“But after listening to his harsh words for America and for white men, then having pastor after black pastor affirm that they felt nearly the same. Well, I am of the opinion that black men must hate us. It makes me so very sad.”

Not me. I don’t care. I’ve done nothing to deserve their demented hatred, so they can cram it. I know tons of African and Caribbean immigrants who love this country, who came here and prospered, and who laugh at the native-born blacks whining and seething about how awful their lives are.

I knew a Nigerian who walked across the Sahara to get here. During the Rodney King hoopla, he told me that it reaffirmed the greatness of the U.S. because the entire country was in an uproar over a single police beating. Where he came from, the cops and the army slaughtered whoever they wanted, and nobody cared.

So, no white guilt here.
