"I think that puts a greater responsibility on those of us lucky in the 'race lottery."

Hi Clo - Are we talking here in terms of "the White Man's Burden" or "Noblesse Oblige"?

Hi KTC,

There is a man that took in a family of immigrants until the court decides their fate. He was on a show I was watching, he said something incredible, not exactly what he said but close, 'we were lucky in the lottery of birthplaces.'

I feel likewise with race(s).
Its something I/we had no choice of.
I think that puts a greater responsibility on those of us lucky in the 'race lottery.'

Don't get me wrong, there are great officers of the law & I applaud their strengths & courage.
There are also 'criminals in blue' that abuse their power... they need to be weeded out, by their fellow officers, before things go bad!
