Reply #14: The Traditional American Racists Are Getting Old and Dying Off [View All]

[elletoday]

What happened to Mr. Johns is a true tragedy! I won't speak badly against his murderer because I am not one to judge. If anything this incident can serve as an important reminder. Firstly, it reminds us that those who lived in a time when racism against non-whites was prevalent and a societal norm are still alive and are potentially dangerous, even in their old age. Racism in this country maybe aging but it isn't dead yet! Secondly, it reminds us that that generation is in they're 80s now and those after them in them are in they're 70s, 60s, and are getting closer and closer to the grave. And I say see ya later! The old and enlightened should strive to stay around because it is from them that we can learn some of what would surely be our most treasured lessons. As for the old and ignorant, they're time has come and gone. Maybe they should take the hint. If you won't die off then die down with all the nonsense! Let the rest of us progress past this country's shameful past even if you weren't so fortunate.
