perception is everything.....

ok, so i work 1 day a week in another county.......and among others i work with a mother of another sneior at dhs........and from her i gain the black prespective on events........she had a completely different take on the recent drug-dog search of the school.......to her...if the child found with illegals had been black the whole event would have taken an uglier turn.....and the statement by the principal about not knowing whether the child would walk across the stage would never have been said........hmmm.....she is probably right.......things would have turned out differently, especially since the child in question is a white daughter of a local lawyer........i would say that there was no question as to whether she would walk.......despite the rumor that this is not the first time she has been caught with illegals.......and her race was not mentioned in the article.....the mother i spoke with said that a black child would be printed as such by media coverage......and she is probably right about that too.......one would think thatstrides have been made.....but that is only my perception......a view not shared by those closer to delicate issues......
