CNN has been running a series on their website this week entitled “Black in America”.  After reading several of the articles I’ve come to a conclusion. There are a lot of paranoid black people in America.  Take Anthony Williams for instance, a 39 year old former Marine from Atlanta, Georgia. Other than a few minor traffic violations, he says he has never had any trouble with the law. Yet, he still gets nervous when he hears the police are looking for a six foot tall black man because he fits that description.

Come on now! There’s about 125,000 black men in Atlanta and I bet a lot of those are around 6 feet tall! And you get nervous when police are looking for someone in a group that size? Would you get excited if you were told you had a 1 in 125,000 chance of winning the lottery? I don’t think so.
