Remember the killing of two white cops and four other white city officials by a black man in Kirkwood in 2008? The white populous was so enraged and incensed that they took to the streets and looted and set on fire downtown Kirkwood. President Bush stated that whites were justified in their anger over this incident and was sending his attorney general to make sure their rights were protected. The head of the Ku Klux Klan left his TV show to show his support for the white community.
Uh, wait a minute. ... What? ... Kirkwood prayed and started a dialogue with their fellow black citizens? There was no violence? All of Kirkwood reacted with kindness and understanding?
