Some cowards want to stick their heads in the sand and pretend it is not there. Some perpetrators want to trick the victims into believing they are not victims. The best way to deal with the stinking pile is to shine the light of truth. Some (victims and perpetrators) can compete and some are afraid of the competition. Racism is alive and well.

Racism is definitely still out there and is still a factor for Obama to contend with during the election. If Obama does win the presidency, racism will not magically go away either. Racists are afraid of someone black, or even biracial, becoming presisdent. I think the Eagle made a good call.

The slur was definitely offensive - however it is not the Eagle doing the offending. As a community we must be aware of the existence of this garbage - no matter how disturbing. Shine a spotlight on these cockroaches. And, if the police catch the guy make sure his name is well publicized. You made the right decision.
