We know what he said and we know what he meant. He will never admit it and neither will his "followers". The media can report it all day, nothing would happen.

The man already got away once saying "I said BLEH PEOPLE", the media accepted that pathetic excuse and they would do the same with this comment.

on it he just asks -

"Then why do you allow stores to follow blacks as if they steal more, charge them more for home loans with the same credit as a white person, give them extra scrutiny in traffic stops and other situations and use them to feed your Prison-Industrial Complex while whites are privileged, not having to undergo that scrutiny. Your police departments regularly mistreat people with black skin, condoning other's criminal actions or themselves breaking in and shooting old, defenseless men, and none of you seem to have the willingness, or guts, to stop it. You are home watching me on youtube while this is going on, aren't you?

Bunch of hypocrites. Talk to me when you have as much skin in the game as Trayvon, are crying real tears for Kenneth, or know what it's like to have your parents hug you because there is a better than even chance you won't return from a trip to the store for no other reason than your skin color".

The country that invented racism, indeed.

And the funny part, I don't think it's because white people are scared of hearing that, as is often attributed. I think they are supremely comfortable with the situation and won't address it until things are on fire.

But the day of the peaceful march just might be over.
