Just thinking about it...

I don’t know if anyone remembers when that white lady got stabbed in a mall by some angry black guy "because she was white." When that happened Al Sharpton didn’t form a march, he didn’t call the President, he didn’t make numerous appearances, he didn’t do anything accept say oh, well that's unfortunate. Isn’t he supposed to be against hate crimes, and racism? Yet when some kids are getting teased in a High School in Texas he feels to the need to make it national news, and those bullies are now undergoing psychological treatment.
