(6,342 posts)21. Kids are not born racist. Where do you think he learned it from?
When this guy was arrested, I saw many people making rape jokes, making homosexual jokes....not on DU, but on other LIBERAL forums. The stuff these so-called progressives were saying was so vile I can't repost it here.
We are a sick society that seems to get off on other people suffering. We raise our kids in this environment of violence, hate, and vengeance. We love war. We love torture. We cheer the death penalty. We have so much hate and division all over society. Racism and hate will continue to propagate down from one generation to another.
Society has to change.

It's just some "folks" killing some "folks". As long as it isn't our "folks" it's all good.
