Racism in America

I, like many others, have been wondering.... How is it that only White People are Racists ???? Some White Guy named Beck, just had a rally in Washington D.C. the other day. The News Media reports that Mr. Beck (can't remember his first name) who is some radio personality, was sponsored by or was representing the Tea Party Movement. I have been aware of this organization, but have payed about as much attention to it as I have of any other political movement that I have survived, in my lifetime. The 'Media' felt that they had to spend as much time reporting on Mr. Beck holding this rally on the same day as Martin Luther King's "I had a dream...." speech. Not only that, he would be standing within feet of where MLK stood when he gave the speech. The 'Media' then goes on with a synopsis of his speech, which was attempting to tell America that we need to basically get a hold of ourselves and be responsible for our own actions. To take pride in being an American and to return to the American Values of honesty, respect and to be law abiding citizens. He even talked about looking toward religion, getting on your knees and praying AND to let your children SEE YOU on your knees and praying. Personally, I am not a religious man, but, if that is what it takes to get people to return to American Values, then that is what we need to do. They report that Mr. Beck gave his speech like "the Showman that he is...."
Now, because the 'Media' does not want to appear to be Racist, they have to report that the Honorable Al Sharpton sponsored his own 'Rally'. They show him in his typical posture, ranting and raving on how "THEY CANNOT TAKE THIS DAY AWAY FROM US !!!!!", and "HOW DARE THEY BE SO DISRESPECTFUL" and on and on. Mr. Sharpton got equal, if not more time to spew his "DOWN WITH WHITEY" speech that he has been harping on for more years than I care to remember. The 'Media' gave Mr. Sharpton not such discriptors that they tagged Mr. Beck with. Am I really the only one that sees something wrong with this ????
I guess all White People are just so racist that we too 'Have a Dream'. To return to the American ways of honesty and respect. But alas.... Al Sharpton and people like him, would rather continue an atmosphere of racial tension. After all.... all you White People owe ALL the Black People.
