Racism will become more prevalant

As the days roll on I realize that racism will become more prevalent in the American communities. I have this feeling that there will be a nasty backlash of hate crimes that will cross the line and leave you wondering if the line was crossed. However that may be there will be violations due to those who are going to clearly unpack their bags and let out the baggage, onto unsuspecting victims.

Take for instance this case down at NC State.


RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The North Carolina NAACP wants North Carolina
State University to expel four students accused of painting racist
messages about President-elect Obama on campus.

School Chancellor
James Oblinger held a closed-door meeting Wednesday with NAACP
President Rev. William Barber to discuss the graffiti in the campus
free expression tunnel.

Barber wants an official response within 48 hours. Oblinger says both sides have agreed to move forward.

Four
students admitted spray-painting the messages, including one that used
a racial slur and suggested shooting Obama in the head.

Officials
have said the unidentified students won't face criminal charges because
the writing wasn't a hate crime since it was written on a wall where
free speech is encouraged.
