Unfortunately, there was internet access at the soup kitchen so I booked a room at the Hilton with today's peddling money.

Wow, sounds like you are really pissed off...I'm actually a conservative and yes I have my prejudices as we all do. As far as "cracker" killing, I am totally against this as I love putting crackers in my soup.

Andrew, just admit you made a mistake here. The woman did not make any racist comments and now you're attempting to justify what you've done by blaming the NAACP based on the "racist" comments she made. There are many issues this incident reveals: one is the media's taking stories out of context and creating sensationalism; another is the lack of accountability people take in regards to these incidents (why can't anyone just say they made a mistake, apologize and move on!); another is the conclusions we all jumped to based on this irresponsible reporting and trust in the media. However, we should be proud to live in such a diverse country that takes civil rights and equality so seriously;no other country does.
