But now certain political folks have decided that this makes a great election issue for them so they're purposely riling up their base over it. This is all about driving Republicans to the polls in November. And what a shock, now bigoted assholes are actually attacking random brown people that they perceive as Muslim.

I find your point very interesting, do you have a link to the articles you mention?

Even if many love to think that i'm a racist hater, i just want to read more info about this to clear my mind abou the issue.

That people are pouncing on this story now for political gain is also pretty obvious, but spin or no spin there's still an underlying sensitivity issue here that needs to be addressed separately from issues of integration, rights, and politics.

Don't think you're a racist, just think you need some time to work it out for yourself. I'm betting your position tempers quite a lot given a little time.

I'm glad, because I don't want to shock at all. Plenty of people shoot, just be safe and use your head.
