and our youngest, 44. We are WW ll and Vietnam. We talk about politics, women--no subject is off-limits. My wife calls them my "girlfriends." After our talks, I usually summarize our thoughts on the blog.

WHAT MOVES AMERICANS THAT CARE
The thing that irritated me most about this heinous act is that we let some ignorant, stupid, dumb, uneducated, brainwashed biget who doesn't know his arsh fron a hole in the ground create such havoc, sadness, sense of helplessness and for me as a Souherner, shame. First of all that a stupid human being can even exist witout somebody kicking his ass till his nose bleeds, is amazing to me.
